msmpix Posted January 16, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 16, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Does anyone have the same issue i'm having with the battery charger unit? I attached battery to charger and sometimes the green light does not come on Then I try again and it works could be power cord connection ? or faulty unit ?

bocaburger Posted January 16, 2015 Share #3 Posted January 16, 2015 I've got 3 chargers and 4 batteries and that has not ever happened to me. I have had occasional glitches with other chargers for other cameras, but only when I had the charger plugged in and then inserted the battery. Normally I first seat the battery in the unplugged charger, then plug the charger into the wall. Yeah Ik it shouldn't matter. But empirically I found once in a while it "confuses" some of these "smart chargers". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbo Posted January 16, 2015 Share #4 Posted January 16, 2015 Leica provided me with a replacement charger as my original never stopped flashing to let me know the battery was charged. But it did always charge so not the same problem you have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thighslapper Posted January 18, 2015 Share #5 Posted January 18, 2015 My M240 charger exploded ...... albeit with rather more smoke and noise than any exciting damage.... some dodgy soldering allowed a short circuit and fried some components.... Phoned Leica Mayfair at 1pm and had a new one delivered the next day ...... It's such a low cost item that Leica will probably replace it without even looking at it for you...... ....... also, if you have a new camera the battery does not come up to full performance till after several charge/discharge cycles .... so it could be a temporary glitch ....

Peter Branch Posted January 18, 2015 Share #6 Posted January 18, 2015 Mine was faulty when I got my M 240. Flashing lights stayed on permanently but it would only charge battery to 80%. Replaced by Leica with a new one through the dealer. I bought a spare charger. Replacement has worked faultlessly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
