why does the charger's green light blink? The battery doesn't last very long. I can't do an average size lawn before it dies out

Not sure. I would guess that means the battery is not being fully recharged. That would explain the lack of battery life. You should be able to edge and trim an average size lawn without a problem.

Not sure, how old is your battery? THE WORKS people replaced my battery within a couple of months. They told me that they were having problems with the battery I received with my weed-eater and sent me a new one and I needed to return my old one. I have not had any problems since. I hope this helps...........

When it is fully charged the light turn into green and stops. I don't think there's any problem in living it more hours connected... I have forgotten it some times charging of r a day or more and nothing happened...

It needs a new batttery, or the charger is bad.Check the volt output on charger.

It blinks when it's charging and stops blinking when it's fully charged on mine.

The charger should blink when plugged in. We use our phone cord and plug to charge it. If it charges you turn it on by the button on front it should turn green. Personally have never had a problem with any of the ones we bought.

If it is available it probably costs more than a new complete lawn tool as probably a replacement battery would too. I suggest buying another but different Earthwise lawn tool and use the 18 volt charger that comes with it to replace the defective one. All of their tools need extra batteries otherwise a fifteen to thirty minute usage grows to two days in length when considering multiple charging times.

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!

The charger will flash red when the battery is mostly dead. As it's almost full it will flash green, however when the battery is fully charged the light will stay a solid green. Hope this helps.

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.

Yes, a blinking green light means it is charging. A rapid blink means the battery is bad. A green light means it is charged.

If it is the first time charging or the battery power is low or dead it will blink green for what seems like an eternity. Patience is required. You may or may not be able to type while it is charging. It depends on the power in the battery. Also, check to make sure the battery is intact. Mine was loose after the keyboard fell several times. I fixed it. If the battery is dead when you unplug after 12hrs or more you need a new gadget. Otherwise, the charging unit will power off when unplugged. Hope that helps

I charged mine last and the light wasn't showing green. I left it on longer and eventually the green light showed up. Mine was only a year old.

If you ran your copter for 5 minutes, the battery should definitely be low enough to need charging. So if there was never a green led while you had it plugged in for charging, then there is definitely something wrong with either the charger or the battery. I'm guessing it is the charger since you did get 5 minutes on the battery, but I could be wrong.

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.

I have one charger that works, one that is toast. When I plug-in the one that works (without a battery in it) the LED comes on green, but flashes red about every half-second or so. If your charger does that, your battery is probably bad. I had one bad battery, and 1 bad charger, and I was going crazy till I connected with someone who had working chargers and batteries so I could do some tests. Hope that helps.

Hi, the charge light doesn't turn green. When it's full charge, the red light will be off. Hope this explanation helps.
