THE BATTERIES DIE IN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES AFTER A FULL CHARGE.THE RED LIGHT ON TOP BLINKS RED WHILE THE SPOTLIGHT WILL STROBE A FEW TIMES THEN QUIT WORKING.
My guess is the batteries are probably no good. All batteries will only last so long and it also depends how often they are keep charged and discharged. Basically all batteries require some kind of maintenance (recharging / discharging).

To take the charge the inbuilt battery must be functional. Once the battery goes bad you will be unable to charge the unit or it will take a small charge and die rapidly thereafter.
You may or may not be able to change the battery. It depends on the manufacturer of the product so you should consult the instructions that came with the item if you still have them.
hi ,there are two parts to batteries holding power and preforming well, firstly how good are the batteries, secondly how good is the charger ?, good batteries and a bad charger will make the batteries appear bad...
0) Obviously, helicopter will operate best when fully charged... if
charging light gets brighter when unplugged from helicopter, then it's
not at full charge. Charge fully, then allow battery to cool for 10
minutes. Good batteries in remote also. 1) Power on helicopter. 2)
Place on level surface and let gyroscopes sync. There is a red light
inside the body (NOT the red/blue flasher in the nose) that will blink
when you turn helicopter on, and will keep blinking until craft is level
and stable for a few seconds, then will stop blinking. 3) Make sure left joystick is all the way down. 4) Power on remote. 5) Throttle up (left joystick) until blades move and then all the way back down. This should get you flying. Let me know r
ggirl why did you buy a pig in the poke they should refund your money because the batteries should have a six month warranty. Now always ask for the date code on batteries you are buying they shouldn't be any older than 4 months old. There are good batteries out there but if I offend anyone I'm sorry but MK batteries are very good also Interstate batteries and probably others that I'm not aware of. The best way to insure good batteries are buying fresh batteries, Charge them before you use the chair and always get into the habit of charging overnite if you use the chair daily. Never leave the charger plugged in more that 12 hours and if you don't use the chair daily charge at least once a week and always put up fully charged. Mk recommends charging the batteries daily for the first 20 days. Never run the batteries or let them fall below the red light on your battery level indicator. Your chair runs on about a 5 volt range (26-21 volts) after that the red light blinks like crazy. If it falls below 20 volts the charger will not charge the batteries. If you take care of them they should last you 3 years or more. Hope this helps
rechargeable batteries can build a memory, if you use it say for 5 minutes and then put it back on the charger - then the next time you use it for 5 screws and put it back on the charge - see where I am going Over time the rechargeable batteries "learn" they only have to work for 5 minutes ( dang my son was that way) You need to fully drain them and recharge them fully several times might take 10 times. We have a program in our shop that when you are done with a battery it goes in the flashlight until dead, dead, dead then to the charger. I have batteries that are 10 years old and still work almost like new. You may have to replace yours but it is worth a try
It should take 10-12 hours, any longer the battery is no good, you can test the battery using a Volt Meter, the battery should be reading 12 volts, any less and the battery will need to be replaced. You can order a new one from Black and Decker, they purchased Vector in 2006, here is the link; http://www.dewaltservicenet.com/servicenet_home.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1
The green light on the charger usually indicates that the batteries are fully charged and you are ready to go. Does the controller show the batteries are fully charged? Can you operate the power wheel chair for several hours? If so, you are good to go.
When you connect the charger, if the light goes to red to green within a few minutes and the battery power does not last more than 1-2 hours or less, it may indicate that that the batteries will not take a charge anymore and need to be replaced.
