I went to charge my batteries tonight and found that soon after putting one in it would start flashing EE. Removing the battery, unplugging the USB, trying another battery, nothing worked and I started to panic and look at ordering a replacement urgently.
Then I noticed the USB-Battery Priority switch on the top, which is meant to set whether you want to prioritise charging the batteries or a USB device connected to the USB port on the charger. This was set to Battery already but I switched it to USB and now it's charging OK, so hopefully it will keep working like that. I never use the USB port anyway, so it doesn't really matter what the switch is set to.
I've had a few instances of this flashing EE error before but they've always been fixed by just reinserting the battery or replugging the USB lead, so I just put them down to glitches. Perhaps my unit is somewhat dodgy and this won't happen to anyone else but maybe this will help if it does.

Must admit I'd be buying another charger as a back up if nothing else doveman, they're not expensive items to buy . . . . I don't like taking chances with batteries or chargers. But that's just me as I know zilch about electricity other than it can be dangerous! |

Yeah, it's probably sensible to have a back-up just in case. In fact, whilst typing this the charger started flashing EE again, like it knew I was writing about it! So I definitely need to order another pronto.

I don't know if its built the same as my d2 charger but if it is they arnt made v well
mine was doing the flash fault so I took it apart cause I'm a nosey bugger
the springs for clamping the batt and suppling the negative part of the connection are soldered right on to the pcb(board bit with all the electricry parts on)
the solder joints had given up to the point the springs were no longer soldered ,just passing throw the board
reheated the existing solder to melt it back on to springs and its working perfick now
might be worth being nosey
