Before buying a new charger, check that your battery is fully discharged.<div>
</div><div>My brother purchased a small RTF RC car last summer and we had the same issue - no charge on the NiMh, and the charger would refuse to light up. 

For most chargers to work, they need to "sense" the battery being there first. If the battery was shipped discharged, or it discharged while sitting around for a while, it won't register from the charger. </div><div>
</div><div>I can't remember the specifics, but to solve the issue with the car, we opened the charger and touched two of the contacts inside with a bent paperclip to cause resistance and thus cause the battery to register. The light went on immediately, and as soon as the battery gained a few seconds of charge, it was enough to keep it going. </div><div>
</div><div>Once this is done once, the charger shouldn't need this fix again, provided the battery is never left to 100% well and truly dead. </div><div>
</div><div>Try another battery (already with some charge) with your charger to see if it works, or try your battery with a different charger, if none of the above works.</div><div>
</div><div>Happy flying!</div><div>
