Anyone else had charger read blue when you put battery in to charge? My battery was at 25% when I took it from my phone and put it in charger.

Mine has always read pink when it wasn't fully charged. However, once I thought I had it in properly, but it was just a little off and it read blue until I checked and got it all the way engaged.

I just got my set and this charger does NOT work properly in a number of ways. When I put the Anker batteries in, the charger is BLUE from start to finish. 5 hours of charging yielded a 21% charge. When I put the stock battery in, pinkish purple all the way 6 hours to 91% charge. I suspect a bad charger, but I'm gonna do process of elim by charging the Anker batteries via USB. Regardless, my kit is going back because charger and/or batteries are bad.

No... I always let my charger get down to 5% or lower then charge it. When I put it in the charger its always pink, it only turns blue when the battery is fully charged. if it is blue at 25% then it is not fully secured in the charger.

It should only be blue when it's plugged in with no battery. It should turn red/purple when it's charging and then red/blue when it's charged. I use more almost every day and mine works fine. Maybe contract anker about a replacement?

I found the same problem, my battery never seemed to charge. When I put in the original Samsung battery, the charging pins just fell in and the it became useless. I returned it to Amazon and bought another style of charger altogether

That doesnt sound right. Mine made no noise. Initial charge was 99%. Placed battery in phone and charged to 100% after a couple of minutes. Charges to 100% every time now.

usually when you charge it , it should have a blue / red light that pops up. if it doesnt, it can be broken or you didn't charge the charger yet (:

Call Anker on the number shown on the little instruction booklet that came with your charger. I have not heard of a blue flashing blue light but if the phone is charging the light color is a moot point. (maybe they ran out of green lenses at the factory)

Something must be wrong with your charger. Mine works fine. After use I repace my unit in the charger and the Orange light will turn to green (indicating a full charge )after one or two hours. Ready for use again. I have had no problems with my unit and use it for 30 to 40 minutes every other day ..Kendra

mine charged up no problem. It may be a bad charger or something is drawing from the battery as its charging or maybe a dud battery. Try a different charger if you can.

I would typically plug it in when the battery died. I would just plug the charger directly to the phone or to my rapid-charge car charger - while still in the phone. One thing I should point out though. About one month after the warranty expired, the battery bloated up. I had to replace it with a zero lemon battery. I've had the new battery about 3 months and so far it is working flawless.

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.

That happened to me once. I think perhaps the battery wasn't fully pushed into the charger. I can't speak with certainty to your case, but could that be a possibility? I would try charging it again on the charger and see if it works. if not, contact the seller. I love my charger, and only had a problem the one time. The USB port on my phone has since ceased to work, so I am really glad that I got the charge - it is now a necessity! It has worked perfectly except one time, and I think that the battery wasn't fully pushed into the charger then.

I purchased this as a backup battery and mainly charge with my phone. When you are using the charger that came with the batteries, I think purple is charging and blue is fully charged or it may be the other way around.

The first time I charged my battery it went from purple when charging to blue when it was 100%. The second time (which is as we speak) the battery was 26% when I plugged it in and the light is red. Not sure what red means since the first time charging was purple. I did the power cycle on it and its still red. Maybe it will turn purple then blue? It took about 6 hours to charge from 20%-100% the first time.

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

Mine works fine and it doesnt do that( doesnt need to be unpluged after a while). As soon as your phone is "charging" the led's turns solid blue... sometimes if you are on the border of the charging zone it might flash green and blue. Are you using a 5V 2 A charger for it?

When you stick an uncharged battery in there, the light should turn red. It turns progressively more blue as it fully charges. When it is fully charged, the charger will be blue.
