What happens if I insert a non-rechargeable battery?

Troubleshooting

Batteries not charging

Ensure batteries are correctly inserted with the proper polarity. Check that the batteries are Ni-MH rechargeable type. Clean battery contacts on both the charger and batteries. Try a different set of batteries to rule out faulty cells.

The 'Error' indicator typically signifies a faulty battery, a non-rechargeable battery, a short circuit, or incorrect insertion. Remove all batteries, re-insert them correctly, and ensure they are the correct rechargeable type. If the error persists with specific batteries, those batteries may be damaged.

Verify the charger is securely plugged into a working AC outlet. Test the outlet with another device. Ensure the plug itself is not damaged.
