Just got a Mag One BPR battery delivered to me and i put it on the charger. After about an hour the green light is on. I thought the battery needed to be charged for 8 hours the first time? Why the green light already? Didi I buy a used battery?!?!?! Should i leave it on the full 8 hours anyway?

The charger which comes with the BPR40 is a rapid charger. (The book doesn't indicate if it is a 90 min. or 3 hour charger.) None-the-less, your battery is fine. When your charger is displaying green it will continue to trickle (slow) charge the battery to keep it topped off, so to speak. The first 3 charge cycles you should leave the battery on the charger the full recommended time. On most Motorola radios it is 10-12 hours. This will assure your battery is charged to full capacity and initiated properly. In most cases, your traditional charging of the radio should be overnight. When you go to bed, put the radio to bed on the charger.

FYI: All batteries come from the factory with some charge in them. It is a small test charge to assure the battery's funcationality.

If for some reason after the first week or so, you think your battery or charger is not functioning properly, contact the dealer where you purchased the unit. They can replace it under warranty.

Best regards.

Have 2 lights on charger. One power, the other says charging. Both come on but after about 15 mins the charging light goes off. Does this mean the battery is charged?

so no lights go green, it depends on the charger however in my experience all of the charger i have repaired have a green light to show fully charge, is it possible to try another charger ? this could imply a faultly charger , can you check the battery voltage anywhere from 26 volts DC to 28.3 volts DC no more otherwise you shorten the life of the battery. You really want the voltage level to be near 28 volts that way you will get maximum distance as well as prolonged life of the batteries in question.

Will the light turn green on the ht1000 charger when the battery is charged? how long does it take?

It depends on the type of charger, a rapid-charger would charge a battery in one hour or less and the green light would come on when battery fully charged. A slow charger will take up to 16 hours to charge a battery and has red light only.

I have a new Ryobi 18V Drill which came in a package from Screfix with two batteries. I charged one of the batteries to start with and when the green light came on I used it and immediately charged the...

Take it back to the store and tell them it is no good, and get a new pair of batteries, take the charger too. I had the same thing, brand new batteries, gone in weeks, they replaced them, no problem.

Green and red light comes on when i put battery in charger what does that mean?

Here is the manual:
http://toolboyworld.com/eBay/Ryobi_P120/P120_566_eng.pdf

Red = quick charge
yellow = evaluating
green = charged

CHARGING A COOL BATTERY PACK
If battery pack is within normal temperature range, the red LED on charger will come on.

Red LED should remain on for approximately 1 hour then the green LED will come on. Green LED on indicates battery pack is fully charged and charger is in maintenance charge mode.

Yellow & Green lights stay on,battery will not charge

I hooked a 12 volt car battery charger to the battery for about two min. Then I put it in it's own charger,the yellow & green lights came on for about 5 sec. then the red light came on . About 30 min. later the green light came on and the battery is fine.

Battery keeps dying

Most likely the charging circuitry has failed. When you fully charge the new battery what does the battery meter read on the camera? Your two options no matter what the case are repair vs. replacement. If you need further assistance let me know.
Thanks,
