Once I connected this battery to the balance charger, I am getting charge status and 1S LED blinking red. What does it mean?

Great....Good luck with it. It should fly about 10 to 12 minutes on a full charge. 6 to 8 if you have a camera on it.Mike

The yellow battery main voltage plug, and the white balance plug, both have to be plugged into the charger.

That cell is bad as long as both the balance port and charging cable are both plugged in

That is not normal. How many mAH does it say is charged when you check the battery status? AnKer is amazing with their customer service. I would notify them. Also, sorry if this is a stupid comment, but check to make sure you didn't install the old battery again. Let me know how it goes.

it is a balance charger but if you have a cell that became discharged below minimal voltage then its not going to fix that. However if the battery just got discharged unevenly somehow, it may recharge it to full capacity. I am guessing that the battery developed a short and is probably defective, but trying another charger may fix it (if it was not discharged too far). Just be extra careful when trying to charge that battery and monitor it. Hope this helps you to decide what to do! It is a good little charger for the money!

The indicator light does change to show that the battery is fully charged. I haven't used my charger in a couple months. So, I don't recall exactly what the light does. If memory serves me well, it actually blinks red when charging, and shows solid green when it is done charging.

Mine never worked at all. My advice would be to do like I did: request a refund, then throw this battery in the garbage and spend a few bucks on an Anker or other decent brand. :-) Seriously, you may want to remove the battery while the computer is plugged in and see if it changes anything on the status display. If it changes, you know the battery is bad, if not, I would suspect a problem with the computer.

My LED is red when charging then turns off when the battery is fully charged.

Dear carbon, when the led light is stopped blinking, it show it has been charged fully. Thank you.

The topmost light will blink - your battery arrived mostly charged - if it was less charged then a different light would be blinking

Blinking light means it is in charging mode. Should go back to green after awhile.Sorry for your loss.

Eventually after the battery is fully charged the light goes to a steady green. If the battery is defective, a red light will indicate that. This charger is a little more critical of the overall health of the battery. Some people have commented that the charger says to replace the battery were other chargers say it is fine. I have only had this happen to me one time and I believe the battery probably should have been replaced.

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

Solid yellow light means the battery is charging. I think the other indicators going off after a minute or two is "normal" operation. Mine does the same thing. I would kind of like the information display to stay illuminated. But you can always "refresh" it by pressing the left most button. I'd prefer I didn't have to walk around the car to do so.

Yes, the charging indicator is RED when the battery is charging. The RED LED goes out when the battery is fully charged. The directions indicating a BLUE charging indicator should be corrected. But considering the low cost of the unit, this is a minor issue that doesn't affect the normal operation of the charger.

I was able to replace my battery. But right now its always blinking on one bar. It seems to be charging now though so I will be patient and let it charge. Hope fully bars will return. When its charging the bars blink right? Mine doesn't do that anymore. @Richard L How did it strip the battery case?

The blinking light is when the battery is charging. The solid red is when the battery is fully charged.

According to the written text on the charger it states Red Light Flashing - "Reverse Polarity or Battery Fault" So I'd double check whether you connected the leads wrong then get a battery tester to make sure an internal short does not exist. Hope this helps anyone reading this question.

Well, this is something everyone agrees on. When you attach your device a number of the four LEDs will light up and start blinking, depending on how discharged your device is. You are fully charged when all four are lit up and steady. It really is something I've found very handy.
