Green light (A) glows continuously and red light (B) flashes: indicates that the battery pack is receiving a “Fast Charge”, but the battery pack voltage is low. It is not unusual for a new, or a fully discharged battery pack to give this indication for the first several minutes of charge. If the red light continues to flash throughout the charge cycle, it indicates that the pack is weak and will provide reduced performance (the pack is still useable, but will not provide maximum power or work per charge). This battery pack will probably require replacement in the near future.
