Mine does the same. I don't think it is an error, just a change since the trimmer continues to work.

Sorry, I can't shed any light on the subject, Brian. After ordering the charger I discovered the problem was with my battery not the charger - I returned the charger I purchased through Amazon. My battery had run too low to be charged using any charger. I had to take it to a golf cart service store and they got it up and running for me. The charger I had was perfectly OK.

No....turn the power off to charge. The red light will come on when you plug in the charger. When the red light disappears it is fully charged.

I don't know. I just went and checked mine was has been plugged in for the past 3 days and the light is red. So I took it out of the charger and put it in the Sweeper.

Not exactly. For these chargers, red light for charging, green for charged.

I would conclude that the charger is defective. I used mine yesterday and the lights worked correctly.

If the red and green light come on together, it isn't charging. When it is charging, only the red light should come on along with the fan (which you can hear). I had problems getting my charger to work - sent it back and will order another since most reviews were positive.

OK Susie P., so you've used the battery until it is completely exhausted and now it won't recharge, correct? If you have checked to make sure there is power to the charger, the charger light should glow red when no battery is inserted, red while the battery is charging (a couple hours) then green when the battery is fully charged. If the charger glows red and you never get to a green light, then the battery is defective and should be returned for an exchange/refund.

The trimmer comes with a battery charger. The battery is interchangeable with other B&D; cordless devices which is really convenient. Lights on the charger let you know if the battery is fully charged or still in the process of charging.

A good question, Ann. The manual only says that after the first time you charge it, it will need shorter charging times. The first time I charged mine, I just left it plugged it for several hours, checked and the green light indicated a full charge. The SECOND time I recharged, however, the light went green after about 2 hours, so I attached it to the trimmer for use, and the LED indicator said it was still one level short of a full charge. So why did the green light come on? If you could just leave it charging overnight, you could be sure it's fully charged, but it has a warning light (orange) for when the battery is too hot and should be removed from the charger. So I recommend charging during the day and checking it periodically to see when it's green.

There is a red light on the charger that is lit while it is plugged in. The light does not turn off when charged.

Check with B & D. I found the trimmer had a battery that is different from all my other batteries, and I have 4 B & D tools that do have interchangeable batteries. The trimmer has three terminal prongs, and the charger works only with the trimmer battery. None of the other B & D batteries can be used with the trimmer charger.

According to the manual on page 5 it says the red and green light blinking at the same time means it's balance charging. When the light goes solid green it is fully charged. Have you tried letting it go for a while and see if it goes solid green with no red?

you should be able to find one on the internet-i have the hedge trimmer and the line trimmer or weed wacker-they both use the same type of battery-so one is in use and one could be charging -RA

I would contact the seller to fix this. I recieved mine in working condition. My charger goes from green to red when charging.

My charger's green lights show if the batteries are fully charged, or if I don't have any batteries installed in the charger. The red lights come on when the batteries are actually receiving a charge. Make sure you have fully removed the protective plactic that covers the new batteries when they are shipped, or your charger will think no batteries are installed, and the lights will stay Green.

I have this charger (2nd one), the red light only appears when the battery is at its lowest charge and will begin flashing green as it charges up. When the green light stays on, you battery is fully charged.
