How many green stripes on fully charged battery

Hello Michael. Fully-charged batteries should indicate a green light on the battery charger and should illuminate all the five LEDs on the Joystick. The batteries should take about 8 hours to be fully charged. If you charged them for less hours there is a possibility they were not fully charged. If you feel you charged them for enough time and the battery charger showed a green light, that is frustrating, but there is a chance either the charger or the batteries are faulty. Substituting both the charger and batteries or either of them may be the best solution.

a good routine is to purchase a battery tester. hold the tester on and see if the output drops after a period of time.
Usually Batteries (when used) only uses a certain amount before they are charged..
When this happens The battery is only using the same cells within the battery & NOT using the full battery potential.
When this happens The battery life shortens & When charged The battery Will Indicate Fully charged But The Battery Life Is Reduced Because they Way it has been used & Charged. Always Use a Battery From fully Charged to Almost Flat Before Fully charging your battery. Also Don't be afraid of Over Charging your battery when it indicates Full. But not Too Much... Maybe an extra Hour or 2 tops.

Hi testing battery voltage will not give an accurate reading on battery condition U need a BATTERY LOAD TESTER.it will check the condition & give U a true reading on there condition ,..if batteries r good the next thing to check is the control box the charger circuit runs into the control then to the batteries if control box is faulty this could b the problem .,with youre charger not charging . LOAD TESTER AVAILABLE ON E/BAY APROX COST $35 , Cheers

You have two good batteries in the green side, the red light means that one or both batteries are not fully charging. Try that set on the other side to confirm. Make sure the batteries and charger connections are clean.
Hope this helps.

First measure the voltage of the batteries at the charging socket of the joystick.

The red light will turn blue when the battery fully charges - it is flashing because the battery is charging.

I have the same problem. When I try to charge a battery the green LED onthe charger flashes green and the battery does not charge. Any ideas?

When batteries are placed into the charge mode, the red light will come on.
When fully charged, on those units with a green light, the green light will be an indication that your batteries are charged and if your unit has no green light, the fully charged indication will be when the red light turns iff.

I would go to Radio Shack and have them explain the proper charging procedure as well as inquire about the red and green lights as not all chargers go green when fully charged-Normally red indicates a charging action and if a charger has no fully charged light, then a required charge time period is noted in the instructions. Batteries can be ruined by over charging!
