I did see a couple of questions on here about the charger indicator but none of the answers seemed to answer the question. I just got this razor and had it plugged in for over 24 hours and the light is still red. The instructions doesn't go into detail about the light turning to green when it's fully charged. It did say that the light would go out when unplugged. So I guess i just wanted to confirm if the light is supposed to change when it's fully charged or does it in fact just stay red? I'm hoping someone from panasonic could give a definite answer. I did see a couple of questions on here about the charger indicator but none of the answers seemed to answer the question.

Mine was fully charged and the light was still on. There was no problem with it at all.

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.

Don't know that it is "acceptable" or not, but I seem to get 3-4 shaves before recharging. I now have 2, so 1 is always on a charger. My 1st one was dropped in water, so it didn't seem to hold a charge for very long. So, I used to use it while plugged in to the charger/outlet. I had to buy my 2nd one because my charger went out and stopped charging (replacement chargers are about $40.00, cheaper to buy a whole new razor)! Guess you could call/email manufacturer and ask them what the "charge/battery" life is, or should be?

No, it is a trickle charger (compared to a "smart" charger that automatically turns off) and will overcharge. Please read the instructions, which clearly state not to leave it charging for more than 8 hours. Only charge until the light turns green, then stop. They also state to recharge immediately after use, and every 30 days if not used, to keep it topped up. Apparently they don't want you to leave it in a discharged state.The battery seems to be the weak link in these rather crappy quality lights. I would do everything I can to follow the instructions and not do anything that might damage the battery or shorten its life...

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.

My experience has been that the red light stays solid while charging and turns to green once fully charged. I normally let mine charge overnight so I do not know how long it takes but it is always done by morning.

Dear Aya, That's normal. The new charger blinks instead of having the steady red. After the full charge you will see a steady green light. Please contact our customer service if you have more questions. all the best, Team Tendlite

From what I understand from reading the owners manual, that indication is the chargers way of telling you that the battery is very discharged and is only at about 25% of its capacity. The LEDs are supposed to blink, not light up solid, as the charger is charging. If there is nothing wrong with the battery, the charge level should start going up after a while and in a few hours, the LEDs should read at 100% (solid, not blinking, red, red, yellow, green LEDs). I hope this helps you Mary! Michael R

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 am never around when it reaches full charge, so I don't know if it blinks for awhile or not. When I get back to it after an hour or so, the green light is out and I assume it is then fully charged. For me, it runs for 7-10 days after being charged, and I shave once a day.

In the directions it says that the red charging light should go off after charging is complete. Unfortunately it doesn't. I let mine charge for over 8 hours and the light remained on. The red light only indicates that it's charging. It will hold charge. Haven't had any other problem with my unit.

Depends on usage, batteries in my flashlight get changed every two weeks, at light(no pun intended) use. The indicator light goes from amber to green to indicate charged, but if charger becomes unplugged the led stays green.

I'm not sure, similar to other chargers it has a red blinking light while charging and a solid red light when charged. I have assumed that when the solid red light is on it stops the charge mode and doesn't continuously keep feeding juice to the battery. I've left several batteries on the charger for a week or two before and when I grabbed the battery it was not warm at all and I've not had any problems with the batteries.

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.

I left mine charging overnight, just to be sure. Unbelievably, I haven't charged it again in weeks and its still going strong! I'd recharge it every few weeks or so to make sure you get a good sound. The red light is just to acknowledge that its connected and charging, if it comes on and is plugged in. It also makes a bloop sound when you press and hold the power button, to acknowledge that it is ready to be paired with your bluetooth device to play music. When you are ready to turn it off and disconnect bluetooth, you press and hold the power button for a few sec. and you will hear the sound again before it shuts off. That's how I preserve the battery. I've never heard distortion or feedback. Maybe its time to charge it if thats what you are getting.

When I got this newer Tria, I didn't think my charger was working either, but it was. When you first plug it in, the top will light up of a minute or so, then go out. It takes the Tria about 2 hours to charge. Once it charges, the light turns on again for a few seconds to let you know it is done charging, but then goes out again. After two hours, just unplug and use. Keeping it plugged in longer doesn't hurt the Tria either. I have been almost hair-free for almost 5+ years because I used the Tria. I recently bought this newer model in order to get the stragglers that I left behind with my first Tria. It didn't have enough pulses to completely finish the job. Tria is awesome!! Take care.

Hey dude... On the one I received, there is a small light on the bottom (or top) of the charger that shines red or green. It will be green until you place the battery on the charger, then red when you put the battery in, then back to green when it's done. Mine took about 1 hour or so.

There is only one light in this charger. When you plug it into the device, it will turn red and then it will change to green when charged. Check the side once you plug it in. Took me a couple of looks to make sure it was functioning - I did not think it had a light myself.
