Yesterday was battery recharging day at my house, which is repeated about every six months for my cameras, etc.
My Ryobi battery refused to be charged. Amazon has good prices on replacements and substitutes.
Battery ABCs:
Always be charging.
I had the same problem. battery not charging. I had the yellow and green light solid on the charger. I took the male connector plug of the charger and quickly plugged it into the electrical socket and quickly pulled it out. Repeated this several times and the battery flashed red and started to charge. Did this with two other batteries and got them to charge. When the batter gets to a low voltage it goes to sleep and may not be dead. The electrical shock awakes it up. Give it a try. May have to repeat the procedure many times. If this does not get the battery to charge then it is dead.

Careful with substitutes. Yes, they have excellent ratings on Amazon, but no, they’ve sucked for me, at least on power tools. Wound up disposing of all of them. Assuming you have the money, make sure your needs are covered by OEMs, before buying extras.
