I charged mine last and the light wasn't showing green. I left it on longer and eventually the green light showed up. Mine was only a year old.

My charger does the same thing as long as the battery is still able to charge I wouldn't get a new one. I'm working on 8 yrs with the original battery in my mower.

Dear Aya,That's normal. The new charger blinks instead of having the steady red.After the full charge you will see a steady green light. Please contact our customer service if you have more questions.all the best,Team Tendlite

Can't tell if you have the same problem but a note to all owners: After using my mower I plugged in the charger but the charger light stayed green even though the battery was discharged. Contacted Customer Service, who said take it to a repair shop. THEN, I read, in very fine print, that the light is green if charged OR if disconnected. So, I jiggled the charger plug (at the mower) and the light changed to red. Problem solved.

From what you describe, I would say that replacing the battery may very well solve your problem. Check the little battery style icon in the upper right corner of the display. If it shows red or possibly only a single green block after you have had it on the charger, then your battery is likely weak or failing. If it indicates that your battery is fully charged by displaying all green blocks, you may then have some other problem. Either way, a new battery is relatively inexpensive and would be well worth a try to fix your problem.

When the light turns green, the charger has determined the battery is at the highest level charge without danger of excessive heating. It then switches back to a maintenance level and will stay at this level until charger is removed (or battery discharges). When the charger light turns green, the battery is ready to be used.

The LED light on my unit remains red until the battery is charged, at which time, it then turns green. I don't know how a new battery would solve the problem. Is the unit actually charging the battery? It may be the LED light on the charger that is the problem.

Mine is green all the time, unless I pull it out of the wall and use it. Then when I plug it back in, it's red for a time and then goes back to green. So I assume red is "charging" and green is "charged."

Mine has been charging for 6 hours and still red, not sure what to do...Only time I saw green light was when I first put the batteries on the charger while still unplugged. I thought this was odd.

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

i think is common sense, because once the battery is charging the battery stays orange-red, and when light turn green i think is fully charge. but the light never goes off from the charger. stays always green.

I haven't used my new Charger long enough to answer correctly, but it has a box at the bottom that tells you when the battery is full charged, it may turn green, but I cant verify that yet. sorry.

It's still charging the case. It means the case is mostly charged. Only when the light is green is the case fully charged. The red flashy light indicates the case has a low charge.

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?

There is a charging LED light on the charger that will be red when you first plug it into an outlet. It turns green when the battery is fully charged, about four hours or so. You should unplug it when it turns green and not leave it plugged in indefinitely.

yes. It's been awhile since i used the charger but you can tell when it is finished either by the lights going out or turning green -- i can't remember which happens but you will know.

When you plug it in with a dead battery, the light should be red., When it is done charging, the light will be green. If your charger does not do this, you have a bad charger. I had bought a lower priced model, and it did not work. So be sure to get a quality charger.

I've had two of these chargers for a couple of years. They flash green while charging and then become steady green when completely charged.
