The light should be flashing red and will turn green when the battery is charged.

you need to wait for the battery to cool.

Its pretty simple to fix. The lithium battery has just depolarized. Just buy a 9V battery.... put them end to end... the 9V and the lithium and touch the metal parts of them. hold for 20 seconds... if it doesn't work, lick the 9V to conduct the electricity better.. hold for 20 seconds and put directly on the charger... I just did this, and it is charging as we speak! good luck!

try pitting battery in charge and wiggle the battery a little to see if the green light comes on, sometimes the make contact and then loose it when you let go of the battery.if still same problem charger is probbly dead.

This isn't true because I have a second charger and it works fine
SOURCE: my dc18ra makita battery charger flashes red and green lights no matter how many bateries i try
The pcb inside the battery has a microcontroller that monitor the charges and charge cycle. When the cell falls below a certain voltage, it will instruct the charger not to charge and will show with a red-green flashing light. If the battery has been tried 3 times in succession then the pcb will brick itself from the makita charger. So first replace the bad cells. There are 2 solutions at this moment: charge with a 3rd party lithium charger like the imax b6 or replace the pcb with a working one. check out my blog on http://mkbl1830.blogspot.com/
