    Covert Blackhawk LTE - Low Battery Indicator issue

    I have a Blackhawk LTE version showing "Low Battery" and then shuts down. So here is what I have tried:

    1) My normal setup is with the amazon basics Ni-MH 1.2v 2400mAh rechargeable batteries with the covert solar panel. This was working for over a year but recently started to get "Low Battery" indicator and the camera shuts down. I pulled the batteries and recharged them in my recharger and put them back in and still got the "Low Battery" indicator followed by it shutting down.
    2) I replaced those batteries with rechargeable Energizer 2300mAh and I get the same issue.
    3) I unplugged the solar panel and replaced those batteries with regular Energizer Max batteries and same issue.
    4) I cleaned the connectors with white vinegar and made sure the surface contacts on the connectors were cleaned and get the same issue no matter the setup 1-3 as stated before.

    I was able to get the camera to boot long enough to do a firmware update yesterday, but then it got the "Low Battery" indicator and shut off again.

    Has anyone else seen this and did you find a fix or are there any other suggestions I can try?

    I had the same thing happen. Tried every fix they told me to do. Including changing out the SD card and an update. Finally sent it in for repair and received a new one back.

        For sure sounds like a hardware issue.

          I sent it back to Covert so they can do some testing. They said they think they can fix it so we will see.

            Looks like Covert couldn't fix it, I just got a new one in the mail.
