Question about V4L AC wall charger...

[Strauss95]

I just want to make sure my wall charger is working correctly. When I run my batteries down to the point that they start to blink, I'll put them on the charger and within 60min the charger says they are fully charged. This is with the standard length KR808-1 battery, both battery and charger less than a week old.

When I first put the battery on, the LED on the charger goes from green to red like it's supposed to. The battery LED also flashes a few times when it's first connected, then goes out for the charge cycle. What I noticed today is when the charger switches from red to green to indicate the battery is full, the LED on the battery also flashes a few times and then goes out. Is this normal behavior? I assumed the batteries would take a little longer to charge than 1hr from a dead state. I also noticed the LED on the wall charger blinks to green REALLY quick and back to red about once every 6sec while it's charging.

I also took one of the batteries that was "supposedly full" on the wall charger and hooked it up to the USB charger. The USB charger went red and charged the battery for about 3hrs before it went green, indicating it was full. That seemed strange to me, and wanted to hear from you all if my wall charger sounds like it's operating normal?

Mine does not act like that. I mainly wanted to know how long a complete charge takes? Mine stays red with only a VERY slight blink to green every 6sec or so on the charger LED only. My battery LED stays out until it's supposedly fully charged, which it then blinks a few times then the charger LED turns green.....and it stays that way. When I pulled it off, my USB charger then charged it for 3hrs before it was fully charged according to that charger. When one of my batteries is completely dead, my wall charger will top it off in less than one hour. Is this normal time? Or should it take longer?

My chargers take about three hours to fully charge an average sized battery. Some of my older batteries are taking a shorter amount
of time, but they also die out faster. Call or e-mail customer support, and they will probably make you "smile".

Sounds like you have a defective wall charger. Mine always take atleast 3 hours to charge. I'd email V4L and tell em whats going on. They will take care of it for you.
