Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)
Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
Wii U pad not charging
Anyone experience this?
We play on the weekends, so that means there are many days where the pad just sits in the cradle charging. Burning out the battery?
What gives here? Hopefully, it wasn't dropped and I'm unaware....
EDIT: apparently unplugging everything for a bit works and we are charging again. Still, do y'all constant charge when not playing? Does this shorten the battery's life?

You should be posting this on Nintendo's hardware issues forum. They have great customer service I think and support fot this stuff.

Any activity outside of that serves to reduce battery life, especially just leaving it on the charger all the time when it's fully charged. I went through some cordless phones way too quickly by doing that.

I'm not sure that's right. It depends on the type of rechargeable battery, doesn't it?

I was just guessing what White's problem was other than the obvious and likely user error

Flip over your pad and see if the places where the metal teeth from the cradle hit the pad are caked over. A piece of lint, a crumb, or some sort of goo, can end up there and stop it from charging. Also check the cradle and manually trigger the teeth to extend. You could possibly have broken one, or they could just be dirty.
Isopropyl alcohol, a qtip, and about 10 minutes, and you can probably fix this issue.

So this says you don't want a full discharge with li-ion, I think.
