The indicator light seems to have a slight delay when all connected. It does not light when put into the power outlet alone. Be sure it is securely plugged into the cord that goes to the battery. Make sure that the cord is well connected to the battery as that connection is sometimes "stiff", but positive when it makes the connection. If, after all of this, the indicator light does not go on then suspect the charger or the battery. I would bet on the battery as there is not much to wear out on the charger. I had to buy them in this order when we were given our powerwheel. It has worked well for several months since then. The indicator light seems to have a slight delay when all connected.

The light should come on when you plug it into the battery. That's how mine works

If connected to battery charger or battery is bad. Should be a red light while charging .

You have to fully charge it via the USB cable before you use it. Once it's charged the indicator light will come on. If it doesn't. There may be something wrong with the charger

I think it is the ON position. On mine, if it is ON and I plug it in, the light goes off. And if I pull it out of the socket, simulating a power outage, the light comes on. If it is OFF/Charge position, you can pull it out of the socket and nothing happens. If it is in the night light/charge position, the night light is always on. The only think I am not sure of is if it getting charged when it is in the ON position and plugged in.Sorry, I noticed too late that geeker answered the same way.

If it is charged up, then hold the on button down until it lights. If it doesn't, it is likely faulty.

What you are experiencing is normal. The red light charge indicator lamp will glow and it will stay on until the plug is removed from the AC outlet.

Make sure the power is off. A red light will come on while charging. I used the USB plug on my desk top in order to charge.

Hi, I am having the same problem with mine. I am sure these are defective items that are being resold. I have to shut it down, power cord in, turn it back on and then manipulate the cord just so. Sometimes it takes a few tries. When if starts to charge, I leave if alone, because it will stop even if lightly tapped. The charge doesn't last very long though. Very disappointed. I should have returned it when I got it.

Mine has a charge light to the left of the power light. It lights up and then goes off on mine. It still charges it without the light on on mine.

The light is supposed to turn off when the battery is charged. If it only works when plugged in, that defeats the purpose. I'd contact the maker. Sounds like yours is defective. BTW, did some long workshops this summer. did recharge during the lunch breaks. The battery seems to last about 7.5 hours.

My red light went off after 3 min. of charging. I can't tell if it's charged or not...

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!

I have 2 Chargers. Each one will have a red light when charging. Perhaps you could find another person with a similar charger and try it. If your battery is a few years old, it's probably ready for retirement. Good luck.

I suggest that either the charger or the hurricane is mafunctioning .After I use mine , and I plug in the charger , it recharges in , no longer than 1 hour and the light goes green and there is enough power for =/- an hour or more .

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!!

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.

The charging light in mine actually didn't work, so I tried turn it. Since in had a battery in it I cound send it through the mail. I contacted AMAZON and they sent me a new. The new one works perfect....

I had the EXACT SAME experience and before i figured it out I thought it had died on me. I started the whole Amazon return process and then realized, like you said, that it needs to "charge" for a bit after plugged in. I have to say that it's kind of annoying but I love the light so much that i"m willing to look past that> Maybe it's a hint to me that I need to get my son a power strip so that he doesn't have to keep unplugging things to charge items. =) Hope this helps. ~ Nikki
