I used the charger 2days ago to charge all 3 batteries and when i plugged it in today and inserted the batteries it started beeping after a few seconds and the green and red lights started flashing intermediately.
My makita dc18rc charger is flashing red green with all 3 my batteries.
Not sure why makita make it hard to find out this information so here it is here s what the status lights mean on the makita battery charger mean.
If the battery indicator light does not change the battery is either fully charged or incompatible with the charger.
The charging light will change from green to red indicating the battery is charging.
Slide a compatible makita battery pack into the battery charger.
