I have an S-A-A-2 unit. I used the unit for a while, then turned it off and plugged it into a USB charger. It took about an hour before all of the red LEDs under the unit were fully lit and not blinking, which I presume means it's fully charged.
I left the unit plugged in and set it aside and noticed a couple of days later that one of the red LEDs started blinking again, as if it's charging the battery. That lasted about an hour then all the red LEDs were lit again.
Now this morning it's doing the same thing. I'm not sure why it's starting a charge cycle every 12-24 hours nor why it takes an hour each time to charge the battery. The unit is shut off and just sitting on the table. I don't think it's discharging itself.
Has anyone else observed this? Should I unplug the charger as soon as the LEDs stop blinking? Why does it seem to always take an hour to charge, even after I've used it a while?
Beware of cheap underperforming clones
As of 2022 there are many badly performing clones on the market. V2/3GHz NanoVNA uses parts like ADF4350 and AD8342 which are costly and clones have been cutting costs by using salvaged or reject parts.
See official store and look for V2 Plus4/V2 Plus4 Pro versions only to avoid getting a bad clone. We have stopped selling V2.2 versions since October 2020, so all V2 hardware that are not Plus or Plus4 are not made by us and we can not guarantee performance.
