Hello, In my experience using 3rd-party batteries, I have observed approximately a 10% failure rate. You might have gotten a bad one. You should check the charger with another battery to make sure.

This was not my experience. Return it as DOA. Amazon should stand behind you.

Also make sure you have one that is a yellow to green mine is actually a flash to solid but is always yellow! If it is suppose to be green ask for an exchange I have been using mine for a couple years its great!

Sorry, I can't shed any light on the subject, Brian. After ordering the charger I discovered the problem was with my battery not the charger - I returned the charger I purchased through Amazon. My battery had run too low to be charged using any charger. I had to take it to a golf cart service store and they got it up and running for me. The charger I had was perfectly OK.

Mine has been charging for 6 hours and still red, not sure what to do...Only time I saw green light was when I first put the batteries on the charger while still unplugged. I thought this was odd.

Hey Mike, I just received mine a few days ago. I did charge it overnight, and when I woke up the next morning (and after 10 hours) the green light had gone off. Not sure why yours didn't.

Eventually after the battery is fully charged the light goes to a steady green. If the battery is defective, a red light will indicate that. This charger is a little more critical of the overall health of the battery. Some people have commented that the charger says to replace the battery were other chargers say it is fine. I have only had this happen to me one time and I believe the battery probably should have been replaced.

The answer is no you did not get a defective unit. The lights blink while charging, once charging is complete the blinking light stops. Once you have used the battery you will see that all of the lights blink as the battery recharges. Only having one light blink indicated that the battery was 3/4ths charged on the way to full charge. I hope that answered your question. Mark

Yes, it took a very long time to charge. It started yellow, then went to flashing red and I thought it wasn't going to work. But after several hours it charged and worked. Good luck.

Not sure myself which one is faulty.My battery light was flashing so I put in the spare battery that has been on the charger for a week and it was not charged-So dead battery(purchased new with the camera) or Charger also purchased new with Camera. I am leaning towards Charger/Battery

Here is a link that fully answers your question. http://www.batterychargers.com/Documents/0099001192WB-00.pdf Basically when the YELLOW LED flashes, the charger has aborted the charge as the battery may no longer be capable of taking a charge and must be replaced. That said, it is a good idea to reset the charger and try the charge again before replacing the battery. To reset the charger merely unplug the charger from the wall, wait a minute, then replug it back into the wall...If the light stays SOLID ON and yellow, then it is charging...it may take a while...if it faults out again and starts flashing yellow again, then replace the battery. GOOD LUCK. and I am most sorry for your the loss of you husband.

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

Same problem here! After I opened the box I charged the battery till the light turned green. Put the battery in the camera, put the film pack in, the black film cover came out (so I assume I put the film in right), turned the camera on but all the symbols are blinking and I'm not able to make a picture. After reading here I put the battery again in the charger and now the light turns orange!! But I just took it out because it was green?!?! Now I'm just gonna wait till it's green again and see if it will work. Does anyone have any others tips for me?XO

I put on a full charge initially, and I believe that is what the instructions say to do. When you place one in the charger, the LED on the charging will be red until the battery is fully charged, then it will turn green. Make sure battery is placed on charger correctly, or a dead battery will generate a green light immediately, even though it is dead. If that happens, just unplug, replace the battery correctly on charger, and plug it in again. Works perfectly for me. My batteries were both red and needed charging when I received them, even though they had enough charge to power camera up right out of the package.

I haven't been using it for a while, so I stuck the battery in the charger, the red and green light were both on. Meaning that it's charging. (neither light was blinking)

The battery charger completely quit working, so I charge it through the camera itself. I haven't replaced it and probably won't. But the batteries have proved to be fine. When the charger worked it had a small led that went from red to green, green meaning charged.

I've been using the battery for six months with no problems; I alternate it with the Canon battery. shortly after I got it, I received a message from the seller that they had reports that some customers were having trouble charging their batteries with the Canon OEM charger and offered to send me a new charger. I have not had the problem.

No i have been having problems with my battery also. In the manual it says that there is a small light that lights up when it is charging..i plugged it in accoarding to what the manual says and the light has never turned on. I charged the camera over night and it will only turn on it it is plugged into the charger....anyone have any advice on this?

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!
