try this
Every once in a while when I stick a battery in the charger, It'll not make perfect contact and the fan will run, light will come on etc... but the batt will last a very short time. After getting irate, I make sure the batts are firmly in place and recharge and all is okay.

I don't know if this will help, but I always stick the batteries in first, then plug in the charger. I haven't had any troubles yet.

That what it says to do on most instructions (oh yeah ppl don't like to read instructions) for the chargers.
hehe I used to do that before I became a tech 9 years ago

Strange, When I plug my 15 minute charger in, the light just comes on and goes right away after? What do you think is wrong?

Did you try to use the batteries right after you bought em. When the unit does what you say it does it means that you have a bad battery(ies) or you are charging the battery when it it already charged. The last thing it might be is that the batteries have developed memory.

goto rayovac web page, email the support... they will probly send you a new adapter upon you sending one back... I did this back when I had the PS4... cuz the light was dim.. even though it realy had no problem with the charger...

the problem with alkalines is they truely are NOT rechargeable.. rayovac just chnaged the formula on them a little bit to make it a little bit safer to charge them, then made a charger that super duper slow charged them, if you put those alkalines on their they can do a hell of a lot more than jsut LEAK... they can burst into a FLAME that would be VERY hot...
the IC3 is ONLY for IC3 cells!!!
dont even bother using OTHER nimh in it... cuz those take 16 hrs or so to charge, use the PS4 charger for anyOLD nimhs u have, the keyis to not even bother buying the old nimhs any more, get the 15 minutes now.. the reast of the batteries out ther eare officialy OBSOLETE, NIMH and NICD!
