π Why Does My Tire Inflator Still Show Charging After Being Fully Charged?
Applies to Models:
β Zephyr S3
β Zephyr S5
β Vortex S6
β Vortex S6E
β Vortex S7
π The Short Answer:
If your tire inflator still shows the charging icon or status after it's fully charged, don’t worry — this is completely normal behavior.
π§ Why It Happens:
When the Zephyr S3, S5, or Vortex S6/S6E/S7 is reconnected to a charger after reaching full charge, the screen may continue to show a "charging" status for about 3 to 5 minutes. This happens because:
1. Battery Voltage Monitoring
The device continuously monitors the battery voltage while connected to a charger. When plugged in, the battery voltage is slightly elevated, which may still be interpreted as "charging."
2. System Design
The internal program is designed to update the charging status gradually. This brief delay helps protect the battery and ensures accurate voltage detection.
β What You Should Do:
No action is required!
This is part of the system’s normal operation and does not affect battery health or performance.
The charging display will typically update automatically after a few minutes.
β οΈ Helpful Tip:
To maintain battery health:
-
Unplug the inflator after it’s fully charged
-
Avoid leaving it plugged in for extended periods unnecessarily
