When this guide applies

Exact FiiO BTR17. Battery charging stops near 80% while USB power remains present. This guide checks whether a documented protection setting explains that observation; it does not increase the charge limit.

Connection scope: Device controls / power only. Symptom: My device or case won’t charge.

This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.

If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.
