I had the same problem. Your battery sounds like it got drained too much. The voltage on the battery is too low for the charger to charge. I looked on YouTube (how to charge battery that won't charge). I actually tried this today. I had a battery attached to one of those flashlights from a combo pack and the battery was drained down to 0.64v. The video I watched said take a higher voltage batter and boost it. Like a 20v to boost your 18v. Attach wires from one to the other. + to + and - to - I didn't have any. So what I did was stick 9v batteries together + to - in series I had 5 laying around. I taped a wire to the exposed terminals on the two end batteries and tapped the wire on the battery, which only brought it up to about 2.3volts. Then I just held the two wire on the battery for about a minute. It went up to about 6.3 volts I plugged it in the charger and it finally started charging. I don't know how well it will keep a charge. The batter is 10 or 12 years old. Hope this helps. And check YouTube. There is a lot of videos there.

To let you know that it's charging It will turn solid red or change to a different color when the charge is complete

Why is the green light blinking on the Ryobi charger with the battery in it

My Ryobi 18V One+ charger blinks green while it's charging. When the battery is fully charged, the LED goes to a solid green. However, one battery recently had a faulty cell. After several hours on the charger, the green and red LEDs both were blinking. That indicated that the battery failed late in the charging sequence. It didn't fail the initial testing by the charger. The other battery I charged that day charged fine.

The extended capacity batteries can take 12 hours to charge in my experience. The regular batteries take less time. The charge time will depend on the battery chemistry(The older NiCd batteries take longer to charge then the Lithium batteries.)

I hope this helps. Assuming you aren't dealing with a cold or hot battery or charging environment, if you have any suspicion about a faulty battery, replace it.

(Note: I have a 12V drill as well. Those batteries takes longer to charge for the same relative capacity than the 18V NiCd batteries.)

What does a orange power light mean

please see the commentary. God bless you

  • The majority of laptops will display a solid green, blue or purple battery light to indicate that the battery is fully charged. Most manufacturers indicate that a laptop is in the process of charging by displaying a solid or blinking green, orange, blue or purple light. If your battery indicator light is green, blue or purple, the battery is probably functional, regardless of whether the light is blinking. If the light is solid orange, the laptop is probably in the process of charging.

Battery Error Coneventions

  • Many battery manufacturers use rapidly blinking lights to indicate that a battery's charge level is low. In general, a laptop will rapidly blink orange or red when its charge drops below a certain level until the computer is plugged into a power outlet and charged. If your laptop's battery indicator continues to blink rapidly in orange or red or if it remains red even when it is plugged into the charger, it indicates a problem with your battery or the charger.

Status light is red, why? I have a Roomba Discovery.

Hi.

If the red light is solid, that means that the Roomba is near to full discharge. If the light is flashing red, then the Roomba is completely out of charge.

If the Roomba is fully charged, then there may be a fault.

Here full list of light codes:

Pulsing Amber - Charging
Green - Fully Charged
Amber - Partially Discharged
Red - Almost Fully Discharged
Flashing Red - Fully Discharged"

Here manual

Green light blinks once, goes back to stand by mode after that. Brand new OTB PS3 slim.

you need to hold the power slide jup for a couple of seconds then the light should stay solid, or your battery might not be fully charged.
