Graupner MZ 18 TX Charging Issue

The TX comes with a charging equipment - A charging lead + USB cable.
Per the manual - There will be a red light on the charging lead while the TX is getting charged. Once done it will be green.

My story
I connected the USB cable to my laptop on one end and charging lead on the other. The light was already green when i did that. I then connected the TX and the light went off. Kept the TX on charge overnight(just incase the indicators were faulty) but no results.

Everything i am using is stock. Anyone who has faced a similar issue or can help.

Re: Graupner MZ 18 TX Charging Issue

The usb port of a laptop can provide only 300ma but the graupner battery requires 700-800ma current to charge so try using a mobile charger with usb port(like nexus charger) or a power bank...which can deliver more current
