Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Charger LED is flashing red. | Defective battery, non-rechargeable battery, or incorrect polarity. | Remove the battery. Check if it's a NiMH rechargeable battery and ensure correct polarity. If the issue persists with a known good battery, the charger may be faulty. |
| Batteries are not charging or charging slowly. | Batteries are old/worn out, charger not properly plugged in, or environmental temperature is too high/low. | Ensure the charger is securely plugged in. Try charging fewer batteries at a time. If batteries are very old, they may need replacement. Ensure the charger is in a room temperature environment. |
| Batteries get hot during charging. | Normal during fast charging, but excessive heat indicates a problem. | If batteries become excessively hot to touch, remove them immediately. This could indicate a defective battery. Ensure proper ventilation around the charger. |
| Batteries do not reach full charge when charging multiple simultaneously. | Variations in battery condition or charge level, or a specific charger characteristic. | If you suspect batteries are not fully charged, try charging them individually after the initial multi-battery charge cycle. This can ensure each battery reaches its maximum capacity. |
