Had battery in charger over night but the green light has not gone out. Is the charger defective

I don't think it is. I charged my battery using the charger that comes with it and the green light stayed on even after 5 hours. I then plugged that battery in to my other charger and it showed that it was fully charged. The drawing on the charger does look like the light should go out but it appears it doesn't.

I would not necessarily say so. Put the battery in the blower and use it. If you get 15 minutes or more of use I would say that everything is OK. I have seen this happen with my charger and everything is OK.

First is the battery new or relative new? If the battery is older it could not be taking a charge, the green light will stay on until the battery is charged. Second, if the battery is relative new and the charger has been on it for 12-24 hours and still green then the charger most likely is defective. You will have a better idea than I because of the age of both the charger and the battery. Note: The chargers do go bad after just a few years and you will get the results you explained. Will be glad to help more if you wish to give more information due to age of each item. Of course it would be an opinion but an educated one, I am a certified electrician. Maybe this will help..... either one is bad news because you can purchase the whole unit as inexpensive as you can purchase a Charger or Battery!

When attached to a fully charged battery and a wall outlet, a green light on the charger should turn on and stay on steadily. But can't tell from here whether it's defective. Other possibilities include that the wall outlet is dead, or that the connection to the battery isn't complete. For example, using the cigarette lighter adapter, I often have to try several times, pushing and twisting, before that method of connecting works.

Not exactly sure I just put rechargeable batteries on charger overnight and light was green next morning.

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

The charger light should be a solid red (on mine anyway) and then it will turn green when fully charged. It does take about eight hours to be fully charged so don't be alarm that it takes so long (not very convenient). Also, your charger light may glow green with the battery inserted even though the charger is NOT plugged into an outlet. Hope this helps.

About 2 months ago I purchased 18 of these units. When charging them all, I initially found that only 4 of the 18 green lights on the chargers came on and the rest remained off. However, I verified that although the green light was not on, the battery was still being charged as expected (the charger was working fine, but the Green LED just wasn't working). As time went on more green lights would come on, somewhat sporadically it seemed - but all the chargers were still charging. It's certainly inconvenient. As a result, I measure the voltage on each battery after charging to verify that it reached capacity. About 2 months ago I purchased 18 of these units.

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.

The battery was low in charge, and the charger is not very powerful. Mine charged with the indicator red for about that long when I first used it. I'd give it at least 10 hours to turn green unless the battery gets hot (in which case its bad and needs replacement).

i belive, you did everything correctly. It is something worng to the battery. Try to recharge again, just charge it whole night and try again. If problem is not resolved, just send it back, if its possible

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.

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.

First thing would be to determine if your charger is bad. Do you have an old battery that when you put the charger on it the light comes on? If it does come on, then the charger is probably ok. You could also, if you have one, take a volt meter and see if your charger is supplying a charge.

If the battery pack isn't powered up then the charger is shot. Start with a drained battery for this test, then test it out under a load after charging.Hope This helps.

In fact, at the time it starts to charge (with battery inside), it must be in red mode (the charger light), but when it is full charged, the same light changes to green. If it begins in green you have to check if the battery is in right position, I mean, the connectors have to contact ones to each others (charger - Battery). If not, please adjust them until they contact together. it can occurs frecuently. good luck.

The battery charger plugs into computer not the battery...???? maybe something is wrong with the charger...take the charger to a computer place and have them check if its putting out ,the charger might not be charging. If you have a voltmeter you can check the charger yourself or maybe the battery they sent you might be bad.

i purchased it for my father but I would guess its a weak battery indicator and currently charging if it doesn't go green after a while the battery might not be chargeable anymore or a faulty charging unit , or drill . Most chargers have the same red light indicator meaning.
