Varia Radar is taking me 5 hours to charge????

Like the subject says, I just got the radar (and vision) and the radar seems to take a really long time until the green led stops flashing. I think it was around 5 hours. Is that normal, what are you guys experiencing in terms of charge time? Also, I have the Samsung fast chargers (can't recall how much current) but is it okay to use a fast charger on the radar? Thanks
  • Using a fast charger will make no difference if the device being charged can't use the fast charging... You could put a 3000mA charger on there and it will still only draw what the device is designed to draw. You cannot force it to charge faster...

    My Radar is charged in ~2 hours using a regular boring standard 2000mA charger - I've not had the desire to see what current the Radar actually draws on charging though.

    Two hours is I guess what I expected. So what do you make of my Radar needing 5 hours to charge, defective? Its almost one to one for charge/discharge time.
  • That either the adaptor is underpowered (500mA?) or the cable is defective or the unit is defective.
