The red light on the charger does not come on when battery is fully charged, even when leaving on the charger for 2 hr. Is the charger defective?

The charger should light-up when plugged into computer or power source AND not plugged into copter. That's the first test.Ensure you have a good connection at the copter. Your copter battery could be worn-out - is copter old ? Otherwise I would agree the charger is bad.

You can check that the helicopter is ready by turning it on. When it is time to charge again follow the charging directions in the manual. Try to by another helicopter with shorter charging times.

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:))

My red light eventually goes off. I have not had any issues. I typically charge the battery for a couple hours - less may work. Not sure.

How long did you charge it? Sometimes it has to charge a while, even over night if it has been out a long time. Then it might make a red light first. LET GO and wait a few minutes and it may turn green. if these quirks don't fix, I don't know what else to suggest.

There is a red light on the charger that is lit while it is plugged in. The light does not turn off when charged.

Yes, when I charge the battery the light shows a full charge, but the battery is still dead.

Then there is something wrong with it. It should only take a few hours to fully charge. I don't know any other way other than with the charger it comes with. Sorry

Is sounds like it is defective. Mine charges and the red light goes out and turns on real easy.

The red light should turn on. Perhaps you don't have it set well? That happened to me. It took some twisting and turning to get the light to come on. Check the phone. It should show the phone charging if it is working properly.

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.

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!!

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.

My red indicator light never has gone off. I am not actually sure of this, but I simply leave the charger plugged in (AC mode) in the evening, then take it out of the charger next morning. I don't see any indication of overcharging or battery memory developing.

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.

All I can tell you is that my charger red light doesn't turn off either.???

The first time I tried to charge mine it did the same thing, I moved around the charger connection to get the red light to stay on, you may have to unplug an plug in again to get the red light to stay on. The other issue that causes problems is the delay between getting a good connection and when the red light actually comes on. Plug it in and wait a few seconds to see that the red light comes on and stays on.

There is a light on the charger that changes color when the battery is fully charged. Usually, if the battery was totally discharged it will take one to two hours to fully charge.
