Smells like bad contacts between the battery and the PiJuice. If it is a PiJuice HAT with BP7X, have you removed the plastic piece between the battery and the connector? Maybe some bits were left behind.
I did remove the plastic piece; but it came out fairly easy; maybe the battery is not seated properly. I'll check when I get home today
It might be worth updating the software to v1.6 and the firmware to v1.4 as well and seeing if this improves things
I've just added PiJuice to my Raspberry PI 3B+ and noticed that the Battery Status on the Setting screen is constantly changing. It will change about every 3-5 seconds going from a state of, say 98% - Charging from 5V... to 0% NOT Present then back to CHARGING; but at a different charge level, say 82%. This usually cycles constantly. Every now and then it seems to get into a steady state of CHARGING. As I type this its been in a steady state @ 80% - CHARGING for about 5 minutes.
Any Thoughts?
