Possible Causes

Drained RTC backup battery (if present), Firmware bug, Loss of network time sync, Faulty RTC circuit on main board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before opening the unit if internal inspection is needed.

Steps to troubleshoot:

  • Check time settings: Via the Blink interface, verify the date, time, and time zone are correct.
  • Network time: Ensure the charger has a stable network connection to sync time from servers.
  • Firmware update: Apply any firmware updates that address scheduling or RTC issues.

If the clock drifts significantly without power loss and after updates, the RTC hardware on the main control board may be faulty and require board replacement.
