Charger HELP

[USRaja]

What does a green and red light mean when plugging my battery into the dnano charger?

Thx in advance.

Anyone have one of these from Japan and has the instructions on the charger. I put my lipo in the small charger and I get one half green and one half red displayed. What does this mean. Is my lipo no good anymore?

Hi! Red+green means the batteries inside the charger are empty.

Thank you for your help. I tried some batteries that I thought were new. I will try a new set.

i have been trying with rechargable sanyo 1850mah AA's in the charger but it always gives a red/green light, even when they are fully charged, so the only option for me is to keep buying normal duracell's etc, untill i find some rechargables that it likes ?

Part of the problem is just that... Their "measurement" of batteries is based on alkalines which are 1.5V whereas NiMH are 1.2V. Using the batteries is a neverending battle and hence the reason I made mine "convertible" http://fraz.com/groups/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=32

Even with fresh NiMH batts I am lucky to see 2 full dNano battery charges out of one set.

I have been using my 2000 mah duracell AA and I have not had any problems... those might be 2100 or 2050... I am not sure but they are above 2000 and less than 2200.
