Ive been having alot of trouble with me GCP, and one of those is...batteries
Im using 3 x 2200 mAh 3.7V li ion batteries, all connected in series. I recieved them and the way they were wired was so that I had to have the switch turned on while charging. I wanted to remove this, but before I did, I decided to test it. It worked fine, the green light came on on the adapter, and the red light on the switch came on.
But the next day, the LED on the switch didnt turn on when it was switched on. I thought it was dead (the switch, not the batteries) but it was still needed to be turned on to charge the batteries. Then I noticed the battery was not charging anymore, but it was always in the state of being plugged in. I think it may be the switch, but i dont have a clue. Here are some pics of what im talking about.

As you can see on the 3rd pic, the red light is on on the adapter. This means the circuit is made on the battery. But a green light is supposed to turn on below it to show it is charging. This doesnt happen!!
It may be a short, as I did desolder some of the wires to try and remove the switch from the recharge circuit, which did not work.
Any help is appreciated.
Note: the battery currently has 0 AMPS, so I cant test it
