Flashing red indicates the battery is below 18V.

If you don't think the battery is discharged, it might be worth checking the power connections.

Do you have a meter which would measure the batteries or have you already put the on charge :?:

Hi Adrian, it was fully charged before taking out, and when it did work inbetweenstops was green.

Hi glen

Adrian is 100% correct. It sounds like you have a bad or loose connection between your batteries and your power supply module/fuse box. Check your connections and apply a little vaseline to the battery terminals if there is any sign of corrosion. You also need to check the batteries. Just because you had them on charge, it does not mean they are fully charged or in good condition.
