Sounds like the batteries are dud, most chargers have 2 or 3 lights, red (max charging) Amber (battery nearing full charge) Green (fully charged and most will switch to a trickle charge) has the scooter been out of use for some time as scooter / wheelchair batteries must be kept charged, and only a short time of no use can destroy the batteries.

    How long is a short time for not using a scooter. I have a varying condition which can make me bed bound for days at a time, so this is important info for me.

    Hi there, you will not do them any harm if you leave it fully charged and unused for up to a month, but if you are unsure I would recommend you buy a plug in digital time switch (from about 8 pounds UK) set it to switch on once a week for 10 hours, it will keep it fully charged (so long as the batteries are in good order) I have much the same health issues and that works for me. Hope that helps. Regards, mark.

I recently puchased an EGET MO-H04CD portable oxygen concentrator and I am having problems charging the Lithium batteries that were supplied with the unit. There are no instructions on how long you have to...

Red light normally means that the battery needs charging. The green flashing light can mean the battery is charging or has charged, and the same with the solid green light. Green in this case is good.

Charge the unit overnight and see what the indicator state is. It should not take more than 8 hours of charging for a Li-ion battery. Once you know what the full state light looks at, then you can tell what the charging indicator looks like.

In all cases, ensure you are using the proper charger with the unit.

Pronto M6 chair will not work. When the power switch is turned on, the LED light flash Red followed by three Green. I can't find what this error code meas.... Pls Help thanks Phil

Phil the red means battery is low and the green is a speed limit code because of the low battery if you have charged your batteries and you still get the red then you need to check the charger after charging all night does the yellow light on the charger turn green? if when you first plug in the charger if the red light is on and the other light is green then there is a problem with the wiring or connection to the batteries from the charger and you aren't charging the batteries. if when you plug the charger in and you get a red and yellow light then the charger is working but you don't ever ge a green light and the battery level gauge is still showing red then you need to replace the batteries Hope this helps

Battery charger-I have a problem Idont know what does red and green light mean?

The red and green lights indicate if the batteries in the charger are either charging or are finished charging.
If they are charging, the light will be red, and if they are finished charging, the light will be green.
Thank you for choosing FixYa!

I have a Sanyo T700 camera. Just got a new battery off Ebay. I inserted it inside the camera and a red light came on. Does that mean the battery is charging or does a green light mean that its...

The manual says that a red light is a charging error. Green means it is charging and the light goes out when charging is complete.

The camera must be turned off when charging the battery. They recommend a full 8 hour charge for a new battery, then allow it to discharge completely (leave the camera on I guess) and charge it again "before use".

You can download the manual from this page. Select the "Resources" tab.

Need to know what the lights mean on a makita dc24sa charger

• When the battery cartridge is inserted, the charging light color will change from green to red and charging will begin.
The charging light will remain lit steadily during charging.
• One red charging light indicates charged condition in 0 – 80% and two red ones indicates 80 – 100%.
• With finish of charge, the charging lights will change from two red ones to two green ones.
• The charging time is as follows:
Battery B9017A, BH1220, BH1420, BH9020A: approx. 20 minutes.
Battery B2417, BH1233, BH1433, BH2420, BH9033A: approx. 30 minutes.
Battery B2430, BH2433: approx. 60 minutes.

Treo 680 charging light flashes red when disconnected from charger

Have you activated phone yet? When phone is activated and in service it flashes green. It's hard to believe it would flash green without a SIM card, as there is no service...unless AT&T is providing emergency service only and you're getting a flashing green which means you're in range of their towers.

BATTERY CHARGER RADIO SHACK DELUXE 10 CELL

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!
