Blinking lights send users to search engines in panic. Patterns differ by brand, but five meanings cover most batteries.
The common blink dictionary
- 3 quick blinks: short-circuit protection – check the thread for leaked oil and reseat the cart
- 5 quick blinks: button held too long or draw timeout – let it rest
- 10 blinks: low battery – charge now
- Blinking while charging: normal charging indicator; solid means full
- Alternating colours: usually voltage-change confirmation on variable batteries
When blinking means retire it
Blinks plus heat, swelling or burnt smell = battery failure. Stop using, store on a hard surface away from fabrics, and recycle at a battery point. Batteries are consumables; a replacement costs less than the damage one bad cell can do.
