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.

Yes it is. My charger did the exact same thing after leaving it plugged in overnight for the first charge. After I unplugged it and then reconnected it the amber light immediately went out and the green one illuminated...

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

Yes, This is a good working charger, I also got a new Battery I don't think the light goes off when charged, just use the recomended time listed for your battery.

I plugged mine in for the recommended 8 hours, but the light remained red. As the directions were firm not to leave it plugged in longer, I unplugged it. Did anyone else's light change from red to green when charging it? It works great so far!

How long did you charge it? Sometimes it has to charge a while, even over night if it has been out a long time. Then it might make a red light first. LET GO and wait a few minutes and it may turn green. if these quirks don't fix, I don't know what else to suggest.

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

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?

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.

After a good usage the charge light should stay on for about 24 hrs. If yours is staying on longer I suspect there is something wrong. After it is done charging you should leave it plugged in. The charge light will come on every once in a while for a few seconds. As for the comment about running the battery all the way down I believe that applies to the old style carbon/zinc batteries. This should have a lithium ion battery which I believe does not need to be run down. Of course it never hurts to do so. Do not leave it uncharged for a prolonged period of time. READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL.

Make sure the "on" switch is OFF when you plug it in to charge it, the red light will come ON if its charging. It wont charge if the switch is still "on", like I've done a couple times when I let it run out of power while I was watching it. I forgot to turn it "Off" and it didnt charge when I plugged it in to charge. If that doesnt work, then maybe your battery is defective and you could send it back if its under warrenty still.

Hello! From what I could tell, the light is red when charging. Once charged, the red light goes off.

When mine was fully charged the light stopped flashing and stayed on. Regards

Thanks, I did call. But because I am charging Duracell I got no help. They will only help if I was using Rayovac batteries. I was told the dim light after is normal. So I'll just keep an eye on it when charging.

Sounds vaguely familiar. If you press the button, does the light turn on at all? Have you tried removing the batteries, waiting a few moments, then reinstalling the batteries? If it's the problem I think it is, I think it's the light's circuitry going into a protection mode. When you charge the light, do you plug the charger cable into power source, then plug the mini-USB plug into the light? Or do you connect the light to the cable first, then connect the cable to a power source? If the former, then I suggest switching to the latter to avoid the problem. I suspect it's an issue of the powered cable touching part of the light it shouldn't if you're not inserting it "cleanly" into the charging port, tripping a protection mode.

Never had that problem. Try to use the battery and see how long it will last then you'll know if the charger is working properly, and if the batteries are fully charged or not.
