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.

Need to read instruction manual........."8. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSOnce the connection instructions have been followed, theRed Light Emitting Diode (L.E.D.) lights when AC power ispresent. The Yellow L.E.D. then flashes to indicate `BatteryTesting Mode' which tests for highly sulfated and multipleshorted cell batteries. When the Battery Testing Modedetects a potentially defective battery, all further chargingis suspended and the Red AC Power L.E.D. will flash.The `Charging Mode' begins when the Yellow L.E.D. is oncontinuously and charges the battery to approximately14.4Vdc and then transitions into the 'Float Mode' wherethe Green L.E.D. illuminates.

The Blinking red lights normally means that it is charging or need to be charged. When finished with charging the red light should disappear.

I had a similar experience. After a period of working just fine, it stopped taking a charge. Light blinks rapidly when plugged in.

Red light just shows that power is on. When the light is blinking it is charging. It will be steady green when it's fully charged.

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.

Jamie, it is caused by low battery, you need to change the batteries. If it's still blinking with no reason, please tell us.

My light (green) stay's on when charging. It goes off when complete. Mine only blinks when the battery is low. It sounds as if your battery might be faulty.I never use tech support on anything. They usually know less about their products than we do!

With mine, all the green lights are on when it's fully charged, but now always. I have no idea what the red light means. It may be just for show. I wouldn't buy another one of these, though. It works 95% of the time. Sometimes I pull the battery off after a few hours, and it hasn't charged. It didn't come with any type of documentation.

From my observation, when the red light flickers (instead of steady) when motion is detected, it is an indicator of low battery. Best to charge it via the USB.

Red light should be blinking. Once the charge is completed, the red light should stay on.

The red light is supposed to blink constantly. If it isn't blinking, send it back.

I have to plug mine in about once a week. The little light at the bottom on the front will blink red. Does that help?

I have only experienced this with LED bulbs on a different light housing. I'd recommend trying a regular light bulb/flood light bulb to see if the blinking still occurs.

one of the lights is blinking and once the battery is fully charged the light turns green!

That is a good Question. I would like to know the answer also. I have tried pushing the button on top after replacing the batteries the unit cycles through red,yellow and green and then starts flashing the red button and does not work.

Mine does this but the yellow light is blinking. Don't know why but unplugging it and plugging it back in fixes it... until the next time. :-/
