I am curious, I have a MAKITA DC1414. What does it mean when the when the charger flashes red/green, new battery, or new charger.

According to the label on the charger, alternating red/green flashing indicates that the battery is bad.

it means go to Makitausa.com and ask them, if you notice this review was for the MAKDC1804

The charger flashes green all the time until you put a battery in it at which time it turns red while it is charging the battery. When the battery is charged, the light turns green (or FLASHES red) until you remove the battery, and the charger goes back to flashing green. If you put a battery in it and the charger light stays green, the battery is already charged. Bottom line is that when the light stays red while a battery is in it, the battery is STILL charging.

The only answer I can give is this. When I charge my batteries on it its red when they are charging and green when they are done.

when red and green flash alternating, it means "charging is not possible".Either the terminals are bad or most likely, the battery is bad, and won't take a charge.I overcharged a battery with another type charger and my new charger confirmed it. the new battery I bought with the charger works perfect.

I have this charger (2nd one), the red light only appears when the battery is at its lowest charge and will begin flashing green as it charges up. When the green light stays on, you battery is fully charged.

When I place battery in charger it is red. When charged it turns blue and battery comes out. Mine does not flash.

the red light is when the battery is too hot to be charged the battery must be cool down before being put on the charger then you should get a green blinking light and a solid green light when its fully charged and yes they do not last long in the trimmer I have four batteries myself and it goes through them quite quicklyso if you get in a red light remove the battery from the charger and let cool downI have even put mine in the refrigerator to help the processgood luck I hope this helps

This is the indicator light for a defective battery.This happened to me even with brand-new batteries. So I replaced the charger instead.

Check to be sure first of all that the charger is operating by looking for the red light when its plugged in. Please note: these batteries are rechargable. If the red light it is on then its possible the batteries are defective, The batteries are enclosed in the main section near the handle. Check with Radio Shack to purchase the same batteries, you may also need a soldering device due to the battery tabs are sometimes linked together.... It may be a better idea to replace the entire unit!

There could be one of two reasons for this.Usually it means that the battery is defective, or has become ineffective. Some batteries get to this point quicker than others.There is also a slight chance that the charger has gone bad

Probably not the answer you seek but my suggest is to call Home Depot or Lowes. Both stores would know if the correct charger for the battery as well as if this is right or wrong. All Dewalts that we have ever owned always blink red while charging and then stay green once fully charged. God Bless You with a fast solution.

My charger melted the battery I bought from Amazon. Ruined my drill, so don't buy from Amazon. But to answer your question I would say the battery is bad.

This just means that the charger is getting electricity. When you put the batteries in, it will turn red. When it turns green again it means that they are fully charged.

red means solar panel is charging....will blink when fully charged......green is power out but if yours is like both of mine it don't work....just connect your power out direct to battery and disconnect green....works for me....good luck

Charger light changes from red to green, IIRC. Don't have it with me right now. *Might* be printed on back of charger...

It means the battery is already charged. When the battery is charging, the light is red.

On my charger (VP130 Duo-charger), the LEDs always goes solid red whenever a battery (regular or Gold) is plugged in. I have to remember to remove the battery(s) after one hour for a refresh or three hours for a maximum charge so that they don't get over-charged. I am not familiar with your charger.

The light on the Wasabi charger turns red when charging and green when the charge is complete.
