Battery charger blinks green, will not charge

Brian Sharwarko · Jul 30, 2016

I just received my camera back from yuneec for repairs, I go to charge the battery and the charger just blinks green and will not charge. I checked to ensure all connections are correct and the fuse does not appear to be blown. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Check the fuse

The fuse is fine. Inspected and tested.

Did you find a solution to this problem? I am having the same issue and was wondering how or if you resolved this.

I did not find a solution. I was told to check the fuse. The fuse is fine.
I was told to purchase a new battery charger, but I don't really have the money to spend on it right now. I remain grounded.
I wish they would just supply a good quality charger when you purchase the drone.

I just went through a similar problem and what happened to me was the battery had dropped below the nominal voltage so the smart charger would not charge it. I went to my local hobby shop and bought a charger with more features and the guys there showed me how to "bump" the battery up to a level where the charger would recognize it and then I was able to charge the battery successfully. Not an ideal solution but the $60 I spent on the charger was cheaper than a new battery and I like being able to see the cell values on the digital display of the new charger.

This charger or one like it will do you just fine.
