Why battery light flashes? - Dell Inspiron 6000 Notebook

A flashing battery light while driving on your Polaris 700 EFI could indicate a problem with the charging system. Here are a few possible causes:

1. Faulty alternator: The alternator is responsible for charging the battery while the engine is running. If the alternator isn't working properly, the battery won't receive a sufficient charge and the battery light may flash.
2. Loose or corroded battery connections: If the battery connections are loose or corroded, the battery won't be able to receive a full charge from the alternator.
3. Failed voltage regulator: The voltage regulator regulates the output of the alternator. If the voltage regulator fails, it can cause the battery light to flash.
4. Failed battery: If the battery is failing, it may not be able to hold a charge even when it's being charged properly.

It's a good idea to have your Polaris 700 EFI checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose and fix the problem.

I would take note of the message you are getting and buy a new battery. I believe the red flashing lights mean that one or more of the cells in the battery are dying, and it's best not to turn off alarm lights like these. Did the battery hold charge for a longer period than one hour before you started to see the flashing light warning?

Doggy count the number of flashes ie 4 flashes pause 4 flashes if you are not getting any pauses
what lights are flashing the battery level lights or the speed lights? Are all the battery level lights flashing or there are 3,4,5,6 or 7 etc. lights flashing? if you are getting a pause between flashes the number of flashes will tell you the error. Your owners manual should tell what each code means. Hope this helps

Since it sounds like an issue with the Power first try to release flea power.Disconnect the charger,remove battery,press and hold down the power button for 30 seconds.Reconnect the battery and charger.Turn on system and check if it turns on. For further help please check Dell Inspiron 1525 Manual. Also confirm if the light on the charger stays on,when connected to the system.

According to the owners manual for these swimming pool lights, this is what each colored indicator means. Hope this helps.


Solid green
The battery pack is fully charged.
Slow flashing green
The battery pack is almost fully charged.
Slow flashing yellow
The battery pack is half charged.
Medium flashing yellow
The battery pack is less than half charged.
Fast flashing yellow
The battery pack has almost no charge.
Fast flashing red
A charging error has occurred and the light should be unplugged and then plugged back in. If the Fast Flashing Red persists after several attempts, the battery condition is questionable.



Also in the trouble shooting guide, it mentions this:


Problem: Red Indicator Light Is Flashing While Charging

Solution:
A red flashing indicator light when charging indicates a selftest
error condition. Unplug the product and plug it in again.
Try this several times; if the indicator light continues to flash
red, unplug the GlowBuoy and take it to an authorized service
depot.

We had the same problem. I figured out it was NOT the main battery, but the auxilary battery. The batter life WITH the auxiliary was 68% total, when I removed the 2nd battery the battery life shot back up to 98% AND the flashing orange / red lights were gone (both on the power source and off). I then replaced the auxiliary battery with a spar back up to make SURE that it was not a fluke and with the new backup battery firmly in place the lights still did not flash. Problem solved.

I have had three different laptops, last one an XPS from DELL which did the same thing. Replacing the battery solved all three laptops. How old is the battery you have in there now?

Ok the lightning bolt is your power indicator: solid green-charging, Flashing green-fully charged, flashing red-low battery, flashing red three times the once green-bad battery. the "trash can" looking one is your hard drive activity indicator it will flash while your hard drive is reading and writing.

I have a 97 subaru outback and encountered the same problem. It is a security device on all newer subaru's. After changing or charging the battery, leave the negetive battery cable disconnected. Turn the key to the "on" position, then reconnect the negative terminal. This will stop the flashing.
