■ Technical Issue: a flashing red LED light on
the charger indicates that battery pack has a
charging problem or might be defective.
- One possible condition is the battery
temperature is not within the charging
temperature range of 35.6°F - 109.4°F or
the charging current is too high. As soon as
the permitted temperature and the charging
current ranges are reached, the battery
charger will automatically switch to charging.
- If the temperature range and charging
current are correct and flashing red LED
light continues, then remove and reinstall
the battery pack. If the LED status repeats a
second time, try to charge another identical
battery. If the battery charges normally,
dispose of the defective battery pack (see
Environmental Safe Battery Disposal section).
- If the flashing red light continues after
installing the second battery, the charger may
be defective. Replace with a new one.
■ After continuous or repeated charging
cycles without interruption, the charger
may warm up. This is normal and does not
indicate a technical defect of the battery
charger.
