How do you get a AAA battery into the charger? I've put the negative end in as instructed and the + will not go in at all.

you put the negative end on the lower connector on the charger, line it up with the positive connector and push down gently. The battery doesnt lay down totally flat but it will make the connection you need to charge it

Mine go in but it is a Really TIGHT Fit. Seems like the negative spring is super tight, I pushed from the + end with a plastic knife.

I am sorry, I had the same problem. I ended up throwing it away and ordering a new one! I did not see any way to open it and replace a battery.

The blank side of the battery should be facing up with the metal contacts on the battery matching up with the metal prongs in the charger. Additionally you will notice in the upper right hand corner of the charger a small plastic catch which fits into a notch on the battery and helps retain it in the charger. This also requires that the battery be inserted at a slight angle but shouldn't ordinarily impede the battery unless it's the wrong battery/charger combination.

Just plug in the battery first, then plug the charger in. It won't work if you insert the battery after you plug in the charger.

Pull the bottom casing off and drop in the battery (it is marked to show the + and -). That's all there is to it.

Never had a problem w/the charger.just adjust the batteries.get a battery checker.best way to check any battery.also the batteries are old?best wishes.

I think the key is _set the battery in the charger ,making you have + to + and - to - before plugging the charger in the outlet. At this time you should have an empty battery outline on the screen. When you plug the charger in you should se a charging battery image.

Nope. This might be a knock off styled battery charger, or the batter itself might be broke. Do you have any other batteries to try out to see if it's the charger itself or the battery? Someone you can borrow from? Do some testing to pin down what it is that isn't working here. Good luck.

Try flipping the battery over and charge it "upside-down". I had to write to the seller at first because my battery wouldn't initially charge.

OK, I have a Sony battery. I insert with the backside facing me (the arrow side is not showing), and with the 4 copper contacts facing the prongs (at the top of the charger) If that doesn't work, you may have the wrong battery somehow. Hope this helps.

That happened to me once. I think perhaps the battery wasn't fully pushed into the charger. I can't speak with certainty to your case, but could that be a possibility? I would try charging it again on the charger and see if it works. if not, contact the seller. I love my charger, and only had a problem the one time. The USB port on my phone has since ceased to work, so I am really glad that I got the charge - it is now a necessity! It has worked perfectly except one time, and I think that the battery wasn't fully pushed into the charger then.

To make it a little more clear - holding charger upright with the battery and label facing you so you can read it - push the battery hard to the right and pull up on the left side like the others said. Too bad the giant arrow telling you which way to push is UNDER the battery when it is stuck. Couple of tries and you will quickly get the hang of it!

Are you sure the charger is working, I would check that first? If so, also suggest you might need to disassemble it to determine the battery model and type, then search online accordingly. Sorry - not a positive answer to your question.

Hi Shard, my initial assumption is that you do not have the connectors in the right place. The batteries are connected in series i.e. mine are 6volt batteries and I have 6 of them for a total of 36v. So the positive connectorhas to be on the 1st batteries positive terminal and the negative connector has to be on the negative terminal of the last battery. If you have it hooked up that way, one of the batteries might be bad. Bill

I am also looking for the ones with the nipple on the negative side of the battery. Did you happen to find LR44 batteries with them on it? Just that little nipple makes all the difference in the world making this fit into the device. Please let me know, still searching. Thanks

i think you should start with trying another charger. since its a micro-usb port it shouldnt be too much of a problem finding one. you should also try different sockets... the electrical output may differ a little bit. if the problem still persists, i assume its the battery. try discharging it and (however) charge it again up to 100%. your next option would be buying another battery... good luck!

If you are referring to the 1.0 charger DO NOT use it with these batteries. If is is a electrical tape type material, it may be you got the wrong battery. There is a similar model without a case, but a wrapping. They work fine on the 2.0 charger but don't have the circuit which stops them from overcharging, and it is dangerous to overcharge them.
