I'm sorry we haven't used it yet, the item we bought it for we haven't received the batteries for. Have you tried contacting the company directly?

If the red and green light come on together, it isn't charging. When it is charging, only the red light should come on along with the fan (which you can hear). I had problems getting my charger to work - sent it back and will order another since most reviews were positive.

Hey dude... On the one I received, there is a small light on the bottom (or top) of the charger that shines red or green. It will be green until you place the battery on the charger, then red when you put the battery in, then back to green when it's done. Mine took about 1 hour or so.

Some chargers change color from red to green (or green to red). Others just turn off the light altogether. If it has been charging a reasonable period of time, take out the battery and put it in your camera. Turn the camera on. If it's showing the "full battery" signal, then you know that your charger just turns off when it's finished.

Mine has a red light that comes on and stays on while charging. I will update when it's done charging to let you know what it does.OK, after charging the red light went off. At that point I disconnected from the charger and reconnected it, the light came on for a second and went right back off so it looks like you're fully charged. Hope this helps and enjoy!!

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.

the charger looked the same, the only difference was when it is charging the computer, the light is always blue. it does not change from red to green like my original charger did. I have had the charger for a few months and it has worked so far. hope this helps.

The light on the charger turns from red to green. I usually let the battery charge over night so that the next morning it is fully charged.

There's a LED indicator light on the battery charger. When it's charging, the LED light will be red. Once it's fully charged, the LED will turn green.

About 2 months ago I purchased 18 of these units. When charging them all, I initially found that only 4 of the 18 green lights on the chargers came on and the rest remained off. However, I verified that although the green light was not on, the battery was still being charged as expected (the charger was working fine, but the Green LED just wasn't working). As time went on more green lights would come on, somewhat sporadically it seemed - but all the chargers were still charging. It's certainly inconvenient. As a result, I measure the voltage on each battery after charging to verify that it reached capacity. About 2 months ago I purchased 18 of these units.

I have this charger (2nd one), the red light only appears when the battery is at its lowest charge and will begin flashing green as it charges up. When the green light stays on, you battery is fully charged.

The charger I got with mine had a little light on it that is red when it is charging and turns green when it is done charging.

I have a problem, that might be related and I wanted to ask people as well. When I put the battery in the charger (I have two), most of the time, even though the battery is empty, the charger shows green light and does not charge. I have to put the battery in slightly elevated angle and push on it and then it will start charging. So maybe your batteries were not charged at first place. Also happens to me, that the batteries discharge if not in use for 2-3 days, so before use I always recharge.

Mine doesn't appear to change colors. I let it charge over night and noticed in the morning there is no. the red light went out not replaced by a green. The charge seems to last a few days.

I'm pretty sure it changes to a green when charged... I have a couple of lights and seems as though all of them change to green-ish when charged.

It seems to turn red when charging however when I've gone on very short rides (only a few minutes) the light turns amber (yellow) when I plug in to charge. So I think it turns red for fast charging and then yellow when close to full and slow charging, then green when it's topped off. It's also green when charger is not connected to the battery.

A red light comes on when charging. When fully charged the light goes off. It doesn't change color.
