New Battery Is it ok to charge a brand new battery for the first time with an optimate or do i need a normal charger? not sure because the optimate drains a battery before it charges it.
Didn't know about the 'drain before charge' with an optimate. That is how I did mine......filled with acid stuck on the Optimate........charged in about 4 hours IIRC.....(green lights). ,

When a Dewalt charger is showing a fast blinking red light it means the battery is no longer chargeable. It may be because of a bad cell or short inside the battery. Whatever the reason the charger will not charge the battery and it needs to be replaced.
To charge battery, use a trickle charger at 2 amp. Batteries usually only last about 3 years, so if battery is at that age it probably needs replaced. (Replaced my battery with a lawn mower battery that matched the original battery size.) I would try to get a charge on the battery before replacing it. Replacing the battery could be expensive. Battery could also be low on zinc, water, or acid.
I got a brand new 170 battery for my studio 1737 . Now the battery has charged, but I plug it in and the window says battery plugged in, but not charging
Did you charge it first? You need a good initial charge. Depending on the charger, it could be about 6 hours.
Also, remove the battery and check the metal contacts on the top and make sure that they are not covered by anything. Some come with a film to protect them.
normally many cell phones requires 6-10hrs for its batter to fully charge up. also i have seen it where battery can be brand new but doesn't have enough juice to hold the charge. now as far as red light on charger, remember even if you have 99% charged batter and you plug in the charger it will show you red light on phone/cradle.
FYI- all brand new phones are covered with 30 days of warranty replacement with new phone. after 30 days it covers upto 1 year from the date of purchase with refurbished phones.
In your case i think it is just the battery, try having your provider replacing new battery if no luck again then my suggestion will be to replace your phone with new battery with in 30 days.
