      Debra NguyenSep 12, 2025
      A flashing red light emitting diode on your Stihl Trimmer charger could indicate several issues. First, there may be no electrical contact between the charger and the battery; remove the battery and refit it again. Second, it could indicate a fault in the battery (4 light emitting diodes on the battery flash red for about 5 seconds); take the battery out of the power tool and refit it. Switch on the power tool – if the light emitting diodes still flash, the battery is faulty and must be replaced. Finally, it might indicate a fault in the charger.
