You may have a failing capacitor on the secondary side of charger power supply circuitry. The output voltage will be low or have a lot of ripple; this would cause the error detected. Pictured below is a bad electrolytic capacitor next to several good ones (this is not from a battery charger). Notice how the top is bulged upward instead of being flat - it indicates pressure caused by the capacitor burning out.

There are other failures that could cause this error code, but this one is highly probable.

SOURCE: Dewalt battery charger won't charge

As you know, solid red on your charger means that the battery is fully charged and the BLINKING red light means the battery is charging. Unless the light is blinking irradically everything is working the way it is supposed to. If the light is blinking irradically, the battery may just be too hot or too cold to charge ( like when you are driving many lags and your battery dies) and in this case simply wait 15 minutes to charge. If you get a fast blinking light still, the problem probably is with the battery.

Charger blinks while charging, stops when batteries are fully charged.
New batteries may not be charged from factory. Let them charge overnite and see if it stops blinking.

What does a orange power light mean
please see the commentary. God bless you

  • The majority of laptops will display a solid green, blue or purple battery light to indicate that the battery is fully charged. Most manufacturers indicate that a laptop is in the process of charging by displaying a solid or blinking green, orange, blue or purple light. If your battery indicator light is green, blue or purple, the battery is probably functional, regardless of whether the light is blinking. If the light is solid orange, the laptop is probably in the process of charging.

Battery Error Coneventions

  • Many battery manufacturers use rapidly blinking lights to indicate that a battery's charge level is low. In general, a laptop will rapidly blink orange or red when its charge drops below a certain level until the computer is plugged into a power outlet and charged. If your laptop's battery indicator continues to blink rapidly in orange or red or if it remains red even when it is plugged into the charger, it indicates a problem with your battery or the charger.

Blinking charger
Blinking can be a sign of an old or shorted battery, dirty contacts, poor connection with the charger, or a battery that has been drained too low.
First, clean your battery contacts on the radio, battery and charger with a pencil eraser. Try again to charge the battery. (Be certain the radio is turned off while on the charger.)
If this does not solve the problem, try a known good battery from another radio and see if swapping batteries solves the problem. If so, replace your batteries.
If the charger blinks no matter which radio you place on the charger, you may have a problem with one of the charge contacts in the charging tray itself. Once again, process of elimination will determine which one is the culprit. Then replace the bad charger.
The batteries will have a 2 year life expectancy, and there is a date code on the battery. It is either a 3- or 4-digit number. First number of a 3-digit code is the year, followed by the week of the year. Example 324 would be 2013 the 24th week. Four digit codes are similar except the first two numbers are the year, example 1324 would be 2013 the 24th week.
Best regards.

Black/Decker 12 v drill charger will not charge battery. help
If the battery gets warm after being in the charger a while and still is not charged, then the battery is bad
if the battery stays cool in the charger then the charger may be bad
Chargers usually have a light code, I.E. on means charged, slow flashing means charging, and a quick blinking means bad battery
Some chargers have 3 lights and the code should be imprinted on the charger.
hope this was helpful, cb

Radio won't charge!
I don't know that I have your solution, but I do have a few troubleshooting tips.

Flashing typically means: your battery is possibly old, bad or is not making good contact. Clean your battery contacts with a pencil eraser to ensure they are making good contact with the charger. Also check your charger contact to see that they are free of debris. They can also be carefully cleaned with an eraser. (Do not use any type of solvents on either contacts.)

Second, check the date code on your battery. It is 3 or 4 digit number on the label. Batteries last approx. 18-24 months before starting to fail. Here is how to read the code: 835 would be 2008 the 35th week. If the battery is more than 2 years old, you should consider replacing it.

It is wise to have your radio turned off while on the charger. You can cause harm to the radio if you inadvertently press the PTT while the radio is on the charger. Plus, your radio will never fully charge if left on.
