Battery Charger Olympus li-40c
By brendenmayne on Aug 25, 2008
Hi I recently bought the 790sw I have only charged the battery twice and now for some reason the battery will not charge. The red charge light continually flashes no matter how long you charge the battery and the camera will not start up. I am not sure whether it is a problem with the charger or problem with the battery

- I don't think it's got anything to do with "cheap copy batteries." I have the original battery, and I have the same problem. I've had the camera for about 8 months. It has worked fine until now. - GuestApr 20, 2009
- We have the same problem. Our camera has had regular use for the past 6 months and it was fine yesterday. Now today the camera wont turn on and the battery flashes red continually and will not charge. - GuestApr 02, 2009
- Same problem here... i'm currently using the original olympus batery and it failed to charged. The red lights keeps flashing and my battery is less than one year old.. - GuestMar 25, 2009
- I have the same problem only it's the original battery that came with the camera. The manual has no explanation for the flashing red light. My battery is less than a year old. - GuestFeb 25, 2009

this appears to be a problem with cheap copy batteries. I've got the original Olympus battery that came with my camer and have no problems with charging i.e. the light comes on and stays solid red until the battery is charged at which point the light turns solid green. If i put in the cheap 'copy' batteries that I got off Ebay from China or somewhere, the led light flashes red continually, no matter how long I leave the batter on the charger for. I put the battery in my camera to check to see if it was charging at all and it has no charge in it. So I'm going to throw away the cheap battery I got. I think the flashing red light means that the charger is unable to charge that battery for some reason? Not sure why as I can't find any documentation on the net anywhere. Hope this helps some people.

try cleaning the terminals on the battery and charger with an alcohol wipe like the kind you use to clean eye and sun glasses...it may take a few tries but it seems to be working this far.

I had this problem a few weeks ago (i.e. flashing red LED). All I did was remove the power plug from the charging unit, turned it around 180 degrees, then plugged it back into the charging unit. Red LED came on steady & the battery (which is the one that came with the camera) recharged as normal.

If the charger is flashing red then the battery was allowed to fully
discharge. You can either buy a new battery or force the charger to
charge the battery. The way you do this is by applying a voltage across
the charging terminals while inserting the battery. I opened the case
of my charger and attached wires from a AAA battery to the
corresponding wires attached to the charging deck (+ to red and - to
black). Then I slipped the battery into the charger and plugged the
charger into tho wall. The light should illuminate solid red (no
flashing). Then immediately (and carefully) remove the wires from the
charger.

Same problem. LI-40C charger worked first time I used it, but the second time, the "charge" light blinked red, would not turn green at any length of time, and would not charge battery.
