my boy recently got one of these from aldi but the battery seems very slow in charging using usb mains adaptor been charging it for hours but battery strength increased very little
i had a look at this tablet...read some reviews of testers of this
did not make very good reading
according to scource this tablet was put in the sale...end of product...
once gone...aldi are not restocking
i would advise you to take it back and get refund..assumeing under warranty
tell them it has a known issue of battery charging fault...plus other issues...
Aldi Lifetab S10346 review: verdict
All of which is a huge shame, because if it weren’t for this problem, we’d be encouraging readers to rush out and grab one before stocks run out (it’s one of Aldi’s “Specialbuys”, so when it’s gone, the supermarket won’t replenish its shelves). It is possible that a software update might fix its shortcomings at some point in the future – but we wouldn’t want to bet £150 on it. The Lifetab S10346 could have been a real contender for the best buy of this Christmas, but as the hardware stands, it’s barely usable and should be avoided at all costs.
has it really got a known issue with battery charging as ive finally got it charged after 2 days of trying
aacording to scource yes...somtimes very slow if any charge..sometimes fast...its hit and miss
you may be lucky and after a few slow charges..get normal
its exactly as you said recharges when it feels like it ive also got the 7" version about 12 months ago and its hit and miss as well doesent seem to charge unless its powered off also when i switch it off to charge when i check it after a couple of hours its powered up again and not charging
have you got a link to source pleaseQuote:
