Have not used energizer charger in ages - what does it mean if green light rapidly flashing

Question edited for clarity and correct spelling of the maker.

Here is the manual section on the LED Lighting sequence. Both Red and Green flashing is not there. Your charger has a model number on the bottom of it and you didn't supply that, so this may be the wrong charger!

Flashing means that it is charging.

Green means batteries are correct inserted and they are charging, light goes off when batteries are full.
Blinking ill say is a problem of polarity or you used nonchargeable cells on that channel

rapid flashing means bad batery or non rechargeble

A red light indicates the charger is charging the battery, an amber light means it has switched from fast rate charging to trickle to keep the battery topped off, and green would mean the battery is completely charged. But don't be fooled waiting for green, many times the charger will only be on green for a moment before changing to amber and keeping the battery topped off.

Flashing can be a sign of a problem on some chargers.

A rapid flashing red can on some chargers indicate a bad or shorted battery, or a bad battery contact in the charger itself. If in question, try a different battery on the charger or compare with another charger to determine if the blinking is normal.

Best regards.

Single Blinking Light means it is charging, eventually the top green light will start blinking to show that it is half way charged. If both lights blink at the same time repeatedly this means there is something wrong and the charger is not charging the batteries.

When the charger light is changing from red to green that is a indication that it is charging the battery. When the charge is complete the light will stay green until the battery is removed or the charger is unplugged.

If your charging 2 batteries only they must be palced in the following poistions on the charger
1. both side by side in the 2 left slots

or

2. one each in the two right slots.

Otherwise the batteries will not charge.

If the batteries are charging the battery indicators

On a Motorola charger, when the battery is charging the light should be a constant red (or amber depending on the charger). When the charge cycle is complete the light will change to solid green. Sometimes the solid green time is brief, as the battery will begin to lose charge, and the charger will go back into trickle mode and change once again to red (or amber). In most cases, a flashing light indicates a problem, such as a bad or shorted battery, an incorrectly seated battery, dirty battery contacts, or a bad connection with the battery. (Note: Batteries last 18-24 months typically. Check your date code for the age of the battery.)

There were several chargers made for the GP360, including but not limited to a 60-minute charger, a 90-minute charger, a 10-hour trickle charger and a 6-unit gang charger which would be a rapid rate, either 60- or 90- minute. If you would supply your charger's model number we could tell you which one you have.
