DATA FROG S80 controller does anyone know any other way to check if its fully charged other then soild green led light? I had one or two fully charged then a two weeks later struggle to hold a charge rapidly need to be re charged. The switch battery estimate when I first charged then two weeks ago showed 2 3rd bar or full part yet they later fail and I have to charge then binking green again. Switch says full charge though and I only charge it from the switch dock Any ideas?

DATA Frog is known to be pretty cheap. It's possible your battery died. You can try contacting their customer care to see if they'll honor any warranty.

I still have the data frog sf2000 although cool it feels like a fisher price toy.

Probably it is normal for it to lose all it battery 2-3 weeks after a charge, even a switch pro controller can't last 2-3 week without charging sitting at idle.

If you did more than +400 charge cycles or left them to drain to zero very often, your battery might have gone bad.
Leaving a charged controller for weeks in a drawer should not fully drain its battery.
When batteries go
bad, they charge up real quick but also discharge very fast.
If you know the battery size and power of the charger, you should be able to calculate how long it would take you to go from empty to full. If you have a 1A 5v charger and a 3800mAh battery, it would take about 3~4 hours to charge ((3800/1000) / 1).
If it charges within 1 hour, then something is wrong with your battery.
