I bought mine new from B&H Photo in February 2024. It never would charge and the purpose I bought it for did not happen due to other circumstances. So it has been sitting on the shelf ever since. A few days ago, I made another attempt at charging the battery and just like before, it will not take a charge. I love the idea of what this can do, the potential it has. And I've happily used many Godox products over the years - camera strobes, LST boxes, and a pair of AD300pros. I could really use a light source like this WL8P. But I'm hesitant to purchase another (especially now that the price doubled from the $79 I paid) after this experience. Is there a known issue with the battery in these? Is there some other problem? Is mine just a bad unit that shouldn't have passed quality control? I recognize that happens.
(Resolved battery still works) My battery went out and I cant get it to charge. The charging icon shows up and then doesn't charge, how do I fix or am I out $130?
