There should be two wires coming out of the battery and one plugs in to the motor and one is for charging I think the white one is for charging and the other one is to plug into the engine so make sure you have the right wire plugged in otherwise I wouldn't I don't know

Mine have always worked. Make sure the outlet you're plugging into has the correct voltage and that the indicator light is solid. I thought mine wasn't charging once but the outlet (GFCI) had tripped! Sorry I'm not more help.

If you are asking why the battery will not charge, I had a similar problem with 2 of the three I had purchased. Apparently there was an internal problem, because I updated the BIOS as was suggested and that did not fix the problem. Ultimately they had to be returned to the manufacturer for repair.

You may need a new charger. have them check it in the store. We got a dud one time.

I bought mine on ebay. You can also find them on amazon also. I found out also that you need, from time to time, unplug the battery from the phone; wait 30 seconds plug it back in and put back on the charger. it will charge them again. if not, you need new batteries.

You are doing nothing wrong. The same thing happened to me, it seemed to never fully charge. I went through the website I bought it on and reported the problem and started the return process. I returned the unit as instructed. They replaced the unit free of charge

I've read that these sometimes have a break-in period and that the charging indication corrects itself after a few days of use. I'd try charging it up and using it and recharging it a few times to see if that helps. Only "problem" is that the charge lasts a long long time! Good luck.

I actually had problems with these. I bought two, and neither will charge. I don't know if I somehow got the wrong ones, or if it was a laptop issue. From the research I did it sounds like it has to do with my laptop drivers. I tried a few things I found online to try to fix it, but eventually just gave up.

Im not sure. Try turning it on and letting it charge up. Maybe it needed the day to charge. Both mine work.

The USB won't charge it; I think it says that in the manual. Or I read it on a customer review. You may have a faulty charger. You can probably pick up a charger at Radio Shack. If it's the unit itself, I guess you'll have to call the 800 number or go to the website and contact Customer Service. They'll tell you what to do. I hate that for you. Good luck.

Hi, I am having the same problem with mine. I am sure these are defective items that are being resold. I have to shut it down, power cord in, turn it back on and then manipulate the cord just so. Sometimes it takes a few tries. When if starts to charge, I leave if alone, because it will stop even if lightly tapped. The charge doesn't last very long though. Very disappointed. I should have returned it when I got it.

Double check that you have the batteries in the charger correctly, charge them and it should work. Return it via Amazon

Mine never charged, even after a week. Had to buy a replacement. Others had the same problem.

Sounds to me like you may have a faulty one. Mine charged up just fine, and I am still doing well with it. I would contact the company. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Has it been charged properly? I've not had this experience if you have done that and it doesn't work you should probably enquire if it can be returned.

I am the same as the others, mine came charged. I installed it several weeks ago and it works. Maybe you should check with the company for a replacement. Good luck.
