Riva 510 650 mah battery problems! Please help!

[hess312004]

I have 3 650 mah batteries for my Riva 510 and they have all died within 2 days. 2 of the batteries blink 5 times and when I put them on the charger, the charger remains green. The other battery won't even charge and the LED light doesn't even come on.

I'm down to "1" battery and I'm a bit freaked out because by the time I return them to LF, it could be 2 weeks before I get new ones.

I have cleaned the batteries and charger religiously. Any suggestions on if these batteries can be tweaked or fixed?

Can't respond on whether they can be tweaked or fixed. However, I do know that Liberty Flights will take care of you if they are still under warranty. Have had three replaced in the past year for exactly the same problem.

I am having a similar problem...One dead batt, 5 blinks, and no led light on the charger. Arranged return to LF for possible replacement, ordered a second kit as backup. Sent the battery out Tuesday, and yesterday the second battery stopped firing (still no light on charger). I'm using the batts from the backup kit and tried the new charger, all seemed fine (still won't charge the other battery), but this morning no light on the new charger...are these batteries and chargers all bad? I have an older 510 charger and batteries from a "disposable" kit that are still working like a champ after 2.5 months. Starting to wish I had discovered the kGo's before I ordered the Riva. I really hope LF will do something for me....by the way I have no light on either Riva charger with ANY of the batteries.
