Is the charge light supposed to blink during charging? Right out of the box, I plugged in the ac adapter with the unit turned off. I thought the "charge" light would stay on during charging and then shut off when done. However, after plugging in the ac adapter, the "charge" light blinks once about every 30 seconds. I called Philips tech support and they said this is normal, but I have my doubts. Any help would be appreciated. Is the charge light supposed to blink during charging?

My light (green) stay's on when charging. It goes off when complete. Mine only blinks when the battery is low. It sounds as if your battery might be faulty.I never use tech support on anything. They usually know less about their products than we do!

Same problem here, my battery seems however not to charge at all. Did you find a solution/problem?thanks!

It is normal when recharging. The length of time it blinks normally depends oh how long it's been unplugged. As mention below no true way to measure.

If it is the first time charging or the battery power is low or dead it will blink green for what seems like an eternity. Patience is required. You may or may not be able to type while it is charging. It depends on the power in the battery. Also, check to make sure the battery is intact. Mine was loose after the keyboard fell several times. I fixed it. If the battery is dead when you unplug after 12hrs or more you need a new gadget. Otherwise, the charging unit will power off when unplugged. Hope that helps

My unit lights up and flashes only when you have a battery in the slot that is charging. When you insert a battery to charge and close the lid, the light for that slot should be flashing until it stops when fully charged. Sometimes I have to turn the batteries around in the slot to ensure a good connection as the batteries can get a little dust-corrosion on them that impairs a good connection.

My husband has had that issue before, keeps jiggling it and moving it until the light comes on. I don't know if it is charging without the light being on or not - but he does not trust that it is charging unless the light is on. Must be a weak connection to the charging light, but keep trying to get it to come on.

Yes they blink until it's fully charged. The blinking led shows how far it's charged at the moment. The LEDs will all be solid when it's fully charged

I just received mine. I am still letting charge to full power. The light is still blinking so it is no up to full power yet.

I have one charger that works, one that is toast. When I plug-in the one that works (without a battery in it) the LED comes on green, but flashes red about every half-second or so. If your charger does that, your battery is probably bad. I had one bad battery, and 1 bad charger, and I was going crazy till I connected with someone who had working chargers and batteries so I could do some tests. Hope that helps.

There is an indicator light that blinks while charging and is solid when fully charged, but it does not tell you when it is dying and needs to be charged... In my experience, it is good for one full charge at least.

Yes the LED blinks ...when it is set on 5 (Deer)...When battery is Low? just plug it in or place in bright sunlight.. When charging on computer light is on

I don't know - mine does not blink. However - have you tried unplugging and replugging in? Do you have the ipad plugged into the ipad and not iphone spot? Just thoughts. I had a previous charger like this one which would blink if I plugged my Ipad into the spot for the phone. Otherwise I would try a different outlet. And if none of that works, return it if you can.

I have the exact same problem - Have been searching for a while - but no luck with a solution. I also tried to get a new charger for the car and was told they are not available. When I first began to use the unit, the battery worked fine, then I stored it for quite some time and thought that was the issue. But after having it plugged in constantly, all that happens is the charging light will blink periodically, but the unit WILL NOT function without the power cord regardless of how long it's been charged :(

When the device is fully charged it will stop blinking and no lights will be seen. The blinking lights indicate that the device is in the charging process. It may take a few hours for the device to fully charge, depending on the power source and how depleted the batteries are in the RAVPower charger.

The correct answer may depend on the charger you are using. I bought the Black & Decker L2AFCBST Lithium Ion Fast Charger with Flash Charge. When the green light is blinking the unit is fast charging the battery. When the green light is on but not blinking it is maintaining the charge on the battery. Of course when there is no battery in the charging unit the light is off. With this fast charger, I have never seen the blinking continue more than 3 to 5 minutes. I have a flashlight, a drill and a chain saw which I use the batteries on. This B-D 20v system is excellent in my opinion. Hope they come out with more tools that use them.

Hello! From what I could tell, the light is red when charging. Once charged, the red light goes off.

When plugged in it blinks green until fully charged. Stays on after fully charged but only when plugged in. When unplugged it will blink green until it needs charging, when it needs charging it will blink red.
