Introduction to Hikoki Charger Lights
Are you a DIY enthusiast or a professional using Hikoki power tools and finding the indicator lights on your charger confusing? Don’t worry — you’re not alone. Many users wonder what the different lights mean and how to interpret them correctly. Once familiar with these signals, you’ll be able to troubleshoot and use your charger more effectively.
Basic Significance of the Lights
Starting with the fundamentals, a flashing red light when no battery is inserted indicates that your charger is powered on and ready for use. This is your cue to insert a compatible battery to begin charging.
Understanding Charging Status
- Solid Red Light: When you place a battery into the charger, a steady red light signifies that charging is in progress. Keep the battery in place until the process completes.
- Fast Flashing Red Light: A rapid flashing red light while the battery is inserted indicates that the battery has been fully charged and is ready for use.
- Slow Flashing Red Light: If the red light flashes slowly after inserting the battery, it typically points to a temperature-related issue. The battery might be too hot or too cold, preventing charging. To resolve this, allow the battery to reach room temperature by placing it in a suitable environment, and then try charging again.
