I've had this recharger for a couple of years but now instead of turning green when charged, it just flashes red. What does that mean?

This can often happen when your batteries (usually both in the pair) are in poor condition and will not readily accept a new charge. If you have a voltmeter you can check the voltage and if you find that even after charging the voltage is still close to zero, then this can give rise to this problem. Sometimes if the batteries will accept a charge you can get over the flashing red problem by swapping one of the pair for a different battery. However, due to the problem highlighted by the 'Engineer' reviewer for this product, if you charge two batteries together that are in a markedly different state of charge then you run the danger of overcharging one of them, and this will eventually shorten it's life. This is a drawback of this charger as it requires that you charge them in pairs. Check out the user review about this problem.

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.

I believe that the red means it needs to be charged and when fully charged will turn green in charger. I did not have good results with this unit and actually got better life from the 3000 mAh that came with the charger.

the red light is when the battery is too hot to be charged the battery must be cool down before being put on the charger then you should get a green blinking light and a solid green light when its fully charged and yes they do not last long in the trimmer I have four batteries myself and it goes through them quite quicklyso if you get in a red light remove the battery from the charger and let cool downI have even put mine in the refrigerator to help the processgood luck I hope this helps

Mine is green all the time, unless I pull it out of the wall and use it. Then when I plug it back in, it's red for a time and then goes back to green. So I assume red is "charging" and green is "charged."

It blinks green when its charging then solid green when its charged....Move the cables n put a little Vaseline on the battery . This works for me.

Yes mine does the same. I don't know what to do. I charge the battery and the light is green and all but it trips out after a few seconds and does so after that very quickly.

After a little more than a year of light use, mine blinks blue whenever plugged in and has no charge output (=DEAD). So, I think a flashing blue light means: get another charger - this one is DEAD. No surprise this item has been discontinued by the mfr.

The LED light on my unit remains red until the battery is charged, at which time, it then turns green. I don't know how a new battery would solve the problem. Is the unit actually charging the battery? It may be the LED light on the charger that is the problem.

It's supposed to turn green when is fully charged! I don't know what's wrong with yours ! You may need return it!sry

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?

The only answer I can give is this. When I charge my batteries on it its red when they are charging and green when they are done.

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

I charged mine last and the light wasn't showing green. I left it on longer and eventually the green light showed up. Mine was only a year old.

I bought one of these, and as far as I can tell, red is when it is charging are not fully charged, and green is when it is fully charged. I hope this helps.

When it's charging it's red, when it's charged its blue. Either you plugged it in wrong or it's defective.
