I received this with a totally dead battery and no documentation. The charger light does not change from green. Typical?

A green charger light indicates the battery is charged. If the battery doesn't work in the light, there could be a few problems. The battery or charger could be defective, or you may have put the battery in backwards. I don't mean to insult you, I have put batteries in wrong on several occasions. Try inserting the battery both ways, if you have something else that takes the same kind of battery, try it there. It is also possible the switch is bad or loose. I believe there are a couple of small divots on a retaining ring that keeps the switch tight. It's in the end cap. Sorry its a bit long but these are issues I've had with LED lights. Let me know if I can be of further assistance. A green charger light indicates the battery is charged. If the battery doesn't work in the light, there could be a few problems.

I was told its green when fully charged but mine worked for 10 minutes, had a funny smell & quit working. Id send it back & get something of quality
383230
not what happened to me. It is a cheaper light so I would send It back and invest in a nicer light shuch as the thrunite tn12. and no that is not usual
383231
Sounds like a bad charger just exchange it but it is a great light I have 4 of them had no problems
383232
I think there maybe a defective battery. Mine came partially charged and then charged it to have the green light come on

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

I haven't used my new Charger long enough to answer correctly, but it has a box at the bottom that tells you when the battery is full charged, it may turn green, but I cant verify that yet. sorry.

I had the same question after i received the charger, there were no instructions with it. It came wraped in a peice of plastic. I ended up purchasing a new charger with a digital guage so i could tell if the battery was fully charged.

The battery charger completely quit working, so I charge it through the camera itself. I haven't replaced it and probably won't. But the batteries have proved to be fine. When the charger worked it had a small led that went from red to green, green meaning charged.

Can't tell if you have the same problem but a note to all owners: After using my mower I plugged in the charger but the charger light stayed green even though the battery was discharged. Contacted Customer Service, who said take it to a repair shop. THEN, I read, in very fine print, that the light is green if charged OR if disconnected. So, I jiggled the charger plug (at the mower) and the light changed to red. Problem solved.

Have you tried using it? I don't think the light changes color to indicate charge. Just red when the charger is plugged in, and blue when it's turned on

I just plugged my charger in with two batteries. Light is solid red. Will turn to green when charged

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

Eventually after the battery is fully charged the light goes to a steady green. If the battery is defective, a red light will indicate that. This charger is a little more critical of the overall health of the battery. Some people have commented that the charger says to replace the battery were other chargers say it is fine. I have only had this happen to me one time and I believe the battery probably should have been replaced.

Dear Aya, That's normal. The new charger blinks instead of having the steady red. After the full charge you will see a steady green light. Please contact our customer service if you have more questions. all the best, Team Tendlite

From what I understand from reading the owners manual, that indication is the chargers way of telling you that the battery is very discharged and is only at about 25% of its capacity. The LEDs are supposed to blink, not light up solid, as the charger is charging. If there is nothing wrong with the battery, the charge level should start going up after a while and in a few hours, the LEDs should read at 100% (solid, not blinking, red, red, yellow, green LEDs). I hope this helps you Mary! Michael R

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!

I have one charger that works, one that is toast. When I plug-in the one that works (without a battery in it) the LED comes on green, but flashes red about every half-second or so. If your charger does that, your battery is probably bad. I had one bad battery, and 1 bad charger, and I was going crazy till I connected with someone who had working chargers and batteries so I could do some tests. Hope that helps.

Sorry, I can't shed any light on the subject, Brian. After ordering the charger I discovered the problem was with my battery not the charger - I returned the charger I purchased through Amazon. My battery had run too low to be charged using any charger. I had to take it to a golf cart service store and they got it up and running for me. The charger I had was perfectly OK.

Hello, how are you? You know I dont remember for sure. I'm thinking the original charger had a light that never showed if it was charged(it was always on). I went ahead and bought a fast charger that goes from solid to blinking when charged.

I have a problem, that might be related and I wanted to ask people as well. When I put the battery in the charger (I have two), most of the time, even though the battery is empty, the charger shows green light and does not charge. I have to put the battery in slightly elevated angle and push on it and then it will start charging. So maybe your batteries were not charged at first place. Also happens to me, that the batteries discharge if not in use for 2-3 days, so before use I always recharge.
