From my perspective this one is junk. I would have to unplug it then plug it in again for it to figure out my battery needed a charge. If I didn't do that it was green. After unplug and replug it was red. Go figure. I ended up buying the EZ-Peak Charger TRAXXAS-2930, much faster and more reliable.

It takes about 35 minutes for a 1200mah battery on 1amp and the solid red indicator means charging and green means charge complete e

No battery charge indicator. Not even an indicator to let you know the charging is complete. All it has is a blinking led telling you it is charging, but it never stops blinking!

Maybe 2 hrs... theres a green/red light on charger that tells when its fully charged. Light is a great buy! Use it alot!

I put the batteries in the charger that has indicator lights. So when the light is green, the battery is fully charged. If you do not have a charger with indicator lights, you might want to invest in this: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=battery+tester I have a very inexpensive one of these that I use to test the loads of batteries I have in the house.

The light turns from RED to GREEN. I don't recall how long it took to charge them. It must have been a normal amount of time or I would have remembered.

Mine does go from red to green but it takes a long while to do so. Batteries charge rapidly and then each addition step takes longer so sometimes it takes really long for the cut-off to "trip". Here is a suggested test: charge the battery overnight then unplug it but do not use it and let it cool down. Now plug it in again and after about 30 minutes, see if the battery is hot. If that is the case, you have a defective charger and should consider returning.

when the red light on steadily on -indicates the charger is hooked up correctly and is chargingwhen the green light is flashing it means the battery is charged to 80% or greaterwhen the green light is a solid green (no flashing) the battery is fully charged and the microprocessor is monitoring the battery and will keep it fully chargedall this information is on page 7 of the instructions provided with the unit

Takes about 4 hrs. to charge; charge last about 20 minutes; suggest you have @ least 2 batteries.

The charger light should be a solid red (on mine anyway) and then it will turn green when fully charged. It does take about eight hours to be fully charged so don't be alarm that it takes so long (not very convenient). Also, your charger light may glow green with the battery inserted even though the charger is NOT plugged into an outlet. Hope this helps.

With the battery attached, it should either be red (not yet charged) or green (charged).Might be a defective charger? If you leave it plugged in long enough does the battery get charged?

My experience has been that the red light stays solid while charging and turns to green once fully charged. I normally let mine charge overnight so I do not know how long it takes but it is always done by morning.

There is an LED light. It's green when they are ready to provide charging, orange (hard to see it different than red) when the batteries are low, and red when the batteries don't have enough charge to charge something. It stops charging the batteries when they are full. The light also says when the batteries are done charging. It blinks when they are charging. What the light says is printed in the bottom of the unit.

I use mine only once a week, but according to the guide, it states that battery is fully charged when green light is on....approximately 8 - 10 hours to fully charge a discharged battery. Hope that helps!

You can charge until the green light on the charger comes on. A matter of a few hours. Good luck. An overnight charge will also do it with no problem.

No. The green light goes on once the battery is charged. Usually takes about an hour or so.

When the battery is almost exhausted the indicator turns red. As the battery charges, the light blinks green. When fully charged the light remains a steady green.

I have a Makita charger, the indicator light changes when battery is fully charged. It does take about an hour. I've heard that one should not leave batteries on charger for much longer thab an hour,
