Why is the red light on the electric vehicle charger flashing and beeping continuously?
2 Answers
Electric vehicle charger's red light flashing and beeping continuously indicates that the device has not been fully charged. When fully charged, it will display a green light. If there is no indicator light, it may be due to not using the original charger, and the charger needs to be replaced; it could also be caused by battery aging, requiring a battery replacement to resolve the issue; or the charger might be damaged, and trying a different charger could help. Electric vehicles, also known as electric-driven vehicles, are divided into AC electric vehicles and DC electric vehicles. The electric vehicles commonly referred to are those that use batteries as the energy source, converting electrical energy into mechanical motion through components such as controllers and motors, with speed controlled by adjusting the current.
I encountered the same situation last time when charging my Emma electric scooter. At that time, the charger's red light was flashing and buzzing, which scared me so much that I immediately unplugged it. Later, I found out it was because the charging plug wasn't inserted tightly, causing poor contact with the metal plates. It could also be due to unstable voltage at home, especially during peak electricity usage hours in old residential areas at night. Also, when the battery has been undercharged for a long time and can't take a charge, it may trigger the protection mode with flashing lights. My suggestion is to unplug it, wait for ten minutes, and try again. Check if there's dust in the charging port. If that doesn't work, borrow a neighbor's charger of the same model for cross-testing. This can basically help determine whether it's a problem with the scooter or the charger. Never try to make do with it, as it could easily burn out the circuit board!
