I'm still waiting for mine to arrive to me overseas. Just wondering if I'll need a converter to charge him on 220?

[PleoWorld]

Cool! Well if you bought it from your country's distributor (in Germany or Chine or wherever...) then it should come with the appropriate charger!

The "switch type things" help the battery lock into Pleo.

At the point then the PLEO Charger light turns green the Battery is no longer being charged. It's the Charging process which generates heat. If you've a UGOBE PLEO as opposed to newer INNOV LABS PLEO (INNOV have the 12 digits serial number format 8168XXXXXXX8) then the Charger typically only charges a flat Battery for 2hr 20 minutes before the light goes green. I found re-seating the Battery at this point makes the light go Red prolonging the charge I repeat this until I have a full 3hr Charge.

Thanks but I did try that originally..All I do is to put a bit of card round the back of the battery to stable it then it's fine..Many thanks though...

I thought the same thing until I watched this video. You have to clip in the front first, then it works fine.

I Just got my Pleo today and the 2 fully first charges (3 hours each) only lasted for 5 minutes of playing!!

I'm returning it to the store tomorow!...

[TheRusskinruss]

got mine today and the battery does not sit correctly in the cradle..I have to place a little weight on top of the battery to charge otherwise the charger just flashes..A little disapointed..
