Try turning the magnet around and charge the other side, same way you have it now just try it from the other side, maybe the charging mags are too far away, unless this is what they suggest, I have done it with those before but I had them much closer together, just enough room to slide the magnet being charged through without touching. Big thing is not let the magnet touch the charging magnets, can cause problems. Im not sure if alnico has a specific charging prefference like if they have a fixed north and south pole." I have tried charging it from both directions, from far and near, on a train, on a plane, in a moat, on a boat, even had green eggs and ham in the room. It has touched, though I have touched the neo's other magnets without a problem. What sort of problems would touching cause? Alnico 2,3,4 can be charged in either direction. There seems to be some debate as to whether this is true for Alnico 5.
