Dan37 6 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Hi, Sounds like you may have the wrong charger. I think these batteries use a jack (as opposed to spade type) connection to charge? It may be that the polarity of the charger does not match the polarity of the battery (look at the symbol on the charger and on the battery and see if they match - will be two horizontal lines opposite each other - one ending in a ball , the other in a C shape which goes around the ball at the end of the other line, with a + and - symbol above each - need to be same way around on the charger and the battery Or, the charger may be the wrong AMP rating for the battery (again check amp rating of charger against amp rating of battery). If this is all ok, then the charger is prob bust (have you checked the fuse in the charger plug, just a thought) - send it back Hope this helps Dan Quote Link to post

I can see the ratings/symbols on the charger but there's nothing on the battery to compare it with. I'll have a look to see if I can find it on their website to see if it matches what's on the charger. Cheers Quote Link to post
samstorm 34 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I would say you have the wrong charger mate. And yes plugging the wrong charger in can knacer the battery but usually only if its too much. Ive broke a few good fones by doing this. So I would guess the same applies. Atb mate Quote Link to post
