Bad Porter-Cable charger?

Hi, received the 20v porter cable 2 pack drill and driver combo kit for Christmas, PCCK602L2. I was able to initially charge both batteries. However now when I plug the charger in without a battery, it flashes red, .......... When I place a battery in it, no change, it continues to flash red. Tried this with each battery with the same result.

Is there a way to test if the charger is good? Thanks

Welcome to the forums.

NO. There is no way to test the charger.
All these new chargers use pulsed high voltage to charge the batteries.

You'll need to get it exchanged for a new one.
