p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · 1DX Charger Blinking Red/Green


Hi everyone, I was charging one of my 1DX (LP-E4N) batteries on the LC-E4N charger and all of the lights (% indicator and Cal/Charge) started alternately blinking red/green. I detached the battery and tried again. So far, so good; it's almost fully charged. I've sent Canon an email but it'll be a day or 2 before they respond. Has anyone else had this problem before? The battery and charger are only a couple months old. Thanks

The 1DX manual indicates that it could be either a bad battery or it's a brand of battery other than a genuine Canon.

Could also be the charger itself - see below.


For casual readers/net surfers, it may also be the LC-E4N itself. I am in the process of contacting Canon about my LC-E4N charger* - see this thread: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1448373

*The LC-E4N has two charging slots/bays - A and B. On my charger, slot B works perfectly with all batteries: LP-E4 and LP-E4N.

Slot A does not - flashing red and green lights irrespective of what battery/cell is inserted.

***To add to that, despite blinking, slot A will still charge batteries - though for now I am keeping my brand new LP-E4Ns away from slot A.

I've had it happen to two batteries. CPS said to drain the battery, then try to calibrate and recharge. If successful and the lights turn green, it's okay to use. If not, it has to be replaced. Both mine had gone bad and had to be replaced.

I have two LC-E4 chargers (for 1D Mark III and IV bodies). All of a sudden, one of them will not charge any of my Canon LP-E4 batteries. No lights come on at all when I use either bay. The other charger works fine with original or knock-off LP-E4s. I tried switching the electric cord from the working charger to the dead charger with no improvement. Do chargers just die or can I try to do something else?
