This version can charge the internal lipo battery via the USB. There is a led indicator that turns off when the charging is done, but it might flicker.On some models there are 4 leds below the knob that represent the state of the battery charge 25%,50%,75%,100%.When charging one will flash dependant on the current charge state of the battery.

## Battery life
An internal battery between 1000 and 2000 mAh should last a couple of hours of use, depending for how long you are transmitting. The standby consumption is [very low](https://github.com/eried/Research/blob/master/HackRF/PortaPack/h2_standby_consumption.jpg), around 52 µA, so you do not need to worry to remove/disconnect the battery in normal circumstances.
