How to Troubleshoot a Ryobi Charger That's Not Lighting Up or Charging

1. Check Power Supply 

• Ensure the outlet provides 220–240 V, 50 Hz AC. 
• Try a different outlet to rule out socket issues. 
• Confirm the charger plug is securely connected. 

2. Inspect the Charger 

• Unplug the charger 
• Look for visible damage to the charger, cord, or plug. 
• If damaged, do not use 

3. Insert a Compatible Battery 

• Use only RYOBI 18V ONE+ Lithium-Ion batteries listed in the manual. 
• Insert the battery fully into the battery port until it clicks. 

4. Observe LED Indicators

5. Battery Temperature 

• If the battery is hot or cold, charging will pause. 
• Let the battery cool or warm to room temperature (10°C–37°C).  

     Note: This can be done in the charger

6. Try a Different Battery 

• If no lights appear or both LEDs flash: 

  * Remove and reinsert the battery.
  * Try charging a different compatible battery. If the second battery works, the first may be defective. 

8. Defective Charger 

• If both batteries show no lights or both LEDs flash then the charger may be defective.
