What does the pulsing red light 'bad battery" mean? Just a discharged or truly bad battery that won't accept / hold a charge?

A pulsating red light indicates the battery can no longer be charged. After a while, even rechargeable batteries will expire and no longer recharge.

Yes, that is what the instruction manual said, but I haven't personally ran into that problem just yet, sure it will happen one of these days

My red light went off after 3 min. of charging. I can't tell if it's charged or not...

The light on top was alternating red/green. I thought it might mean the batteries, but I checked & they are fully charged.Now, I can't get it to work at all, no lights, no pump, nothing...yes, the batteries are installed correctly. Any ideas?

The light is red when charging. But if it doesn't hold the charge perhaps it would be best to email the seller with this question.

With mine, all the green lights are on when it's fully charged, but now always. I have no idea what the red light means. It may be just for show. I wouldn't buy another one of these, though. It works 95% of the time. Sometimes I pull the battery off after a few hours, and it hasn't charged. It didn't come with any type of documentation.

It means the device's charge is low. Plug it into a charger. It chargers very fast. When the red light turns blue, it is fully 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

Not sure but sounds like you have a shorted switch, I would email Streemlight and get it sent off for testing and repair, constant full discharge might ruin new battery.

It could be a bad battery. If it is a bad battery, you can call customer support, and they will send you a new one. They were very pleasant when I spoke with them about a battery issue not holding a charge. At the time, the customer service person told me that new batteries should be charged for at least 24 hours in order to keep a full charge. He also told me if the battery didn't work, that they would send me a new one.

i belive, you did everything correctly. It is something worng to the battery. Try to recharge again, just charge it whole night and try again. If problem is not resolved, just send it back, if its possible

Is it possible the battery is not charged? The instructions suggest it is necessaryto discharge fully then recharge. It may be it came discharged, and must be on charge to be recognized, I bought an inexpensive battery and it lasted aboutthree days, then began indicating it should be replaced. The only other possibilitywould be an incorrect battery?Best regards,Sammy

Make sure the "on" switch is OFF when you plug it in to charge it, the red light will come ON if its charging. It wont charge if the switch is still "on", like I've done a couple times when I let it run out of power while I was watching it. I forgot to turn it "Off" and it didnt charge when I plugged it in to charge. If that doesnt work, then maybe your battery is defective and you could send it back if its under warrenty still.

It's bad charger or battery. I had that happen too. I returned to the company I got it from on amazon. They sent me a new one that works good

I think red light means there is not enough charge in the battery. I have not used my converter for a few months but I think a green light will show when charge is Adequate.

Maybe it is defective--a dead battery inside (which is not consumer-replaceable.)
