Batteries and charger arrived today

Got the Trustfire WF-38B charger and 10440 batteries. Thought 3 of the 4 cells were bad because when they were put in the charger the light flashed red. Seem to remember Nor Cal having a similar situation and left the batteries in the charger for a while and the lights went green. If any one else bought this charger, do the lights go out when the battery reached full charge? The charger was on for a good 5 hours and the lights were still on and green.

The batteries and charger got here from China in 9 days. Not to bad I guess. Hope the cars arrive before the weekend.

The lights flash red while it's charging. When they turn green, they're finished charging

Thank you Oldslotracer.
If that is the case it looks like 1 came fully charged and the other 3 just needed to be topped off.
Just realized the charger is an Ultrafire and the batteries are Trustfire.

It is normal to ship this batteries fully or almost fully charged, since they are not to be discharged total.

MAN, you are organized there OSR. That is neat. Might be a little tough to fit in the slot car hauler though if this all catches on in your area and more tracks pop up.

By the way have you found the limits on a battery charge yet, run time, charge time?
