Does red light on charger go out when battery fully charged?

Use a countdown timer to charge HF drill battery. The issue is that the charger that comes with the drill is not a float charger meaning it will not shut off when the batter is fully charged. I plug the charger into a Belkin (F7C009) countdown timer set for 3 hours. It is available on Amazon for around $14 - you can also use a less expensive Woods timer but I like the three hour setting that is not available on the Woods. Don't let the battery get hot - that will kill it.

No, the red light only designates power. The charger will not stop charging until the battery is removed or the charger unplugged. If the container states having a "smart" charger, it's an improved version which would shut off the charging operation once the battery was fully charged. I don't know if Drillmaster has seen fit to include a "smart" charger.

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.

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.

When you first place the light in the charger the red light is on continuously. When it is fully charged the light will blink.

red light will go out on charger around 20-30min, mines out in 30min but I installed a larger battery.

Mine has a red light that comes on and stays on while charging. I will update when it's done charging to let you know what it does.OK, after charging the red light went off. At that point I disconnected from the charger and reconnected it, the light came on for a second and went right back off so it looks like you're fully charged. Hope this helps and enjoy!!

My experience has been that the light is on when it is working. I don't know if the light goes out when the battery is fully charged.

Yes the red light indicator will let you now that is charging and once the battery is fully charged the light will become green. But then you just unplugged the charger

A red light comes on when charging. When fully charged the light goes off. It doesn't change color.

The battery light turns red when the unit needs charging, and when plugged in and fully charged, the battery light turns green. The battery light remains out during normal use.

The charger I got with mine had a little light on it that is red when it is charging and turns green when it is done charging.

My red light eventually goes off. I have not had any issues. I typically charge the battery for a couple hours - less may work. Not sure.

Yes. A red light appears while charging, then turns green when fully charged.
