Like the others, I did not have good results with this item & returned it. (On the positive side, I received a refund promptly & with no push-back; I think the supplier knows the quality of this product.As a substitute, I ordered RAVPower® Dual Desktop Charger Cradle for Samsung Galaxy S4 S IV - Support Charging Spare Battery (Black Color, Spare Battery Charger, Detachable Case Plate, Compatible without or with a Slim-Fit Case) which has been a great find; I recommend it.

When it's charging it's red, when it's charged its blue. Either you plugged it in wrong or it's defective.

The Contact Have To Touch properly, the positive and negative. You know this is done correctly when the light is pink, then it becomes blue when a complete charge is achieved. If it starts at blue you know it not mounted correctly.

There should be two positive/negative contact markings on the battery. Make sure those line up with the contacts on the charger. The light should turn purple once an uncharged battery is put in correctly. When not charging a battery the light will be blue. Here's a picture: http://imgur.com/uYFAktx . It's upside down in that photo to accomodate my other plugs, but you can see how the battery is oriented.

If you started with a fully charged battery and ran on hi setting how soon, if ever, would the power degrade to the point where brightness was affected? I have never tried it so I don't know for certain. The spec sheet says it will put out 5000 lumens (brightest setting) for one hour 15 minutes.The charger output is 2 A.The battery rated output is 5200 mAH.The charging time Is about four hours. So you could calculate but. if it didn't work you could use back up battery pack(s). You have me curious now about what kind of an application would allow you to have it plugged in to AC four hours.

My original battery fits fine in this charger. I bought it in mid-October. Did you get yours before then?

Had that happen once. Of course, always Make sure the negative end of the battery is inserted into the spring. Never try to charge it throughout the night. It messes up both charger and battery. It burns the cells of the battery if kept long in there fully charged. The charger you have takes a while to charge. It is low voltage so not that much juice is delivering into your battery. This is a very good battery I used it for my vaper "ecig" and can last for a few days without charge. Hope this helps.

I know this sounds stupid but make sure the battery is inserted properly and that it is in all the way. My charge time has been 10-20 minutes. My original battery charge lasted 6 months.

First thing would be to determine if your charger is bad. Do you have an old battery that when you put the charger on it the light comes on? If it does come on, then the charger is probably ok. You could also, if you have one, take a volt meter and see if your charger is supplying a charge.

I called the Samsung company, and he told me to keep it plugged in the wall, and eventually it was a steady light and it started to charge. I let it charge for a while and it was totally charged. So try this before you go out and buy a new battery.

had the same problem at first but I discharged it completely then left it on changer overnight, about 4 hours more past the light turning green. Now it holds a charge long enough for 2 trims. DO NOT leave it on charge any longer than that.

I would guess you just got a defective battery. My experience has been fantastic. I use it almost every night. The beam is brighter than any comparable flashlight I've ever owned. I haven't ever had any problem with the battery holding a charge, and it lasts for a long time. Did you charge it fully before use? You should have. Also, the instructions say to plug it back into the charger after every use. I do this even if I only use it for two or three minutes. Unless you've had it a long time, Black and Decker is pretty good about standing behind their warranties. I'd give them a call.

Thanks everyone. However, I KNEW I where to press to turn it on. My problem was I charged it for 16 hours and when I pressed the button it did NOTHING. I messed around with it and then took the chance on charging it for about 12 more hours. I put it on the charger and smashed it in real hard and now I think it's working. Maybe I didn't have it fully in the charger. It seems weird that it just sits in there with no connection port. We'll see. I appreciate everyone taking the time to try and help. Happy Holidays.

The battery fits best if you slide it into the charger from the side vs. trying to place it in as you would do with your phone. The batteries do seem a bit large, but they will fit. Make sure the metal contacts in the charger are touching those on the battery. In my case, it means the front side of the battery is facing the rear of the charger. But this doesn't matter; if the metal contacts are touching, the charger will light up once it's plugged into the wall with a purple/pink light. Battery is charged when the light turns blue. Good luck.

The battery might just be fully charged. That was the case with mine.Use the battery a bit then plug it back into the charger. Make sure the charger is plugged into the USB port.

Not sure myself which one is faulty.My battery light was flashing so I put in the spare battery that has been on the charger for a week and it was not charged-So dead battery(purchased new with the camera) or Charger also purchased new with Camera. I am leaning towards Charger/Battery

You have to make sure your negative and positive post line up in the charger but once you get the battery in the charger plugged into the wall. Then when it's finished charging the light should turn blue

Well, when I tried to charge my battery, it immediately stopped. The red light on the charger went off after two seconds. So, I just used my old charger. The old one worked fine, the red light stayed on until the battery was charged.

Could be an internal problem. Try plugging it in for a while and attempt to turn it on while it is charging. The blue light should come on when you plug it in and after you turn it on it will show you your battery capacity. Hope this helps.

After I installed the new battery, it already had a charge (I don't remember how much) but it was sufficient to work for a day or so. Then I just put the phone on a charger and it worked fine. I noted that I actually got LONGER battery life from the replacement than I ever had with the original - but that's because it has more mAmp hour storage. So if your battery does not charge up after install, I suspect there may be another issue with the way it was put in.
