Troubleshooting

Batteries are not charging

Ensure the batteries are correctly inserted with the correct polarity. Verify the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the charger and a functional power source. Check that you are using NiMH rechargeable batteries; standard alkaline batteries cannot be recharged.

LED indicators are not lighting up

Confirm that the charger is receiving power from the USB source. Try a different USB port or power adapter. Ensure the batteries are properly seated in their slots.

Charger feels warm during use

A slight warmth is normal during the charging process. If the charger becomes excessively hot, unplug it immediately, allow it to cool, and check for any obstructions or faulty batteries.

Only some batteries are charging

This can occur if individual batteries have reached full charge or if there's a poor connection with one or more batteries. Reseat all batteries and check for any dirt or damage on the battery contacts or charger slots.
