    For existing install
    1) With the evohome powered on the dock/wall plate
    2) Remove face plate and remove batteries and wait until the battery symbol with an X appears top right (should appear after >5 seconds)
    3) Re-install batteries and face place
    4) Battery symbol should now show the charging flash
    5) Leave the unit on the charging cradle until the battery is fully charged and the symbol will disappear

    This should allow the evohome to fully analyse the battery status properly and engage the charging cycle and then once fully charged allow operation for 3-4 hours off mains power when required.
    Firstly thank-you for this suggestion...

    Do you have any idea of how long it should take to fully charge the batteries please? The controller has been showing the "charging" indication for over 8 hours now.

    Second question... somewhat Obessesive Complusive but I am contemplating replacing the batteries, can you recommend the best replacement?

    ally153 - I have bumped this old thread as it covers the battery charging problem that can affect the controller from time to time and gives the work around for those who are not familiar. I have never found any problem with the contact resistance, possibly because the batteries fit so tightly they are very, very difficult to remove (I have tried several brands but they are all a tight fit). Regularly letting the batteries run down helps but the controller gives irritating beeps soon after removing from the wall until the batteries finally run down.
