When I charge the Lithium battery, the charger makes a clicking noise over and over again. Is this normal???

When you insert the battery It makes some "clicking" noises a couple of seconds. Try a different battery, you might have a bad battery or bad charger. If you only have the battery that came with the set, return the whole set and get a new one. When returning remember to specify "it doesn't work", otherwise you might have to pay for the return. In case of doubt how to return it and get a replacement, call amazon's customer service.

Never happened to me. Does the battery charge? Do the lights change color accordingly? Might be a bad charger.

I have had the product for several years now & I have never heard clicking sound coming from it. Sounds like there might be something wrong with it. It's never given me any problems other than having to change batteries from time to time.

I don't know how you are using the charger. I've had mine since May. I only use it rarely when I am traveling and need the extra boost. If you been charging and discharging the battery daily, you might have created a memory effect in the battery. Lithium battery were not supposed to have the memory effect problem, but it has been found that is not completely true. I would contact Amazon/Jackery to see if they would replace the battery since it's been only a few weeks.

how do you know that the charger is the problem and not the battery?Just got one used defined 'like new' and after 6h on charge the battery still indicates 0% and when I disconnect the charger, it turns off

The charger i received does not make any noises, so hopefully it helps you identify the issue. In your case i would definitely try to get a replacement as this noise usually corrseponds to malfunction. To add...my last charger which i replaced made those noises and aoon after stopped charging.

I have not experienced any noise or humming my self,but,according to Nikon`s web site:'AnswersIt is normal for the batteries to make a quiet humming noise when charging. If there are any concerns please contact support at 1-800-NIKONUS! '

Nope - doesn't make a peep of audible noise - just an internal relay clicking after it does it's initial check and switches to charge mode.

I purchased Dec 2011, my unit has a clicking, but it happens only when I move the camera around, like shaking it or more like when it's rocked side to side. It sounds like something is loose inside, like a small screw. It happens all the time, even when the camera is turned off. If I didn't know of the issue, I may not have really noticed, so, not a huge issue for me. Camera works great nonetheless and I still love picture and video results.

I had issues with that. And the battery. Bad cell. Return was quick and painless tho. Amazon got me a new battery in 2 days. The charger I would recommend only using one that specifies lithium. Battery tender was out of stock so I got a battery tender plus charger. You can leave it on the battery for long periods and it's safe with lithium. I hope this helped.

I'm not sure if your unit is defective. My newtrent does not make noise when charging. you may have to contact the company so they can help you with that issue.

Yes, this is the second time it has happened to me. I will try with universal charger when I get home or have to buy another battery within 6 months. .

Check on the battery occassionally while it's charging. Some times if the battery is to old, it will overheat and melt itself to the charger. I had it happen. If it hasn't been charged in quite awhile, the hot pack signal will come on. I took the battery out and let it sit for awhile. Put in back in the charger the next day and it fully charged.

I've had this happen occasionally with mine, particularly as the battery has gotten older. It seems to happen only after it has been plugged in for a long time. Unplugging it and letting it sit seems to clear it. If I don't leave it plugged into the charger for more than a day, I don't see the problem. If your's always does it, I think the battery may be getting sick, or the charging circuit is defective.

Sounds to me like you may have a defective battery. Only sure way to find out is to try another one or ask a dealer (if you have one in your area) to check it for you. Thats the best I can tell you as this is the first thing you should always check. Its also possible your charger is not up to snuff. Good luck. -js

If it's a NEW battery, it could be that your charger is defective. Charger cable could have a short.Take it to the store you bought your service from. They should be able to tell you if it's bad.

Never had that problem. Try to use the battery and see how long it will last then you'll know if the charger is working properly, and if the batteries are fully charged or not.

I believe this is normal operation. It did that for me with the original power supply. I think it's just to let you know when it's charging vs. battery mode. Hope that helps.
