Not charging... I have 2 headsets and am using a known good charger. Neither of them are showing the red charge indicator light. The booklet does not say anything about an initial longer charging time. Please help :)

have you replaced battery?
1. charger is not working
2. battery is bad.

Leave it plugged in for 4 hours. Yello should turn red then green when fully charged

Hi, Ephraim. The flashing red light indicates that the device is showing "low battery". It could be that the LG phone charger fits the charging port on your bluetooth headset but it is not compatible with your device. In order for you to know that it is charging, the device should show a steady red light(means charging).
Please take a look at the table reference below.

tones.
2.Turn off the headset Press and hold the call control button until the

If none of this is helpful then it may be that your battery is dead, if that is the case then you will need to replace the whole headset. The battery's are not replaceable.

Good luck from Headsets Direct!

Normally if you have a VXi, B250-XT on its charger and you are seeing both a Green and Red light the headset is changin over from charging to fully charged. The headset is designed to be able to use while it is on the charger however once you place it on the charger you must turn it on to reconnect to your phone before you can do this. Put the headset on and press the Multifunction Button for 2 to 3 seconds, you should hear two rising tones and the headset should reconnect with your phone. Note* your phone may require you to accept the connection request.
If the headset will not turn on either on or off the charger I recommend calling VXi at 800-742-8588 for warranty repair information. A headset that will not turn on indicates the unit is having an issue with one of its control circuits.

Make sure that the headset is properly charged before following the instructions below.Please follow the detailed instructions in the correct manner to successfully pair your Nokia E71 with the BH-208 Headset.
Charge the battery
The headset has an internal, non removable, rechargeable battery.Do not attempt to remove the battery from the device, as you may damage the device.
1. Connect the charger to a wall outlet.
2. Connect the charger cable to the charger connector. The red indicator light is on while charging.
It may take a while before charging
Switch the headset on or off
To switch on, press and hold the power key until the headset beeps and the green indicator light is displayed. To switch off, press and hold the power key until the headset beeps and the red indicator light is displayed briefly.
Pairing the headset
1. Ensure that your phone is switched on and the headset is switched off.
2. Press and hold the power key until the green indicator light starts to flash quickly.
3. Activate the Bluetooth feature on the phone, and set the phone to search for Bluetooth devices.
4. Select the headset from the list of found devices.
5. Enter the passcode 0000 to pair and connect the headset to your phone. In some phones you may need to make the connection separately after pairing. You only need to pair the headset with your phone once.
If the pairing is successful, the headset beeps and appears in the phone menu where you can view the currently paired Bluetooth devices.The headset is now ready for use.
Hope you are satisfied with my solution.Your valuable feedback would be appreciated.Thanks for choosing Fixya.

Here's the instructions for charging.
Plug the Motorola charger into the end of
the headset.
The indicator light turns red when the battery is charging. It may take up to 1 minute for the indicator light to turn on. When the headset's battery is fully charged (about 2hours), the indicator light turns green.

From your information, it may very well be that the battery should be replaced if the red light doesn't go off as it should.

Here's a link to the full instructions. I hope this helps.

According to the instructions provided by the operator manual...

"Connect the charger to the charging port.
- When the charger is connected, with the power on or off,
the Headset will turn off automatically, and cannot be used.
While charging, the LED indicator will show a solid blue light.
- The buttons will not function while the device is charging.
- It takes 2 hours to fully charge the Headset.
- When charging is complete, the LED indicator will turn off.

Sometimes it takes longer than two hours. Leave it plugged in overnight if you can. The indicator light should go off after fully charging.
