is the red light supposed to flash

I'm not fully familiar with this specific charger, more the batteries. Typically with li-ion and other battery chargers the following will happen: Solid red light, the battery is charging, and when solid green will be finished charging. Red light flashing fast, bad battery or connection to charger, slow red flash, charging.

Mr. Huffine's response is correct..............solid red until charged. Charging may take as long as 48 hrs.

I just plugged my charger in with two batteries. Light is solid red. Will turn to green when charged

From all I can tell, he red light is supposed to be solid when charging. If flashing, it could indicate a charging error (bad/defective battery), or a faulty charger. I would suspect the battery first. Good luck.

No!! It's possible that you might have a bad battery. Because the rate and cost just order more:). Good luck!!!

Yes the light flashes when there's a low battery. I have yet to see this but that is what one of the key points is on the box.

Dear Alison, If you go back and re-read the little instruction folder, it describes how the red light functions, and gives a warning that some of the bulbs won't be in the human visual spectrum, but will be functioning anyway if the other lights are functioning normally. Still looks funny, doesn't it?

Are you saying that the red ligth next to the cable only lights with the first flash abNd then nothing? If you put your flash in manual mode 1/1 power, do you have a recycling time under 1 sec?, if so, then you are ok.

Yes, you should see the red light when you press a button. It took me a bit of tinkering with it, I had the same issue. It's pretty cheap, I just kept messing with it. Remove batteries put em back in, slap it around a little. I also could only get it to work in just one of my USB ports. Sorry couldn't be more help.

Don't know what you mean by "red light blinks". Mine was done with two prong and works fine. I do recall there were some boo boos in the wiring diagram, I had to fudge things a bit to get mine to work (I do not remember by now what I did different).

Yes there is a red light that comes on when the plug is plugged into a live outlet.

The one on mine is red. Lights up when it is plugged in and flashes with activity. If your USB ports are upside down you can't see the light.

It would seem the red light would be on when the lights are on. But, mine as yours, the red is in stand by or off and green when lights are turned on.

I'm pretty sure it's not, mine started off red, then went green when charged. After 2 weeks of use it blinked red then stopped working altogether, I'm pretty sure one of the inner connections is loose/broken.

I don't think so, the light is not very bright but is adequate, although the "red" light is brighter.

The infra red lights at the top light up , but it does not make a flash. All they do is come on for a split second. It will catch your eye.

It flashes even with the lamp off. I always assumed it just showed the lamp was powered and good to go. I know it is solid red when charging and turns green when charged. I personally use my head lamp when I work in dark spots not for rock climbing or biking.

Yes, It has to be flashing red until it gets green solid then is charged.The first couple of times you charge it it won't last to long, so you need to use it to drain and charge it again and again. Every time will last longer.

Mine must be newer. After fiddling with it for a while, I discovered that the red light is the reset button, and you have to push it with a pen or something and hold it down for a few seconds until it starts to flash then release it.

The red light means it is charging. It changes to blue (I think, or green) when it's fully charged.
