Got a new one. Used it until it needed a charge, used it again, worked GREAT. But when it needed a charge again, it will not . Light stays green. Why

This sort of happened to me. I ran the blower to discharge the battery more and it charged okay.

i was told years ago about the memories in batteries , then told the new batteries dont , but i still go by the old info , & have great success with batteries , i have many of them , different brands , & i get many years out of them , also i do not use rapid chargers , a slow charge is always the best , just like with car , & cell phone batteries

I find the charger needs to cool down -- unplug it for a while, then try again.

really have no idea unless bad contact with charger, OR you got a bad battery with yours. Call the company.

? i use it to there is no charge left in it , then recharge , that takes about 5 hrs to charge , thats why i bought 2 of them , they can run the unit for about an hr , as with all my battery operated tools , i let the battery run out , then completely recharge them , you may have a defective battery , if you get a new 1 , dont try using it , till its completly charged , 5 hours , then use every bit of power left on it before recharging , battery's have memories

The red light won't stay on. I've plugged it both in the wall and on my computer and I have no indication that the charge is holding. Is this happening to anyone else or should I return it? I only got it today.

Never happened to me. Does the battery charge? Do the lights change color accordingly? Might be a bad charger.

That is the manufacturers recomendation. The green light may be from a surface charge build up. Our unit has worked well. Enjoy.

Be sure that two green lights are showing on the right hand side. If only one, click the button on the right a second time to activate full power. I've been using these for 11 yrs, and I used to own a daycare. I could sweep up all the lunch mess, macaroni, peas, dirt from shoes, cat hair, you name it! Go for it. If both lights are on, be sure it's been charging over night the first time. If that fails, return it. Every once in a while the battery pack itself is bad and doesn't hold a full charge. Good luck!

Leave it alone until it fully discharges. Then leave it for a couple of days more. Then plug it in and let it fully recharge. If the light comes on again, it is probably a faulty switch.

My green light would not turn in after i charged it. I called the company and they were very responsive-sent me a new one. You can find the user manual on line!

had the same problem at first but I discharged it completely then left it on changer overnight, about 4 hours more past the light turning green. Now it holds a charge long enough for 2 trims. DO NOT leave it on charge any longer than that.

Yes, it is supposed to light up, but it doesn't necessarily go off when it's charged, I've noticed. My original one turned green when it was charged, but this one doesn't. It may not be charging or the light may be faulty. Mine stays red even when charged in the recent one I bought.

I don't know, you might have a defective unit. My green light is on all the time and the battery has never had to be changed. I've had it for over a year. You might want to have your outlets checked too. You may have a short in that specific one you are using. Try using another outlet if that does not work, get another unit. I hope this helps.

I called the Samsung company, and he told me to keep it plugged in the wall, and eventually it was a steady light and it started to charge. I let it charge for a while and it was totally charged. So try this before you go out and buy a new battery.

i have charged mine several times with no proplem. perhaps you want to check to make sure it was off when charged otherwise i know your bulb will take a hit. try turning on the side light and leave it on, even though it might not light up, it will discharge the overcharge if that is the problem good luck.

I never met such problem. if need charged, the sound would be a little weird, unclear, low....but the green light was not flashing

Did you just buy it? If yes let the charge waste all the way and when it is done put it on charge if it charges it then the charge works but the light feature is defective. You can always contact the seller and request a replacement and if it was sold by amazon call them and tell them that you are disappointed and you want a new one with next day shipping at no charge and they will accept because it is their fault. If it is a 3rd party seller ask them to ship one at now charge to you and if they say no then threaten them with a 1 star rating. Good luck

I would guess you just got a defective battery. My experience has been fantastic. I use it almost every night. The beam is brighter than any comparable flashlight I've ever owned. I haven't ever had any problem with the battery holding a charge, and it lasts for a long time. Did you charge it fully before use? You should have. Also, the instructions say to plug it back into the charger after every use. I do this even if I only use it for two or three minutes. Unless you've had it a long time, Black and Decker is pretty good about standing behind their warranties. I'd give them a call.
