Fred, I have trouble understanding your sentences - sorry, but please take your time - what is the Rogers statement about, "1 have not even got the Rogers to turn yet to get it airborne."?
I don't suppose you have a volt meter (every guy should have one, and know how to use it, in my opinion). You should measure the voltage on the two outer pins (there are 4 pins). This will tell you if your charger is bad and what the battery voltage is. Should be about 12V (3 cells at ABOUT 4 volts per cell).
I think we can assume (??) the Breeze is not seeing the correct voltage. What we don't know is if there is a bad cell in the battery, so it only reads 8V or so, or if the charger is not working properly. Normally if a charger issue you will see a blue light flashing. Does your charger blink GREEN when just plugged into the wall - no battery installed?
