- That switch has nothing to do with the contacts. It is simply
- a marker for the user so he/she can mark it as charged or
- discharged. This is helpful if you have multiple batteries
- in your bag and you wonder which ones are good...
-
- The reason why your batter worked again is probably because you inserted
- it again and it made contact this time. The batter latch has to be fully
- flush with the Duo case in order for it to work.
