I have a question about the functionality of the charger. Should the led go green when I put a battery in the charger?

Yes when the battery is fully charge the light will turn green. Well at least on my charger it does.

The only answer I can give is this. When I charge my batteries on it its red when they are charging and green when they are done.

Light on charger is red when charging, changes to green when done. Once green, don't let it overcharge too long.

Hi, the charger itself will change color (to green when charged). Great product!

Red light is on when the charger has power. The green light should only be on when a device is charging. If the green light is always on, there may be an issue. If you are using a device with an add on charging cover or one of those mats you slip in with the battery, then you might check that out. My charger came with a power supply that made a high pitched whine when charging so these don't have the best quality control.

Just insert the batteries into the charger OBSERVING PROPER POLARITY (battery + to charger +) and wait until the charger LED goes from red to yellow to green. When the charger LED is green, the battery is fully charged.

I haven't used my new Charger long enough to answer correctly, but it has a box at the bottom that tells you when the battery is full charged, it may turn green, but I cant verify that yet. sorry.

On mind there is a red LED that glows whenever it is connected to the charger. Unfortunately, the red LED never turns off or changes color to indicate it is fully charged. Does yours behave the same way?

I believe It will not harm the battery if it is left in charger all the time, because when Green Light on the charger is on it stops charging.

Can't tell if you have the same problem but a note to all owners: After using my mower I plugged in the charger but the charger light stayed green even though the battery was discharged. Contacted Customer Service, who said take it to a repair shop. THEN, I read, in very fine print, that the light is green if charged OR if disconnected. So, I jiggled the charger plug (at the mower) and the light changed to red. Problem solved.

Yes - when the battery is completely charged, the LED will stop blinking and be solid green. I have noticed it takes quite some time (hours) for this to happen, perhaps because of its different battery composition.

Mine does go from red to green but it takes a long while to do so. Batteries charge rapidly and then each addition step takes longer so sometimes it takes really long for the cut-off to "trip". Here is a suggested test: charge the battery overnight then unplug it but do not use it and let it cool down. Now plug it in again and after about 30 minutes, see if the battery is hot. If that is the case, you have a defective charger and should consider returning.

I just purchased the charger. But my battery when charged does indeed work with my led lights.

The LED on my charger is red when charging and turns green when the battery is fully charged.

There should be a little tiny light on the charger it is res when its charging and it turn green when it is done charging. It is so small so u really gotta look for it.

I have a problem, that might be related and I wanted to ask people as well. When I put the battery in the charger (I have two), most of the time, even though the battery is empty, the charger shows green light and does not charge. I have to put the battery in slightly elevated angle and push on it and then it will start charging. So maybe your batteries were not charged at first place. Also happens to me, that the batteries discharge if not in use for 2-3 days, so before use I always recharge.

The green light at the top by the word charge stays on green when it is done charging. So, if you don't have a light that comes on when you plug it in, your charger is not working right.

When the battery is fully charged the green led comes on, however it is not known to me how this charger differentiate from ni-cd to NMH batteries and they do have different voltage levels when charged. Most battery chargers have a switch that allows you to select the type you are charging, this one does not
