First post and it's an annoyance. Got my Typhoon H from Costco yesterday and started setting it up this evening. Got to the part about charging the batteries and set up the charger; when I put the battery on it the display went from blinking green to a succession of blinks and beeps I could not figure out, based on the scant info in the startup guide. It was something like BEEP, and then a succession of lights that included a few flashes of green, a red, a red/green, and a blue. It would then beep and start this all over. Alas, I did NOT notice the small print on the charger that provided a fuller explanation re what the flashes meant.
In any case, both batteries yielded the exact same sequence, and I found it hard to believe that a BEEP every ten seconds or so was normal. I then decided connected the controller to the charger with a battery also in the charger, as shown in the illustration in the setup guide. The ST16 came to life and was trying to connect to the camera, which wasn't set up yet, and I didn't get any useful info off the screen, so I **** it down.
About then was when I noticed the charger had gone dark. I also noted the slightly "skunky" smell one associates with overheated electronics; I'd noted it earlier in this ten-minute adventure, too. Now it was distinct if you sniffed at the cooling vents on the charger.
And now, other than getting somewhat warm, the charger does nothing - no lights, no beeps, no nothing, no matter what. The 110v wall plugs I've used are fine.
I tried the YUNEEC 844 number, hoping for ONCE in my life it would get answered in some Asian call center, but nope, the good ol' USA - where of course they'll be back Tuesday morning, and not busy at ALL.
Anybody else had charger issues? I'm thinking that's likely what this was.
