How do you get this charger to work? Where do you place the battery right, left, or middle? Just returned from Europe but charger did not work.

The way I had to do it was look at the battery terminal, one is + one is - and the other is a T. I don't have it in front of me but I aligned the terminals on the battery to the pins on the charger. I think the battery was always flipped over with it's back showing. It did charge a couple times. We just came back from Hawaii. I thought maybe it was the cruise ship's wiring, but at home it did the same thing, would not charge no matter what i did or what battery I used.

Insert the battery with the two contacts that are close together to the left of the center of the charger. There will be a small gap on the right. On the batteries that I received, that meant putting the battery in with the identifying label face down.If you look closely, you'll see that the third contact on the right hand side of the charger does not touch any of the contacts on the battery; it fits into a tiny notch on one side of the battery.

I thought I had figured it out. My wife went to Peru and tried to use it. The charger is a joke and a piece of crap. The batteries are ok but the charger is a dumpster filler. She had to use the camera to charge the batteries and that was a big hassle.

Unplug charger, then plug it back in and try to charge it now....don't know why, but that seems to work for me....certainly no the way it should be.

you put the negative end on the lower connector on the charger, line it up with the positive connector and push down gently. The battery doesnt lay down totally flat but it will make the connection you need to charge it

This has never happened to me and I have 5 of these chargers. They are not very well made but they worked for me. What kind of battery were you charging on it and did you set it to the right cell setting when you charged said battery?

Issue is in my region the unit does not ship with a charger. The device must have a current limit to prevent damage. Any suggestion what that limit is or what is the rating of the charger supplied in your region?

Not sure where you are having the problem, so I will explain the whole process. Plug the charger into the wall outlet, the battery will only slide into the charger in one position. Look down into the charger and you will see 2 metal terminals, the battery has the same type of terminals. Align the 2 metal terminals on the battery with the 2 metal terminals down in the charger and slide the battery down into the charger. A light will come on , on the charger when the battery is inserted. Hope this helps.

I suggest you contact Amazon or the seller for return instructions. I have had mine since may and have not had any problems. I do no if you leave your laptop plug in alot and leave the battery in it you will over charge the battery and ruin it. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

i think you should start with trying another charger. since its a micro-usb port it shouldnt be too much of a problem finding one. you should also try different sockets... the electrical output may differ a little bit. if the problem still persists, i assume its the battery. try discharging it and (however) charge it again up to 100%. your next option would be buying another battery... good luck!

Hello, if I understand you correctly, the output voltage is less than what is required? Maybe a defective battery.. Although, dual voltage rechargeable, 220\50htz, may be the problem. The same with 110/60htz as well. So, it could be the charger. I have had zero issues with mine. Check the component that your using them on too... Hope this helps.

Before you do anything, make sure you align the battery up with the charger. If you look along the sides of the battery pack you will see to ridges or slots that align up with the protrusions inside the charger. This allows a proper alignment. You probably already did this, but give it another try. Also try it without the radio. Use just the battery. You don't need the radio to charge the battery. It may be easier for you to try the alignment that way. If all this fails, Purchase another charger. Go to 409shop.com, radioditty.com , or even amazon.com to search for the proper charger for your radio. Not to worry, there very cheap. Good luck!!!

How long did you charge it for? Did you use a standard wall charger that came with the package? I would recommend buying a new battery from a trusted seller and a smart charger and it will solve any issues now and in the future.

To make it a little more clear - holding charger upright with the battery and label facing you so you can read it - push the battery hard to the right and pull up on the left side like the others said. Too bad the giant arrow telling you which way to push is UNDER the battery when it is stuck. Couple of tries and you will quickly get the hang of it!

Well, when I tried to charge my battery, it immediately stopped. The red light on the charger went off after two seconds. So, I just used my old charger. The old one worked fine, the red light stayed on until the battery was charged.

As far as I know, since the charger is a USB plug, if Europe has transformers that would convert to standard (assuming USB power is standardized world wide) it should work from the transformer (like ones used to charge your phone). Alternatively, standardized USB port on the computer should charge it too.

I assumed the exact thing - battery didn't seem to fit. The battery is smaller then the inset in the charger. Just match the positive Battery terminal to the positive sign on the charger (extreme right looking at it) and it snaps in medium tight -and does charge.

The metal contacts on the battery should contact the metal contacts in the top of the charger. They are spring loaded. Put the battery in at the top and then push up and put the bottom of the battery in. I plug it in with the light on the bottom of the unit so I can plug it into the bottom half of an outlet and then can still plug something else in the top half of the outlet. The second half of your question didn't come through. Hope that helps.

The battery charger plugs right into the outlet. If yours are different you may need an adapter. Sorry, I can't be of more help.
