Problem with charging batteries

[Mary]

When you charge your batteries at the wall plug, does the light normally keep flashing? I dont think it does usually, I think its usually red and then changes to green when ready. I have noticed today that it seems to be taking a long while for them to charge, the last one I did took ages and although it was still on red and flashing I have been able to use the e-cig. I think thats the only thing that I dont have a back up for........perhaps I need to get another though as ive had this one from when I started, and it seems to me like its on the blink.

When you buy that plug do you also get the extension thinghy that you plug your e-cig into?

Have you tried cleaning the battery and the charger connection?

[millerkev]

usually the red flickers when the battery is approaching full charge,,within 10 mins of the red flickering it should turn green

[Mary]

Yes Disco, I have cleaned them............ah, millerkev, perhaps its not broken at all then, perhaps I just havent noticed that they flash before.....................Thank you both

Mine flickers between red and green not long before fuly charged too

[Mary]

Oh thats ok then Malibu, it must just be that I hadnt noticed before.......thank you:)

One charger I had recently until I got a Nitecore did this. Started off with the odd green flash which increased till it was green virtually all of the time. I found it quite useful really.

They must all behave defferently then robby, as this was flashing red, still think I need to get another though, as I would hate to not have a working charger

Usually the light on my plug turns green about 5 minutes before the battery light. Occasionally, the battery light will flicker a little when it is nearly fully charged but that doesn't always happen.

I'm pretty sure that you buy the charger and plug separately. Sometimes I use my Kindle plug if I can't find the one I bought with my charger.

I should have said that it flashed ALTERNATELY red and green, but as it got nearer the end of the charge, the green flash was longer than the red flash until it was all green when it was fully charged

Try a usb instead of mains, my partner who uses a Riva 1100 has problems with mains but not usb.
