Air Hog Pocket Copter won't charge

If this was the original charger for the air hog copter and it just started to fail in recharging , there must be a faulty part inside the charger that is causing the problem, staying red light during charging period and never turns to green or other color to show that it was charged is one problem but when it also shuts off after 30 seconds without charging definitely shows a faulty part or parts inside the charger. To check this out you can try another good charger which you can borrow from a friend to see if it would charge your copter or you can take it to the store where you bought the copter , they may be able to confirm the fault on your charger, if it can be fixed or needs a replacement.

Red light flashing on charger

A red light indicates the charger is charging the battery, an amber light means it has switched from fast rate charging to trickle to keep the battery topped off, and green would mean the battery is completely charged. But don't be fooled waiting for green, many times the charger will only be on green for a moment before changing to amber and keeping the battery topped off.

Flashing can be a sign of a problem on some chargers.

A rapid flashing red can on some chargers indicate a bad or shorted battery, or a bad battery contact in the charger itself. If in question, try a different battery on the charger or compare with another charger to determine if the blinking is normal.

Best regards.

What does it mean when my worx battery charger has a solid red light.

according to manualslib type site for the wg540, solid red means charging for the wa3840 and wa3838. After 30 minutes if battery has not reached 10 volts (of 18), the red will begin flashing meaning defective.
Just green? Ready to go. Green flashing? Overheat.
Tangent; sometimes a discharged battery needs a little coaxing - have to get a little voltage into the battery for charger to try to charge. Different company, electric drill. I plead ignorance if this applies for the 3840 since they mention the half an hour time.

What to do when your vectron wave is blinking red and green at the same time while charging.

When you attach the charger the wrong way round it will flash red and green. Turn it around and it will just flash red. Then when charged it will go orange.

I have a black and decker grass hog weed eater. It has an 18amp battery and charger. Is the red light on the charger supposed to be on only when it is charging ? or when it is already fully charged?

The red light means it needs charging - some will come on while it is charging - but it should be green when fully charged.

Havoc heli will not charge

As far as the green light on the charger not coming on: after I tested the batteries in the remote, I found that it was due to 2 of the 6 batteries in the remote control being dead (0.1volts) The charger probably sucks the power out of the #1 and #6 battery.

Make sure all batteries in the Remote have the same charge.

Also, there seems to be a loose contact in the charger plug prongs. You will have to find a way to sit the helicopter so that it stays in contact with the prongs while charging. Mine has to be on it's side to keep the green charger light on.

Good luck!

I had a Storm Launcher battery that was unused for sometime and when I plugged it in to the charger, the light flashed red. I checked the voltage of the pack and it was down around 2.5V....from 7.4V. I figured the "smart charger" thought it had a dead or shorted cell and wouldn't kick in the charging circuit. I McGyver'd the two probes and alligator clips to connect the pack to a 9V. NiCad "dumb" charger. The light came on showing a charge and I left it for 5 mins. Unhooked it and checked the voltage. It was now 5 volts...supposed to be 7.4...but much better than 2.5. Plugged the pack into the AirHogs charger and the green light started flashing, indicating a charge. Later I got the double-flashing and 10 minutes after that FULL charge! Just needed a boost to start the smart charger.
