The light will blink green until the battery is fully charged, then it will glow solid green to indicate it is ready to use. It typically takes 1 - 2 hours to charge completely.

The correct answer may depend on the charger you are using. I bought the Black & Decker L2AFCBST Lithium Ion Fast Charger with Flash Charge. When the green light is blinking the unit is fast charging the battery. When the green light is on but not blinking it is maintaining the charge on the battery. Of course when there is no battery in the charging unit the light is off. With this fast charger, I have never seen the blinking continue more than 3 to 5 minutes. I have a flashlight, a drill and a chain saw which I use the batteries on. This B-D 20v system is excellent in my opinion. Hope they come out with more tools that use them.

The battery will blink green while charging. Once charging is complete it should turn to solid green. You can keep the battery plugged beyond charging; and the battery will not be damaged.

Probably around six or so hours. If the battery is not fully discharged it could be less. Will stop blinking when charged. It does not hurt to leave it it the charger like older batteries. If the battery is hot when put into the charger a red light will come on. Will not start charging until the battery cools some

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

The blinking green light indicates the battery is charging. When fully charged, the green light turns solid. The length of time the blinking green continues depends on how discharged the battery is. Usually turns solid green within an hour or two.

usually i plug it in and the green light comes up and i can see the battery symbols for the respective slots i put the battery in flash with an indication. if the batteries show up already full, the batteries might either be fully charged or no good.

The answer is no you did not get a defective unit. The lights blink while charging, once charging is complete the blinking light stops. Once you have used the battery you will see that all of the lights blink as the battery recharges. Only having one light blink indicated that the battery was 3/4ths charged on the way to full charge. I hope that answered your question. Mark

When you plug in the battery the little green light will come on to let you know it's charging. When that light has turned off then the battery is fully charged and you can put a new one in.

There are indicator lights. You need two batteries in sequence (at least) in the charger to start charging. You'll get a green indicator light when they are inserted indicating that the batteries are charging. Once they are charged the light turns off.

When mine blinks it is charging. when it stops blinking it is fully charged.

You'll get the light when you plug it in. If you have no other light like the mode or a temperature number in the LED box, then press the on / off button. Even though the light is blinking doesn't mean the unit is on. When it's on, you'll get the mode light and a number in the LED box and the green light will still blink. If none of this works, box it up and send it back.

Can't say I have closely watched the time to recharge. Generally plug in battery and leave it while I do other things. When charging, once you get the solid green light, you should be done. When battery affixed to the light, you should see three green lights. As charge depletes, lights progressively diminish. Once down to a single light, your battery might stop quite abruptly from my experience.

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.

It turns red when the batter is dead. The green light will blink while it's charging. Once the battery is fully charged the green light will stay lit.

My light (green) stay's on when charging. It goes off when complete. Mine only blinks when the battery is low. It sounds as if your battery might be faulty.I never use tech support on anything. They usually know less about their products than we do!

Hi, When the light is green its not charging any more, Battery is at 100%. its supposed to start discharging.

I always run the battery almost completely out before I recharge and it takes about 12 to 15 hours to charge. The green light comes on for me when it's charged. Maybe you might want to run it out and see what happens. Good luck
