What does it mean when the charger for the battery stays RED all the time? I am trying to charge the Batteries that came with my Leaf Aptus 22 . I dont know if its the batteries or the charger. Any suggestions? I am using the Hahnel MCL 103 charger and Leaf battery 2350 mah batteries( 2)

Constant Red means a fault. If it does it with both batteries then it could be the charger
 
I had what seems like the same problem. It turned out that the charger was not getting power because of a contact problem with the plug. Applying (constant) lateral pressure to the plug solved my problem. I wrapped the cable around the rear plastic bit a few times then tied it, its not pretty but works. You can test if the charger is getting power by looking at the red LED. I suggest placing the battery in the charger without the power supply connected in a dim area first, then plugging it in. The LED should glow brighter if it is receiving power. Good luck!

I did push in and do all that you said and the battery must be dead. 1 of the batteries I received ( used) when I purchased the camera afew weeks ago must be totally dead. The red light wont come on at all for that one. The other battery has a constant red lit up. I will have to order a new battery and a Twin Charger( Hahnel) from Capture Integration. Hopefully then it will work. Thank you, rollsman

The back will does not power on. What happens is the yellow light comes on for a few seconds then it shuts off. Thank you.
