Looks like I have killed the battery of my gat02v6. While I was working on the PC and having the FR laying besides (running Om2007.2), I noticed the red LED flashing once in a second. I took out the battery because I couldn't reboot. I booted from flash (currently with the newest FSO), all looked normal. When the system was up, I plugged in USB, the screen went black and the red LED began flashing like above. I took out the battery, measured and it showed only 2.99V. Then I attached external power, booted Om2007.2 from SD card, when it was up I connected USB, removed external power and put in the battery - shortly after the screen went black bla bla rhabarbar...<br>
<br>With the battery from the other FR (fully loaded, shows 4.35V) everything is fine again. Have I killed the battery by over-using the device? I boot about 10 times a day, from flash or SD, playing with GSM, GPS and WLAN. Is it possible to charge that battery ever again?<br>

<br>The "driver failed to report `voltage_now' property" is because at that time it was on external power. No messages were logged after I put in the battery.<br><br>
