Fairphone 3 only shows red blinking LED, does not charge or start

How should I do that? There is no charger for the battery itself AFAIK

@AnotherElk

If you need a workaround to charge the battery, there are universal external battery chargers, in case of need I have this one for the Fairphone 3 battery (I just fetched some links to where it’s available currently, it might be available elsewhere, too, there’s a version with an LED indicator and a version with an LCD display) …

If you want to look up other chargers … The charging contacts have to be thin enough for the Fairphone 3 battery contacts, this is not a given with all universal chargers.

I know the Amazon links don’t have the chargers available currently, but the pictures there still better show what to look out for with the contacts.
