Charger help please !! Tx/rx nx83

I bought a battery pack today for my savage receiver when I plug it in to charge the charger blinks red and I've had it on charge for 2 hours but no power from it should the red light be solid ?!

The old charger i had, I think when it flashed, it wasn't charging. When it was solid red it was charging, but was a long time ago i used it. I sold it on ebay very cheap having a screen is much better than led's.
I don't know it all chargers with led's work like this.

After running back and forth to my model shop I have finally got it resolved was all down to a faulty battery, plugged my replacement in and the red light on the charger stayed in and just after an hour later it was green
Thanks for all the help!!

Sounds like it had a bad solder joint or was so dead that the charger didn't see it. I've had that issue before and I use a low voltage power supply on the battery for 10 seconds, then throw it on the charger and it picks it up.

A power supply doesn't care about a flat pack, current flows regardless unless there's an open. Chargers care about 0 volts and don't try.

I've unintentionally drained my packs too far using bulbs (yearly cycling) and my charger won't pick them up.
