Stock charger sucks and it charges slowly. Buy an after market charger, the X1 is a good cheap charger.

My guess is that the battery is fully charged. If that's not the case then you need to call horizon hobby and they will probably send you a replacement charger.

According to the manual on page 5 it says the red and green light blinking at the same time means it's balance charging. When the light goes solid green it is fully charged. Have you tried letting it go for a while and see if it goes solid green with no red?

HI - I am not an expert.....not even a novice....but we aslso bought these and when they are charging from any active USB port (i.e. - is your computer or TV turned on?) --it should blink red as it is charging and then green when fully charged......If not ...it is defective. Good luck

I had the same problem. My first attempt at solving it was to order a new charger from Newton. It seems to have solved it for now, although now I have to keep is continually charging to keep the charge level in the green area. I'm not sure why.

I would conclude that the charger is defective. I used mine yesterday and the lights worked correctly.

OK Susie P., so you've used the battery until it is completely exhausted and now it won't recharge, correct? If you have checked to make sure there is power to the charger, the charger light should glow red when no battery is inserted, red while the battery is charging (a couple hours) then green when the battery is fully charged. If the charger glows red and you never get to a green light, then the battery is defective and should be returned for an exchange/refund.

Mine displays a Red light on the inside, when charging. Once fully charged the light simply goes out (not green).

I'm having the same trouble with mine......it just flashes a red battery warning symbol and won't take a charge no matter how long it's on the charger.

From all I can tell, he red light is supposed to be solid when charging. If flashing, it could indicate a charging error (bad/defective battery), or a faulty charger. I would suspect the battery first. Good luck.

The charger is a little lose it happend to me TONSSS OF TIMES. All you have to do is make sure the end piece is plugged in extra tight and wait for the blue light to go on. If that doesnt work then you might want to replace it.

When you plug it in with a dead battery, the light should be red., When it is done charging, the light will be green. If your charger does not do this, you have a bad charger. I had bought a lower priced model, and it did not work. So be sure to get a quality charger.

When I place battery in charger it is red. When charged it turns blue and battery comes out. Mine does not flash.

Never had that problem. Try to use the battery and see how long it will last then you'll know if the charger is working properly, and if the batteries are fully charged or not.

Make sure the power is off. A red light will come on while charging. I used the USB plug on my desk top in order to charge.

Try a different cable, or a different charger, maybe discharge it completely and recharge.

The red light should go off when fully charged. If it doesn't you could have a defective battery that never reaches full charge. Try another battery before you conclude that it is a charger problem.

Same thing has happened to me. What I did was wait and tried again, held power button down. I also made sure charge was full. When u plug in charger there is a small red light. Be worried if the red light doesn't show

My guess would be the battery. From my experience the charger either charges or it doesn't. The battery on the other hand can degrade and lose the ability to charge
