The green flashing light on the charger of your Carrera RC Profi Ford F-150 Raptor usually indicates a charging problem - this often means that there is a problem:
🔋 Possible causes for green flashing LED:
1. Deeply discharged battery:
The battery may have too low a voltage, so the charger will not start the charging process for safety reasons.
2. defective or damaged battery:
Cells in the battery could be damaged, which the charger also signals by flashing.
3. contact problems:
Dirt, dust or a poor fit of the battery can lead to charging errors.
4. charger does not recognise battery correctly:
If the battery is damaged internally or there is a cable problem, the charger will not recognise it - the LED will then usually flash green or red, depending on the model.

✅ What you can do:
Check the contacts:
Carefully clean the charging and battery contacts (e.g. with a cotton bud and a little alcohol).
Replace and check the battery:
If your other battery charges normally, the charger is probably OK - this is more likely to indicate a faulty battery.
Slowly "reactivate" (only with caution):
With deeply discharged Li-ion batteries, you can try to slowly bring them up to a minimum voltage level using a universal charger with trickle charging. Caution: This is only for experienced hobbyists - there is a risk of fire if handled incorrectly!
Contact Carrera customer service:
If the battery is new or under warranty, this is the best way to proceed. Carrera often offers replacements if the battery gives up the ghost prematurely.

📘 Note:
Unfortunately, the LED codes at Carrera are not always documented, but green flashing is usually interpreted as an indication that charging is not possible - in contrast to red flashing (charging in progress) or green steady (battery full).
