The same thing happened when I had mine. When I put the battery in my phone it only was at 80% and would never fully charger. That being said I returned it.

I had the exact same problem. I have no idea why this product has the rating it does. It's a piece of junk that stopped working in no time. Not only that, I checked EBay. They had it there for $14. What does that tell you?

Seems like you may have a problem, the lights on my charger have lit up every time I plug it in. There is a possibility the wall piece itself is bad though. Maybe try another USB charger an see if it works. Or put dead batteries in it leave it for roughly an hour an try them again to see if they have taken a charge.

From all I can tell, he red light is supposed to be solid when charging. If flashing, it could indicate a charging error (bad/defective battery), or a faulty charger. I would suspect the battery first. Good luck.

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!

Yes, the light is on, whenever it is charging - it just needs to be seated firmly on the charger. The light is on the charger.

I would conclude that the charger is defective. I used mine yesterday and the lights worked correctly.

My husband has had that issue before, keeps jiggling it and moving it until the light comes on. I don't know if it is charging without the light being on or not - but he does not trust that it is charging unless the light is on. Must be a weak connection to the charging light, but keep trying to get it to come on.

I left mine on charge for several days. The light never turned green. The light on the charger went out, and now nothing works. Evidently, at these prices they do not include technology to stop the charger from over charging the battery. I will be attempting to return mine forthwith.

OK Susie P., so you've used the battery until it is completely exhausted and now it won't recharge, correct? If you have checked to make sure there is power to the charger, the charger light should glow red when no battery is inserted, red while the battery is charging (a couple hours) then green when the battery is fully charged. If the charger glows red and you never get to a green light, then the battery is defective and should be returned for an exchange/refund.

I think you should return the charger. Mine works for 20 to 30 min after charge. I don't remember the light thing as I haven't used it since late summer.

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.

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.

I have had mine a couple of months now, and the red charge light stays on all the time. Before you send theses back, consider plugging into another outlet in your house. Good Luck:))

There is just the 2 red LEDs and 1 green one for the "charge level" indicators, correct? If so then seeing both red and the green LED come on when you push the test button does hint it is fully charged. If this is the first time you've charged it (where it can take 24 hours to charge), then I'd double check that it's full by pulling the plug on the charger and then push the test button again after 30 seconds. You should still get the 2 red LEDs, but probably not the green. If you have a volt-meter you can also check the battery voltage on the jumper cables, full is ~14V with the charger plugged in and without it plugged in it should drop to ~13V and hold there. If you suspect the battery being bad, then the way to test it is with a known load and see how low the voltage goes. For example, I plugged in a spot-light that pulls ~4 amps and a good battery had the voltage drop to 12.4V instantly and very slowly dropped the longer I had it on (like after a minute only dropped to 12.3V). A bad battery instantly dropped to 11.2V and within 30 seconds went down to 10.5V. That's how you can tell if it's really bad.

On my charger (VP130 Duo-charger), the LEDs always goes solid red whenever a battery (regular or Gold) is plugged in. I have to remember to remove the battery(s) after one hour for a refresh or three hours for a maximum charge so that they don't get over-charged. I am not familiar with your charger.
