I experienced the same clicking accompanied by one of the LED lights alternating red and green. I kept a cautious eye on the unit as it charged, and the clicking decreased over time until the unit was fully charged and there was no more clicking. Apparently there is no significant danger associated with the clicking since the unit displayed no adverse behavior. A note regarding jump-starting: The owners manual (available as PDF download online) specifies that the unit is best for jump-starting smaller cars like 4 cylinder cars. If you own a car with 6 or more cylinders, perhaps another unit will fit your needs better. I experienced the same clicking accompanied by one of the LED lights alternating red and green.

I hear a clicking buzzing sound when charging and the charging light flickers red/green. I seems that I cannot return this item due to hazardous materials. I would not buy this item again.

I called Duracell directly and found out the the item I purchased was defective. I called the company I made purchase from and explained what Duracell said. I returned the item and was given a full refund. You may want to contact the company that you purchased item from or call Duracell directly. They were great and reassured me they would help me if the company that sold me the product didn't give me a refund. My purchase was new and first time charging. Good Luck!

I just bought it yesterday and this happened after the first time I used it. I can't turn it off unless I plug it in. I was just checking Amazon to see if this was a typical issue. I'll call Wahl today to see if I can get a replacement since I don't know about refunds after using it.

I've found that the Power Rocks charger loses it's charge if not used within a short time of the actual recharge. You may have to push the white end (this is also how you tell if the Power Rocks is charged) to turn it on. I've been using mine for a few weeks - once I figured out which cable and which end to connect with what, I LOVE it. I did have to purchase an add'l outlet plug so that I can re-charge my device at this same time I recharge my Power Rocks. It was challenging at first, and I thought it wasn't working, so don't give up too soon!

Thank you! That was definitely part of my problem. One last question: when opening, I hear a pleasant ratcheting sound, which I don't hear when closing. Does yours not make that sound

Sounds faulty to me. It has been a while since I bought my replacement battery and cannot recall if I had to charge it prior to use. All I know is that mine works great. Never have had a problem.

I have had the product for several years now & I have never heard clicking sound coming from it. Sounds like there might be something wrong with it. It's never given me any problems other than having to change batteries from time to time.

I purchased it on line a couple of years ago. I used it once, when the battery went dead I put it on the charger but it didn't charge or the charger is bad. It hasn't worked to this day. Does anybody know what is wrong with it! Please let me know.

I had this happen to me also. I had a completely dead battery in my car when I attached the charger. I turned the key on and tried the headlights after charging for only a few minutes to check if anything was happening. The charger started clicking and cycling on and off. The noise stopped after a few minutes and it continued to charge fine after that. I believe the cycling is an overload protection. If you experience this try charging the battery while it is disconnected.

Yes, its common! I got that same exact trimmer and it makes that clicking noise when you turn it on. I actually think it sounds cool!!

Hello, Mine does it too. It clicks along for days on end. The battery seems to charge. If you find out what it is let me know.

I had my mint replaced due to an annoying tune it plays continuously while charging. I called the company and they sent me a refurbished mint. Recently the refurbished mint also started playing this annoying tune continuously while charging. I took it off the charging crade and connected the charger directly to the mint itself. This seemed to help a little because the sound stopped for couple of days but returned again. I will call the company again and try to return the mint. It is definitely a big issue for me.

I agree with 2ownlife's answer. My Soundlink 2,unit made that blip noise from day 1 right out of the box when I plugged it in with the OEM charger. I wouldn't worry about it as I believe it is normal operation.

Sorry, I just saw this message. Everything seems to work fine, EXCEPT, there is a clicking noise that is constant while you are talking and extremely annoying. However, I do not know if it is the phone I also bought or the Basic Talk. Hope this helps.

I believe the first time I charged it a couple of hours and the charge lasted an insane amount of time. It was odd. This is a great product for the money but there's no indicator that tells me when it's time to charge. I use mine when I run and when it starts cutting out a lot, that's when I know when to charge it. I use it with an iPhone.

I do not know but I had the same issue at first. I think it may be not charged enough or not charging. For the first several days it beeped. I kept plugging and unplugging from wall. Also, kept connecting and disconnecting the battery to housing. Finally after enough playing and enough days, it started working for me. Either I got lucky or it has something to do with being charged.

What we figured out was the machine itself had lost it's charge (needed to be recharged) and as soon as we plugged it back in to the house electric to recharge the noise quit. Can be right piercing, can't it? That was the only thing we could find doing it. Hope that helps. Just set a day of the month to recharge it automatically......keeps it from squealing in the car when ya climb in or we keep it in the house as well....so making noise in the house as well. JWA

OK, Lisa, the unit I purchased has worked perfectly and I haven't had any issues. I set it up for charging and it charges fine . I can't honestly say I have any complaints. Not to seem unimaginative but if beleive the unit is defective then I'd contact Amazon customer service. There are also written instructions with the unit. I hope this has been helpful.
