Just got this battery in and started it charging. Why does this battery flash red when it is charging?

In my charger didnt do that... did it work at the drone? My drone flew almost a half an hour with it...

It goes from solid red in my 2.0 charger to blinking red. It didn't work in the AR.Drone after hours of the blinking status.

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?

could be a bad battery (even though it is new) or the transformer that suppose to charge it is bad. use a multi meter set to volts dc and put the red probe on the red terminal of the battery and the black one on the other terminal. see if it reads more than 12 volts. if not, the transformer that charges the battery is bad. if it shows 12 volts or more, than it is the battery. good luck.

On my charger (VP130 Duo-charger), the LEDs always goes solid red whenever a battery (regular or Gold) is plugged in. I have to remember to remove the battery(s) after one hour for a refresh or three hours for a maximum charge so that they don't get over-charged. I am not familiar with your charger.

From the small amount of information given you either have a short in the battery wire or the battery is being removed from the charger before the charge/discharge cycle is finished. In order to give a better answer you will need to furnish a step by step list... Like: 1.) I am charging a LIPO battery. 2.) I connect the charger to an A/C outlet and the screen responds by lighting up. 3.) I scroll by way of the menu to LIPO battery and etc..... This will give a better idea of what is going wrong and when the fault is happening... OK?

Check on the battery occassionally while it's charging. Some times if the battery is to old, it will overheat and melt itself to the charger. I had it happen. If it hasn't been charged in quite awhile, the hot pack signal will come on. I took the battery out and let it sit for awhile. Put in back in the charger the next day and it fully charged.

According to the label on the charger, alternating red/green flashing indicates that the battery is bad.

I had a similar thing happen. Take the battery out and reseat it in the charger. Also try using a pencil eraser on the battery contacts. You can also try just leaving it in the charger. NiCad batteries lose their charge after a while of no use. It may be that the charger is sensing zero charge in the battery. Put the battery in a tool and see if it has any charge remaining. It is difficult to distinguish between the quick flash and the charging flash.

When I have put two batteries into the charger that need charging, both light red. If I put one in that needs charging only that light comes up red. When they are finished charging the lights turn green. I've never had them flash.

Good question, i finally charge mine for the first time last night and fell asleep after. Woke up and its still red. Would be nice if it turns green.

The red light should go off when fully charged. If it doesn't you could have a defective battery that never reaches full charge. Try another battery before you conclude that it is a charger problem.

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.

The battery will blink green while charging. Once charging is complete it should turn to solid green. You can keep the battery plugged beyond charging; and the battery will not be damaged.

According to the manual on page 5 it says the red and green light blinking at the same time means it's balance charging. When the light goes solid green it is fully charged. Have you tried letting it go for a while and see if it goes solid green with no red?

You are not seating it in the charge properly and the unit has to be turned off when put in the charge. It will start off red and turn green when charged.

It flashes red to indicate that the batteries are charging. When they are fully charged, a green light appears.

OK Susie P., so you've used the battery until it is completely exhausted and now it won't recharge, correct? If you have checked to make sure there is power to the charger, the charger light should glow red when no battery is inserted, red while the battery is charging (a couple hours) then green when the battery is fully charged. If the charger glows red and you never get to a green light, then the battery is defective and should be returned for an exchange/refund.
