Blade mcx probs - battery charge time

Hey guys im not so flightless anymore, and i didn't post this in the blade forum cuz it looks like noone posts over there. I just got the blade mcx yesterday, but now the battery and charger are acting funnny. The battery time is only about 4-5 minutes now and when i charge it the red light on the charger never goes off. I carged it for 50 minutes and the red light never blinked. When i take the battery off the charger the light doesn't go off either, what does this mean?

Hello,

I've moved this post to the MCX forum. It is getting posts but it looks like no one is post there because it's a very relatively new forum. I think it's not even a month old yet Laughing

.

Anyways, is your battery able to retain charges at all or does it look like no power is going in. It is normal for the Blade MCX to charge very quickly.

By the way, glad to hear you're no longer "flightless" Laughing

flightless -

I had this happen and the condition went away after I swapped the charger batteries with fresh ones. Try it and see if this helps.

Same as Andre, I was rather scared. So no fear.

Put fresh batteries in your charger. The red light will stay on and not charge when the batteries get weak.
