The old charger had 2 small lights on it. I don't see any on the new one. How do you know it's fully charged?

There is a light on it. I am not near it to check right. After I mow my lawns it is always ready the next morning. I leave it plugged in 24/7.

I just plug the batteries in for around 8 hours and use em. It works well for me. I hope this helps. I had also purchased new batteries and I charged them overnight the first time. GOOD LUCK

I have this charger (2nd one), the red light only appears when the battery is at its lowest charge and will begin flashing green as it charges up. When the green light stays on, you battery is fully charged.

Dear Aya, That's normal. The new charger blinks instead of having the steady red. After the full charge you will see a steady green light. Please contact our customer service if you have more questions. all the best, Team Tendlite

I think the easiest way to tell would be to time the charging of a set of batteries that you know is mostly charged vs. a set of batteries that is totally dead. If they both take the same amount of time before the light indicates they're done, then you have a dumb charger. If the almost-charged batteries take much less time, your charger is smart.

It indicates that it is actually charging. When the lighting bolt is gone and the "battery" icon is all green it is fully charged.

I haven't used it in a while, as I've been traveling but there should be an LED light on either the battery or the charger which turn off or turns green when finished charging. Charge it a full 24 hours the first time before using it.

The indicator light does change to show that the battery is fully charged. I haven't used my charger in a couple months. So, I don't recall exactly what the light does. If memory serves me well, it actually blinks red when charging, and shows solid green when it is done charging.

When the green light is on, this indicates that it is charging. When you plug in the the green light goes off.....that indicates that the charger is fully charged.

The charger has an indicator light that shows charge complete - but the batteries do not hold the charge

I haven't used my new Charger long enough to answer correctly, but it has a box at the bottom that tells you when the battery is full charged, it may turn green, but I cant verify that yet. sorry.

I think you should return the charger. Mine works for 20 to 30 min after charge. I don't remember the light thing as I haven't used it since late summer.

I haven't had to charge mine in a while, by my recollection is that when you plug in the charge a light on the side will be read (uncharged) and will turn green when the device is fully charged.

How can you tell if you have a dumb charger? Mine has one indicator light and nothing else, so if it's a timer it must only be internal.

It may not need to be charged. Unplug the charger and then press the On button on top of the unit. The number of LEDs that are on indicates the degree of charge. All 4 on means a full charge.

Is it completely discharged? How many lights are lit? Is it able to charge anything? If it were mine and I tried different solutions with no luck I would send it back for a new one. I got two ,gifted then to my son's and they say they are working great.

Mine has a red light that comes on and stays on while charging. I will update when it's done charging to let you know what it does.OK, after charging the red light went off. At that point I disconnected from the charger and reconnected it, the light came on for a second and went right back off so it looks like you're fully charged. Hope this helps and enjoy!!
