nippyjun Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I just got a relay g10 yesterday.I charged it over night. The green light never turned solid green while on the base. It just keeps slowly flashing green.Is this faulty?The manual says it's supposed to be solid green when done charging? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Line6Tony Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Hello. If you're having charging issues, please make sure you seat the transmitter completely into the receiver, otherwise the transmitter will not charge. For more details, see this article: Relay G10 FAQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nippyjun Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Mine is fully seated. Customer service said that the transmitter is only solid green when charged and plugged into a guitar. All literature says solid green when fully charged and in the dock, and/or when plugged into guitar. Blinking green when charging in the dock. As I said above mine never is solid green in the dock. Only when plugged into the guitar. Mine blinks green in the dock after overnight charging. Who is correct? I would assume solid green in the charged meaning fully charged is what is supposed to happen. Was customer service correct or wrong?

nippyjun Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 Can someone from line 6 clear this up? Are there 2 different firmwares each with different behavior? Am I doing something wrong? Or is my unit messed up? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nippyjun Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 I exchanged mine for another one today and the new one turns solid green as it's supposed to do. The first one must have been defective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jws1982 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 My guess would be that they had a bad batch of lithium battery cells. Those cells, when fully charged, aren't hitting the voltage that the transmitter expects to see when fully charged. So, it keeps trickle-charging the battery (any decent lithium charging circuit should slow down as full charge approaches) to try and get it up to that voltage. Either that, or the lithium cell is just plain bad and won't hold a charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squick Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 My new Relay G10 is being used with a Yamaha THR30ii. The relay plugged into the amplifier for charging goes from red to flashing green, but will not reach a steady green glow. Both units have the latest firmware. Is the relay faulty if it never reaches the steady green glow when charging? I’ve only had the relay since early November and it’s never reached solid green once. Please advise as to whether or not it is defective and needs to be replaced before warranty expires. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
