Should the light be on when it is charging? This is our third plane we have had charging problems.

The helicopter should be turned off, so no lights there. If charging from the remote, the remote should be turned on, with a Green power light visible. While the copter is charging there is also a red light that turns on. Mine came with a Yellow USB charger as well, and that had an orange(ish) light when it was plugged in and charging. The USB no longer works so I have to charge from the remote now.

Hi, When the light is green its not charging any more, Battery is at 100%. its supposed to start discharging.

There's supposed to be a light that lights red when it's charging, but mine never worked. Yo uprobably have a defective product if it isn't lighting up.

On our unit the charging light only comes on when connected to the USB wire. When connected with the headphone connector have not seen the charging indicator come on.

Hello! From what I could tell, the light is red when charging. Once charged, the red light goes off.

the light should flash on and off while charging I am pretty sure. I did use a powered usb hub to charge mine.

When you connect the charger to the heli the light should go off. It will turn on again when the battery is fully charged.

That previous answer is correct - the charging light goes out when fully charged.

Um..... It should never be on unless charging. You did not charge it when you first got it did you? It comes charged. From then on it only takes a two hour charge. If overcharged and battery ruined the light will stay on.

If I charge it, there are four indicator lights that come on. If it's completely empty, none will go on, but as it charges, it should build up from none to four (four lights on means it's fully charged). You may want to wait a while and see if one comes on, if not then I'd say it doesn't work...

My light (green) stay's on when charging. It goes off when complete. Mine only blinks when the battery is low. It sounds as if your battery might be faulty.I never use tech support on anything. They usually know less about their products than we do!

If you charged the charger first, it seems abnormal. I test it just before, it supposed to get lightening.

It lights up when you charge it the light will turn of when done. It doesn't show how much it's charged.

I had the EXACT SAME experience and before i figured it out I thought it had died on me. I started the whole Amazon return process and then realized, like you said, that it needs to "charge" for a bit after plugged in. I have to say that it's kind of annoying but I love the light so much that i"m willing to look past that> Maybe it's a hint to me that I need to get my son a power strip so that he doesn't have to keep unplugging things to charge items. =) Hope this helps. ~ Nikki

I have never had an issue - just plug it in and charge. The only thing I can think is under the seat where the connectors are maybe they aren't connected right? Sorry I can't be of more help.

The red light should go off when fully charged. If it doesn't you could have a defective battery that never reaches full charge. Try another battery before you conclude that it is a charger problem.

Yes the lights are supposed to be on you may have a defective case and in therory it only is supposed to charge it back to 75% charge if dead so you probably just have a bad case
