so with nothing else plugged in except a micro usb soldered to the usb/ground the low battery light stays on?  
i have tried different micro usb connector, i have tried different mains adapters all have the red low battery light as soon as its plugged in.  
i have even removed the micro usb and plugged it in directly to the powerboost and still have a red light?  
am i doing something obvioulsy stupid or is it broke?  
any help would be great.
