If the battery of your STERWINS 4VPS1-18.1 electric pruner is flashing green and not charging, it generally indicates a charging issue. Here are several points to check to resolve this problem:
1. Check the electrical outlet
Make sure that the outlet where you plug in the charger is working properly. Test it with another device to confirm its functionality.
2. Inspect the charger
Examine the charger and its cable for any visible damage, such as cuts, exposed wires, or damaged connectors. A faulty charger may prevent the battery from charging properly.
3. Clean the contacts
Dirt or slight corrosion on the battery or charger contacts can hinder charging. Gently clean these contacts with a dry, clean cloth to ensure good electrical contact.
4. Patience during initial charging
If the battery is completely discharged, it may take some time before it starts to recharge. Leave it plugged into the charger for at least an hour to see if charging begins.
5. Temperature conditions
Ambient temperature affects the charging of lithium-ion batteries. Avoid charging the battery if it is too cold (below 0°C) or too hot (above 40°C), as this can prevent charging or damage the battery.
What to do if the problem persists?
If after these checks the battery still does not charge and the indicator continues to flash green, it is possible that the battery or charger is defective. In this case, it is recommended to contact customer service or an authorized repair center for further assistance.
