How do we tell if the battery is discharged? Our transmitter does not seem to come on--the light never turns red or green. 12/31/12--we went to a battery store and had the battery that came with it tested. It was discharged, so we bought a new battery...

On mine the light is always red and I know the battery is dying whenever that red light starts blinking on the piece that is attaches to my camera (The smaller squared one)

That is odd. Did you let it sit for a while? I remember blinking lights for sometime before the constant green light came on.I'd contact Amazon or the manufacturer to see if you can exchange it. Personally, I love mine and even gave one to my best friend for her birthday. I use DuraCell batteries.

Hi David, The battery is reachargeable on the receiver and the transmitter and you should expect to get hundreds or recharges on both batteries. The transmitter and receiver batteries are replaceable and the manufacturer recommends that you do not open the transmitter or receiver until you receive the replacement battery pack. If you have other questions please let us know. Thanks, EZDogFences

Dead batteries should not show any bars; good ones should. Are you sure the batteries are dead? I had some I thought were bad, but it turned out that the battery contacts inside the hearing aid had gotten bent down; I gently straightened them a little and the batteries I thought were bad worked.

Yes the mfg date of 7/26/2013 are defective, just received my fifth unit, all of them were bad, no power to switch, Greenworks kept sending units with this date. They sent a replacement yesterday and told me the unit had been tested, not so, a authorized service center checked it out and was also defective? The battery showed to have power.

Do you have new batteries in both? Sometimes the battery dies if you accidentally leave it on or don't take the batteries out of the transmitter.

After the first charged I unplugged the radio from the outlet. the battery was defective because it never reached its maximum charge capability, I thought it could be the radio but I can't tell until I get another battery from the GRACE. I sent the battery back since its under a year warranty after I get my new battery I will keep you posted.

Sorry to question your capabilities ... have you ensured that the batteries are all in the slots, in the right direction? My original batteries were dead, as sent by the manufacturer. But the new ones tested fully charged, and I was careful to place them in the slots as indicated by the arrows.Give that a shot and see.

May be the transmitter is not charging properly. Check the Charger to the transmitter.

I think you may have gotten a defect battery because I only charged mine for an hour or 2 when I first got it. (I disconnected it because the charged light turned green) and I was able to use it all day yesterday and today. I still haven't gotten the low batter indicator.

usually i plug it in and the green light comes up and i can see the battery symbols for the respective slots i put the battery in flash with an indication. if the batteries show up already full, the batteries might either be fully charged or no good.

If the green light is on, the battery is good. They say you should clean the unit out with a can of air once a year. If you do that and the green light is one, contact the manufacturer and they will help you.

If it is charged, soon after you plug it in you will see the green light blink. That is as much charge your going to get. Charge it near you, keep eye on it. When a battery is no good it might start to blink but you won't be able to turn it on. After you have a full charge, run the battery all the way down, make sure it's real low, that way when you charge it up you train the battery for long life. Good Luck, Kris If you have any problems email me at kristophergeorgeking@gmail.com, i will help you!

Hey Bob, try opening transmitter battery box and wiggle the batteties. Sometimes they don't all make contactHey Bob, try opening the battery box on the transmitter. Wiggle the batteries. Sometimes they don't make good contact. If u used the batteries they supplied maybe they don't have enough juice Try those and see if it helps. I find that quite often.

My indicator does the same , but stops once I start moving forward. ( not sure why ) . My indicator does not give me a true reading to the battery charge . The lights run from green to red , red being that you require a charge . On mine I get the level down by three to four lights ( never reaches the red and I need to charge her up. ( and the batterys are brand new ) !

On my unit the light is red, and it starts flashing red when I place a drained battery into it for charging. Once the battery is charged it turns green and stays green until I remove the battery to use it.

Aimee, My remote never lit up, except for the small green light under the channel (A/B) switch. That's the battery indicator and I know you've switched the batteries in the remote. It's very possible there's a loose wire/damaged circuit. One of two things you can do. If you're adventurous (and lucky), open up the panels on the remote and look inside to see if there are any loose wires, connections, etc. If you're smart, get in touch with customer service at Amazon. It's possible you received a dud and it just needs replacing. I know it's a hassle but this "toy" is really a lot of fun. Let me know how it goes!
