My EBL 840 Battery Charger has RED Indicator Lights and not the Blue as stated in the manual. Is this a problem?

Regarding blue light. My said the same but I never seen a blue light. When the red light goes off batteries are charged. Do not leave in charger they will be overcharged and may fail because of this. Hope this helps.

Mine has RED indicator lights also. I haven't used it often but it seems to work fine.

I am just a customer, like you, but the power indicator light on my receiver is not visible unless it is lit, then it appears right next to the charging port. Perhaps if you charge it you will see the red indicator light.

The charger has a blinking red light when it's charging and it's green when it's fully charged

If your batteries are a few years old (or have been over-charged routinely), they may have developed high internal resistance. When used in a photoflash unit, for example, they will give very slow refresh time since the terminal voltage is lower under load. But when you put them in a charger, the terminal voltage becomes higher due to charging current. So the EBL charger (which is not very smart) considers those batteries as fully charged, even through they are not. You should get some better quality rechargeable batteries (such as Panasonic eneloop) to use in your photoflash unit.

When I place battery in charger it is red. When charged it turns blue and battery comes out. Mine does not flash.

The red light means the battery is still charging. A blue light indicates a fully charged battery.

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

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

The indicator light does change to show that the battery is fully charged. I haven't used my charger in a couple months. So, I don't recall exactly what the light does. If memory serves me well, it actually blinks red when charging, and shows solid green when it is done charging.

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.

Mine is red when charging and turns green after it's full. I never saw a flash of red and green. When unplugged and I placed my battery in the charger green light comes on turns red when I plug it.

There is an led with blue charging, green being charged, red being almost dead. I'm sure the manual is online ;however, it comes with a smal paper manuel

I just plugged my charger in with two batteries. Light is solid red. Will turn to green when charged

i purchased it for my father but I would guess its a weak battery indicator and currently charging if it doesn't go green after a while the battery might not be chargeable anymore or a faulty charging unit , or drill . Most chargers have the same red light indicator meaning.

It should only be blue when it's plugged in with no battery. It should turn red/purple when it's charging and then red/blue when it's charged. I use more almost every day and mine works fine. Maybe contract anker about a replacement?

There should be two positive/negative contact markings on the battery. Make sure those line up with the contacts on the charger. The light should turn purple once an uncharged battery is put in correctly. When not charging a battery the light will be blue. Here's a picture: http://imgur.com/uYFAktx . It's upside down in that photo to accomodate my other plugs, but you can see how the battery is oriented.

just put battery in the desk top charger. Make sure it is in the slots at the back and watch the charging light it should change color
