My Charger flashes Red and it doesn't charge the battery up. I have left it plugged in for up to four hours. Hooked up correctly.

Check the small wires coming out of the battery to ensure they are connected to the charger. It should turn blue/green when charged. If that doesn't work call DJI, they are very helpful on the telephone.

I have experienced this with one of my chargers before... I think it means that something is wrong with either the outlet or the battery that you are charging. I have seen it at times and then tried a different battery and all of a sudden it works. I would look it up online.

Same thing happened to me when I let the battery to discharge too much, that ruined the battery and had to purchase a new one. The battery instructions give advice on that, unfortunately I forgot that. Try to stop the Drone as son as the red light start flashing.

My charger's light has long ago refused to turn on when charging. The Gold Cells charge just fine in my very old charger, but the red light doesn't come on.

The battery was low in charge, and the charger is not very powerful. Mine charged with the indicator red for about that long when I first used it. I'd give it at least 10 hours to turn green unless the battery gets hot (in which case its bad and needs replacement).

From the small amount of information given you either have a short in the battery wire or the battery is being removed from the charger before the charge/discharge cycle is finished. In order to give a better answer you will need to furnish a step by step list... Like: 1.) I am charging a LIPO battery. 2.) I connect the charger to an A/C outlet and the screen responds by lighting up. 3.) I scroll by way of the menu to LIPO battery and etc..... This will give a better idea of what is going wrong and when the fault is happening... OK?

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.

Check to be sure first of all that the charger is operating by looking for the red light when its plugged in. Please note: these batteries are rechargable. If the red light it is on then its possible the batteries are defective, The batteries are enclosed in the main section near the handle. Check with Radio Shack to purchase the same batteries, you may also need a soldering device due to the battery tabs are sometimes linked together.... It may be a better idea to replace the entire unit!

From all I can tell, he red light is supposed to be solid when charging. If flashing, it could indicate a charging error (bad/defective battery), or a faulty charger. I would suspect the battery first. Good luck.

I'm having the exact same problem. Although my charger was somewhat inconsistent before it died completely. (For about a month the light would come on on the charger about 3/4 of the time when I plugged it in.)

Yes, It has to be flashing red until it gets green solid then is charged.The first couple of times you charge it it won't last to long, so you need to use it to drain and charge it again and again. Every time will last longer.

make sure you have the battery in the charger in the right direction, I ha mine pluged in overnight. The battery stays charged for a long time

Reading the other responses, I would suggest the same thing. Make sure the battery is connected to the electrical charging points on the charger. I had that problem. Paul Crutchley

In the directions it says that the red charging light should go off after charging is complete. Unfortunately it doesn't. I let mine charge for over 8 hours and the light remained on. The red light only indicates that it's charging. It will hold charge. Haven't had any other problem with my unit.

From what I understand from reading the owners manual, that indication is the chargers way of telling you that the battery is very discharged and is only at about 25% of its capacity. The LEDs are supposed to blink, not light up solid, as the charger is charging. If there is nothing wrong with the battery, the charge level should start going up after a while and in a few hours, the LEDs should read at 100% (solid, not blinking, red, red, yellow, green LEDs). I hope this helps you Mary! Michael R

The first time I tried to charge mine it did the same thing, I moved around the charger connection to get the red light to stay on, you may have to unplug an plug in again to get the red light to stay on. The other issue that causes problems is the delay between getting a good connection and when the red light actually comes on. Plug it in and wait a few seconds to see that the red light comes on and stays on.

I've gone about 4 hours on it and it was still working fine, then. If you leave it off the charger for more than a day, it will light up red for an hour or so.

Had my charger plugged in for a few days with a battery from a recently purchased yard sale 18-volt drill. The unit was warm to the touch, but not hot. I have charged other batteries and they were warm when removed. The charger changes to a solid light when the battery is charged, and I usually remove it at that time. If it's getting really warm, I'd try a different battery if possible. If same result, then I would contact vendor or B&D; as a warranty issue.

I only takes a couple of hours for mine to charge. Sounds like your charger or battery is faulty.
