Roy,
On the front of your charger, you have a menu of what the flashing lights mean. As you get used to seeing the light flashing, you will be able to tell when it is flashing faster or slower. If what you are seeing right now is a slow flash of maybe a flash every second or so, that is normal for letting you know that the battery is in the charging mode and it is charging normally. When it starts flashing faster than that, you maybe experiencing a battery problem. Hope this helps!

SOURCE: I purchased a new charger for my Dewalt Cordless Drill

They usually have a little pic on there that tells you what the blinking means. I think it is charging, but sometimes it needs a green light too. Check it out. Mine flashes all kinds of signals, when it hits a dead battery, one that won't charge, it flashes something else. It only takes an hour to charge. Is the battery getting charged at all? Hope this helps.

Dcr15 dewalt radio flashed red when plugged into wall single flash help please

Occasionally, the charger might show blinking red right to indicate bad batteries. ... This indicates that the battery already have a full charge. If charging is needed, briefly drain the batteries before trying again. If the light blinks red in about 90 seconds after battery insertion, then the battery voltage is too low.

I have a DCB 101 dewalt 20V charger new and there is a red light flashing first time using it. Wondering if it.s normal and also I am looking for a free download of the owner Manual for a DCK294L3 kit...

The Dewalt charger's red light will flash while charging and go to steady red when the battery is fully charged. If you go to the Dewalt ServiceNET site at http://servicenet.dewalt.com/ you can search for the manual for any of your tools. DCK294L3 does not have a manual as that is the model number for the whole kit. Search for the model number of each of your tools and you can get the manual for them. Inside the manuals it also describes the different meanings of how the red light is flashing on your charger.

When I put the battery to charge the red LDc flashes as normal but then speeds up and flashes fast. The battery does not charge! any ideas?

the battery is bad, the fast flashing red indicated an internal short in the battery or it is consumed and needs to be replaced.
