Your soldering station's charging speed appears very low. A progress from 15% to 60% within 13 hours indicates the battery could take roughly 29 hours to fully charge. That's significantly longer than usual for rechargeable equipment.
A number of reasons may be influencing your charging speed:
- Charger compatibility problems - Your soldering station does not necessarily use phone chargers optimally.
- Battery capacity vs. charger output - An oversized battery takes longer with a lower amperage charger.
- Charging circuit restrictions - The device itself may restrict charging current independent of charger.
- Battery condition or age - New batteries at times require a few cycles to attain full capacity.
Below are some realistic steps to speed up charging:
The charger made by the manufacturer is tailored specifically for your device. It offers the best combination of voltage and current.
Check your soldering station manual. See the suggested charging specifications. Compare these specifications with a suitable charger.
If your device can use it, try a 3A or more charger. Most contemporary devices are able to work with multiple charging rates.
Inspect the charging cable and port for damage or dirt. Clean them lightly with a soft brush or compressed air.
Charging the battery in high temperatures or cold temperatures reduces charging speed. Keep your device in room temperature while charging.
For unbroken work, buying a spare battery may be a good investment. Switch them whenever necessary.
If these actions fail, contact the manufacturer. The charging circuit or battery may need to be replaced. Most soldering stations will charge completely in 3-5 hours.
Keep in mind that good charging practices maximize battery life. Try not to discharge frequently to zero whenever possible. Unplug your tool when fully charged to avoid overheating.
