Unable to charge while CF2 is off and Green LED issues

Shouldn't I be able to charge the CF2 by USB when it's powered off? Also, reading the intro manual, shouldn't the green LED flash when it's charging? Right now the blue LED flashes when it's charging.

Here is a copy of the log file from the connection:

As far as I know, the CF2 is only charged, when it's powered on (@bitcraze team, please correct me if I'm wrong!).
Blue LED flashing while charging is correct (see https://wiki.bitcraze.io/projects:crazy ... uide:index).
