Hello, just picked up a clip+ at BB and wonder about something. If the battery is charging it is blinking and when the battery is charged it scrolls slowly from empty to full?? Is this correct?? Thank you!! Doug:)
Once the battery has charged completely, the display will show a solid battery icon.

Hmmmmmmm, mine may be goin back to bb for replacement. Thank you! Doug:)
Yeah, Prolly more like five hours…any suggestions?? Doug:)
I seem to be having the same issue. It shows as charging from a partially charged state when I plug it in, then, when it seems to get to a full charge, it switches to a charge from empty indicator. I let it charge overnight (about 10 hours) and it never showed a solid battery icon until I unplugged it. I’m going to test it today to see what capacity I get. Hopefully it’s just a display bug.

I charged mine overnight and it is still showing that its charging. It did show 100% power in the settings menu tho?? Hmmmmmm not sure what to do. Doug:)
Anybody else seeing this? Doug:)
It should probably be okay after 2 or 3 charging cycles. The first charge or two, the player might not indicate fully charged even after being left charging many hours. It would also help to let the charge level get to around 25% or so before charging again for the next two charges. After that, one should run the battery down to around 25% or so at least once a month to keep the battery in good condition, and to help keep the battery indicator more accurate.

You can check the power level via Settings > Info and scroll down to power.
I agree that a few charge cycles is the way to go before worrying about the battery. If you are connected in MTP mode, you can open a WIndows Explorer window via My Computer or [Windows key] + E, right click, and select Properties. The charge status is available there from the PC.

Okay, I’ll cycle it a few times and see how it goes, thanks all!!! Doug:)
I’ve now been through several charge cycles, and the player cuts out with significant (~50%) battery still showing. I’m pretty sure this is a problem with the display, but it’s a bit of a pain to manage.
I’m having the same issue. I left it charging overnight and the battery is still scrolling from left to right. Hopefully this will right itself over time.
man i am having the exact same problem. i’ve left to charge forever and it’s still saying it’s charging. i too will try and go through a few cycles but if it still doesnt work i’m sending this thing in for warranty.
Well, after more than a week of full charge cycles there is no change. The battery seems to be fine, though, and I don’t *think* it’s overcharging (at least I hope not).
It seems to be an annoyingly persistent display bug, but nothing more than that for now.
Try discharging the battery even more this time before charging again, perhaps down to around 20%. This might solve the problem.
Hi all,
I am also having this problem. Has Sandisk mention anything about this as a bug? Thank you.
Hi, everyone! *waves* Just got my Clip+ yesterday, & charged it this morning. I have the same issue as reported here, & I’m also wondering if this is just a bug. Since there’s several reports of this here, I’d assume it is… I’ll try a couple of charge cycles as suggested, & see what happens. Perhaps I should drain the battery completely, rather than 25%, to re-calibrate the meter?
I wouldn’t call it a bug. It happened with my Fuze and my Clip+. It is not good for the battery to go too low, so I don’t advise draining it completely. Getting it down to around 20-25% should be sufficient.
But there are several reports of this… They can’t all be defective
I’ll drain it to 25% & see how it goes *fingers crossed*.

Well I just received my replacement Clip+ from Amazon and on the first charge it is exibiting the same problem. After 2 complete charges and discharges my other one never righted itself and it runs out of battery when the meter is showing 1/3 left.
It would seem that this is a calibration issue that Sansa will have to fix in a firmware update. Hopefully we will get some sort of response but I’m not betting on it.
