I have this. I did not use for 6 months did not charge it. But when I put it on charge the green light came on after ONLY 2 minutes. is something wrong with led lights?

Can I use the car cigar lighter outlet to charge this? I have to purchase a "cigar to cigar" cable I suppose?

Hello..there is a button you can push that tells you the current charge (right above the usb) Did you notice the current charge level prior to charging? It may have held the charge and didn't need recharging.. I've had mine in the back of my truck for months without charging. I love this thing..

As others have suggested, I'd check the voltage on the jumper cables with it plugged in, it should be around 14V if it is full. Then unplug it and check the voltage, it should drop to about 13V and hold there (or if it drops off below 12.5V, then it's not really charged). Then I'd try plugging in a light or such and turn it on to see if it will stay on reasonably, if the voltage drops way off with it on then again it's not accepted a good charge. You can try leaving it plugged in for 24 hours to see if it will recover, but if it was pretty heavily drained after you used it last it may not accept a charge (yet it's worth at least trying to get more use out of it before junking it).

If you died six months ago, would you expect to come back to life today? It's gone.

Check the voltage on the cables by using a voltage Meter when you turn it on.

Mine was working great after few hours charging. After a year and half, it did not charge like yours. I used to buy used one and used every week, so I gues it died. I used for long and good. But if it is new, then you need refund it

If the orange light only shows, I think that means that it's not fully charged. I think that you may still use it until the charge is completely out. The light should turn green after charged. There may be something wrong with your product.

I got the 2 i ordered about 5 days ago and when it charges the led light is yellow and when its down the led light completely turns off... I never seen a red led light before... You might want to search for a online manual or check your box you received it in for details

If you ran your copter for 5 minutes, the battery should definitely be low enough to need charging. So if there was never a green led while you had it plugged in for charging, then there is definitely something wrong with either the charger or the battery. I'm guessing it is the charger since you did get 5 minutes on the battery, but I could be wrong.

I'm having the exact same problem. Although my charger was somewhat inconsistent before it died completely. (For about a month the light would come on on the charger about 3/4 of the time when I plugged it in.)

I have a problem, that might be related and I wanted to ask people as well. When I put the battery in the charger (I have two), most of the time, even though the battery is empty, the charger shows green light and does not charge. I have to put the battery in slightly elevated angle and push on it and then it will start charging. So maybe your batteries were not charged at first place. Also happens to me, that the batteries discharge if not in use for 2-3 days, so before use I always recharge.

It may be just very dim. I've noticed that the flashing LED is hardly illuminated in a lighted room. It's kind of ironic that the light is super bright but the charging LED Is very dim. Could be that you have a defective model if the power button doesn't light at all.

Mine does the same thing. It is charged when I unplug it later. I wish the LED indicator would stay on.

First is the battery new or relative new? If the battery is older it could not be taking a charge, the green light will stay on until the battery is charged. Second, if the battery is relative new and the charger has been on it for 12-24 hours and still green then the charger most likely is defective. You will have a better idea than I because of the age of both the charger and the battery. Note: The chargers do go bad after just a few years and you will get the results you explained. Will be glad to help more if you wish to give more information due to age of each item. Of course it would be an opinion but an educated one, I am a certified electrician. Maybe this will help..... either one is bad news because you can purchase the whole unit as inexpensive as you can purchase a Charger or Battery!

I charged mine and when i went to sync it the green light stayed on. No matter what i try i cannot get it to beep or flash, light just stays solid green. I will be returning it.

That's definitely not normal. You should have a full charge after a few hours if plugged into 120V wall outlet. Either bad LED's or it's not charging properly.

Try to charge it again. The red charging light should lit. Goes off when charge completed. If the red light stay on for days that means the battery is not charging. Remember the LED lights only turn on in "DARK" when unplug from outlet or no electricity. The unit is designed for emergency usage (no electricity , total darkness). LED lights won't turn on under daylight or normal room light. Call them for replacement if you think it is defective. I have half dozen of these for three years. And they still working in good order. I hope they will last for couple more years.

I have had mine a couple of months now, and the red charge light stays on all the time. Before you send theses back, consider plugging into another outlet in your house. Good Luck:))

I left mine on charge for several days. The light never turned green. The light on the charger went out, and now nothing works. Evidently, at these prices they do not include technology to stop the charger from over charging the battery. I will be attempting to return mine forthwith.

About 2 months ago I purchased 18 of these units. When charging them all, I initially found that only 4 of the 18 green lights on the chargers came on and the rest remained off. However, I verified that although the green light was not on, the battery was still being charged as expected (the charger was working fine, but the Green LED just wasn't working). As time went on more green lights would come on, somewhat sporadically it seemed - but all the chargers were still charging. It's certainly inconvenient. As a result, I measure the voltage on each battery after charging to verify that it reached capacity. About 2 months ago I purchased 18 of these units.

The battery was low in charge, and the charger is not very powerful. Mine charged with the indicator red for about that long when I first used it. I'd give it at least 10 hours to turn green unless the battery gets hot (in which case its bad and needs replacement).
