Mouse blinks red even when it's placed in the charger
For some reason, my mouse continues to blink red even after I've placed it in the charger. The light should turn green to indicate that it's being charged.

What do the battery lights mean on my mouse?
Some keyboard and mouse models feature a battery light that shows the current status of the batteries. The following table describes the different lights and states.

Device is docked in the charging station, but there is a charging error. Reasons for errors: The wrong type of battery is installed; the battery or batteries are missing; or the battery connection is bad. Solutions: Make sure that the correct battery or batteries are installed, and are installed correctly. If necessary, remove the batteries, wipe them with a clean cloth, and reinsert them.

Presenter Mouse (Standard version)

Clean the contacts on the charging station and the mouse itself with some alcohol. Most probably they are oxidized and your mouse just sits there not charging.
A flashing light indicates that the charger seems to detect a problem with the cells. (two or more cells form a battery). Since you've tried other cells, it can be reasonably assumed that the charger is faulty and should be replaced.
I had the same problem, brand new battery, the indicator light still blinking red. I finally got mad enough to shake the mouse kinda hard, and it worked. I then removed and replaced the old batteries in, it started blinking red again, but it worked after I gave it a couple of hard side by side shake. I do notice that there's something moving inside the mouse. It could be a connector that got loose. Hope this fixes your problem
Check the charger with a volt meter, if it has juice then the li-ion battery is bad in the mouse,which may or may not be user replaceable. Probably better to just buy another.
