I'm charging a small 12v battery in Normal mode. The 25 % charge level is the ONLY LED flashing , Is this normal or should it be solid?

that is normal, as the level of charge increases the other lights will light up and blink, my battery took several hrs to charge, when I woke up all of the lights were lit and it was at 100%

This is normal. It is like a fuel gauge. It goes up as the battery starts to get charged.

From what I understand from reading the owners manual, that indication is the chargers way of telling you that the battery is very discharged and is only at about 25% of its capacity. The LEDs are supposed to blink, not light up solid, as the charger is charging. If there is nothing wrong with the battery, the charge level should start going up after a while and in a few hours, the LEDs should read at 100% (solid, not blinking, red, red, yellow, green LEDs). I hope this helps you Mary! Michael R

Hi Mary, I'm on my computer now. Most likely since you have a 3500, your battery has a bad cell.

Yes ...It's normal if your battery is low and needs a charge. Just keep it on the charger and let it charge up. As the battery is getting more and more charge you will see the 25% go to 50%. Then 75 and so forth. keep it on charge until all the green lights are solid

Probably your battery is dead and cannot be charged. Usually, the 25% LED should be solid and jump to the 50% LED (flashing) and so on until all LEDs are solid, then the battery is fully charged.

It is normal. It means your battery is currently at less than 25% charge. As it charges, assuming it is a good battery, the 25% led will become solid and move onto 50% flashing and so on until the 100% led is solid. Then the battery is fully charged.

Yes, that is normal. This charger gives a deep slow charge that just takes time. It will bring a dead battery back to life if the battery does not have a dead cell. I recommend it as a good deep cycle charger.

Most always the manufacturer would insist on you charging the battery before initial use. This is even though some trace charge would be on the battery. The button and LEDs on this particular battery shown indicate charge level.

That indicates that it's charging. It will blink faster as it gets closer to fully charged. It will stay solid green once it reaches about 4.2 volts.

That's definitely not normal. You should have a full charge after a few hours if plugged into 120V wall outlet. Either bad LED's or it's not charging properly.

The light flashes as it is charging. It will stop flashing and have 3 solid lights when fully charged.

When you are charging the battery pack it blinks green while charging. The light will stay solid green when it is fully charged.

Hi Bennet,Sorry for late reply.If the battery is not charged fully, its light flash.But once it is charged fully, its light stop flashing.If you have any further questions, please let us know it.

Tony,I have not had this issue, after the 23 hours of charging, when you check the battery indicator lights, are all 3 lit. if they are, there is no issue. the battery is at full power. Otherwise run the battery until fully depleted then recharge. usually they take a few times to come up to full power. Hope this helps!

There is an indicator light that blinks while charging and is solid when fully charged, but it does not tell you when it is dying and needs to be charged... In my experience, it is good for one full charge at least.

No... I always let my charger get down to 5% or lower then charge it. When I put it in the charger its always pink, it only turns blue when the battery is fully charged. if it is blue at 25% then it is not fully secured in the charger.

Try moving it to the 6v selection. Providing the battery is charged, it should show in the yellow (60-70%) mark if it is good. If not, toss it.

It may be just very dim. I've noticed that the flashing LED is hardly illuminated in a lighted room. It's kind of ironic that the light is super bright but the charging LED Is very dim. Could be that you have a defective model if the power button doesn't light at all.

There is just the 2 red LEDs and 1 green one for the "charge level" indicators, correct? If so then seeing both red and the green LED come on when you push the test button does hint it is fully charged. If this is the first time you've charged it (where it can take 24 hours to charge), then I'd double check that it's full by pulling the plug on the charger and then push the test button again after 30 seconds. You should still get the 2 red LEDs, but probably not the green. If you have a volt-meter you can also check the battery voltage on the jumper cables, full is ~14V with the charger plugged in and without it plugged in it should drop to ~13V and hold there. If you suspect the battery being bad, then the way to test it is with a known load and see how low the voltage goes. For example, I plugged in a spot-light that pulls ~4 amps and a good battery had the voltage drop to 12.4V instantly and very slowly dropped the longer I had it on (like after a minute only dropped to 12.3V). A bad battery instantly dropped to 11.2V and within 30 seconds went down to 10.5V. That's how you can tell if it's really bad.

There r 5 blue LEDs. When all r solid and not blinking, it is fully charged.

I noticed that as well. My old one was heavy. New one light. So, probably a more updated "solid state" charger. Voltage output is a little higher than my old one.

You should see a battery shaped imagine on the left side that flashes to show that there is a battery in the slot and that it is charging...when it is completly charged the battery image will be full of black lines and it will have stopped flashing. Hope this is helpful.
