You will then find it in the state where disconnecting and reconnecting the battery is required to get it to charge again. I am not making this up. Oh, and opening it is pretty tricky even with the proper plastic tools to do so. Since I have two of them, that&rsquo;s how I lost thirty minutes of my life on Saturday.</p>
