RedVolt Batteries and Charger - Issues

[dennys bisogno]

I may have a problem?

Yesterday while charging my revolt, my red travel charger unit started to flash-blink RED/GREEN. I look at the manual and it states it means "Charger ON, fail condition" Unfortunately it does not provide any more info.

Now when I plug a redvolt it blinks RED, which is a problem since that is no documented at ALL!


Red Solid = Charger ON, no battery connected

Yellow Flashing = Charger ON, battery connected and charging

Green Solid = Charger ON, battery fully charged

Red/Green Alternate Flashing = Charger ON, fail condition

Your battery was too hot. It must be cooler before it will start charging.

Thank you Laco,

Did you mean that the RED/GREEN flashing means the battery was too hot?

By the way, the RED blinking is happening when I place the redvolt from my storage compartment to the charger - do yo know what RED blinking means? is not in the manual / does RED blinking mean is not charging?

The red/green flashing means there is a an unspecified charging problem. But, in my experience, being too hot is a very likely reason. Let it cool before you attach it. Then, slip it firmly but gently into place.

Thanks guys, I now realize me taken everything literally was part of the problem :001_unsure:

The Yellow flashing on the documentation, seems now to be RED flashing (different color LED) but nevertheless it was charging

THX!

Yea, the same thing happens to me quite often... Not sure why it does, but i just take it off and put it back on and seems to be fine.
