during standby, charging will start automatically and the charge

The charger has detected a problem in the charger or the battery, and
is unable to charge. Stop charging by disconnecting the charger plug
and the power plug. Check the battery, charger, and cord connection
for any problem, and then try charging again.
If the charge lamp light comes on or ashes in red again, an equipment
failure may have occurred. Stop charging by disconnecting the char-
ger plug and the power plug, and have the equipment inspected by a
dealer.
