Battery flashing when charging why? - Casio EXILIM ZOOM EX-Z60 Digital Camera

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.

All I can see is that your charger is flashing red. There wasn't any brand mentioned. Most battery chargers flash green when in charging mode, solid green when charging is complete and flashing red when there is an issue with the battery/batteries being charged. Rechargeable batteries don't last forever (usually 200-300 charges) and perhaps this is the case with yours. Also, if you are using imported batteries (China), that would be a major red flag!

usually fast flashing charge is faulty battery its trying to get volts in to the battery. you see the battery has a charging board on the battery not in the camera the camera sends the volts to the battery and the battery tells the camera its voltage, and when at the right volts stops charging. but these batteries can only be charged to around 10000hrs depending on the type of battery. you see when you get a new battery you need to charge it before use, now this can be 6hrs to 12hrs for fist time use if you interrupted the charge or have a power cut while it charges it can damage the charging chip in the battery. if this does the flashing light on other batteries then the signal is not being read by the camera and the camera can be faulty on the charging circuit, usually (sometimes) removing the battery for a few hours can fix this but it will rest the camera. hope this helps you.

Charles,
The battery turns on steadily or blinks to indicate battery charge status.
If the computer is connected to an electrical outlet, the light operates as follows:

• Solid blue - The battery is charging.
• Flashing blue - The battery is almost fully charged.

If the computer is running on a battery, the light operates as follows:

• Off - The battery is adequately charged, or the computer is turned off.
• Flashing orange - The battery charge is low.
• Solid orange - The battery charge is critically low

try leaving the camera on to drain the battery down, then try charging it again.. or could be a bad battery

Clean your battery contacts on the battery and charger with a pencil eraser to assure good contact. Flashing red or flashing in general usually is the sign of a too low to charge battery, a shorted battery or a bad connection. In some instances, a battery will begin to charge once left on the flashing charger for an hour or so. Try this and see if the light becomes constant. If so, it is charging. If it still flashes, replace the battery.

Best regards.

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.

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.

That usually indicates battery is beginning to go bad. Eventually it will not hold a charge and will need to be replaced.
