Are they dead?

[Nwit]

I have two manual batteries, both exactly three months old. Both are flashing when the button is depressed but when placed in the USB charger they both show the green light on the charger and there is/are no flashing of the LED. Are they dead?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

I am not sure, if they were the only batts you used for 3 months that could be the case.
I would however try cleaning the thread ends with rubbing alcohol and also the charger where the batt connects to it then try charging them again.

Good Luck

Clean them and leave them on the charger,they might reset themselves.

Also which charger do you have? I have all three, the PCC, the USB thread, and the USB push-in. One time, my battery slipped out of the push-in by like a millimeter, and caused the charger to say that the battery was full, when I knew real well it was empty.

it might be the charger too... if all your batteries are not holding a charge, mayhap the charger is the issue.

I had one a couple weeks ago that acted like that - wouldn't charge on the wall charger, so I tried the USB charger and it worked fine.

That usually means that the batteries are so discharged, they don't even have charge enough to flash and turn red. I have done that many many many times! Just leave on the charger even though they are green. In 5 - 10 minutes usually they will flash and turn red and charge. Hope this is all that is wrong with yours...

That happened to me before too.. Is your charger constantly plugged? If so, remove it wait 5 or 10 mins and try again.

Clean the connector off really good and try unscrewwing it from the charger and putting it back it might come around..

Yep, I've done the same many times... They come out fine
