Hi guys...I've just bought a tello today and it's now been charging over 3 hours and still no where near fully charged. I'm using a genuine Samsung charger and cable.... any ideas to why its not fully charged...
Many thanks

i hope its your charger, thats faulty. Check the charging status of your battery by connecting the drone with your device. It shouldnt take that long to charge ...after that you shoud use another charger.

Do you have it on an angle, or try calibration on the center of gravity too

Please check output current on your charger. 1,5A = fully charged in less than one hour. My friend tried 0,4A and it was taking hours.

Are you using direct charging to tello? or using a charging hub? If you’re using direct charging to tello I think you’ve got a factory defect battery, I suggest to use a charging hub if you have a lot of extra battery it takes only more than 1 hour only.
 
I'm using a Tello brand 3 port cradle w/ a 3.0 amp walwart .
It takes about 40/42 min per batt to fully charge all three.
That's around 2 hours, plus or minus 10 or so minutes.
With a 1.0 amp chrgr a little bit longer time than a 3.0 Amp.
I also changed low batt setting to kick off at 15%, not 20%
That gives me almost an extra 1 to 1 1/2 min more fly time.

btw: You can find that cradle thru Newegg or E-bay for abt $20/$25
Newegg Item#: 9SIA3527EG9253

Try charging thru a USB port on your PC, and if it works then, you
can pretty much tell that your walwart is bad not the batt. I've had
several of then quit on me for what ever reason, I don't know.
Hope this helps
