I had the same problem with one of the two DC50 that i purchased last winter. It happened about the third time i used it. It would not shut off no matter what. I ended up disassembling the back of it (using a #1 phillips screwdriver), then disconnected the battery very carefully. I waited a few seconds, then plugged it back up and reassembled it. It has happened 2 or 3 more times since then, and i have yet to figure out why. I have also had charging problems with this same unit...where some nights it just stops charging mid-stream. Again, not sure why. I intend on calling Garmin, but have not done so yet. I had the same problem with one of the two DC50 that i purchased last winter. It happened about the third time i used it.

It sounds like an internal problem. My friend had one that developed a broken wire at it's connection. Garmin replaced it. No problems with mine or his since he received the replacement.

My red light eventually goes off. I have not had any issues. I typically charge the battery for a couple hours - less may work. Not sure.

I have had mine a couple of months now, and the red charge light stays on all the time. Before you send theses back, consider plugging into another outlet in your house. Good Luck:))

I have the exactly the same question. The charging light of mine stays red after an overnight charging. That contradicts to what the manual said: "orange while charging, green when it is fully charged". It looks like it is a common problem so that mine is not defective, then I do not need to return it.

There's a light that goes on when it's plugged in and charging, and it turns off when it's fully charged.

The red light is permanently lit when charging, unblinking. When the battery is fully charged, the light turns green

It does stay lit while charging with a red light. A blue light blinks when it comes on, but it doesn't stay lit.

When you plug it in, a red light comes on. When the light comes off it's charged.

From what I have seen of mine, the red charging LED dims and then brightens with the intensity of the light on it (even from a lamp!). I've never seen it stop except when fully charged.

If I remember correctly, the red light indicates it is charging, and when it's fully charged, the light turns off. I don't remember a green light.

The charger has a blinking red light when it's charging and it's green when it's fully charged

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!!

It doesn't seem normal. Mine will stay a solid red and then turn off once it is charged.

Perhaps the charger isn' ' t working - this seems to be a problem. I have had some problems with this red lightNot staying on enough, at least to my satisfaction. Never let the mower sit for a year without charging
