I have a casio exilim EX-Z60 the mians battery charger flashes constantly red when I place in my battery, but does not charge the battery, can you advise please

No. The EX-Z60 does not charge the battery through the USB port. You need to use the supplied charger. Alternatively, if you have the EX-Z60DX cradle, you can plug the camera into the cradle and plug the cradle into a wall outlet. However, using the cradle will not let you charge the camera through the USB port either.

If the red light is flashing after inserting a NP-20 battery in the Casio Lithium Charger BC11-L, it means that the battery will not take a charge. Normally when putting the batterry in the charger, the light will be a constant red. After charging is complete, the red light will go out. Battery is then fully charged and ready for use.

Thank you every one who posted solutions.
I was all set to try the 9 volt trick until i realised i didnt have one so i tried someone else's suggestion of constantly re-inserting the battery until the red light stays constant. Touch wood, but it seems to have worked.

Hi I am Vortah The red light is usually an indicator that the battery is charged however in this instance as you are saying it isn't the battery has possibly gone short and you will need to replace the batteries . They have a type of internal memory and only charge a certain amount of times before they no longer accept charge and merely overheat during charging .. But I have to say it may be possible the charger is faulty as if the internal rectifier that charges the battery has gone short that may also bring the red light on in some chargers .. so try the battery or as I would do take it along to your nearest dealers and get them to check it . it may save you money in the long run you could be buying a battery you still cant use when you actually need a charger .. Hope this helps regards Vortash

buy a new battery (DUH)

your battery is no good. you are going to have to replace your battery.

I had the same problem-and no, you aren't doing anything wrong-its a bad battery.
Call the casio people and they will send you a new one

If you cannot find a solution to your problem you may want to email [email protected]. He has good advice and good used parts at a fair price.

Blinking light means charging error. Call tech support and they will replace battery for you for free.

When did you purchase your camera? If it was less than one year you can call Casio Tech Support and tell them your battery will not charge. They will require you to send in your battery and they may be able to replace it for you. If it has been over one year then they are going to suggest you just buy a new battery. I believe with this camera they will also recommend that you send in the charger and the power cord.
