I bought a brand new Rebel T6 and it seems that my battery is not charging. My product came with a LC-E10 battery charger. When I put it into the power outlet, the 'charge' LED will blink every 1 second. I am disappointed the owners manual says nothing whatsoever about the display light blinking or being solid.

I have left it charging for up to 3 hours yet when trying to power on the camera, nothing happens.

my best guess is that the battery is completely dead/unrecognizable to the charger. Does anyone have experience with this issue?

If anyone is wondering, I got a different result using the same charger with a different battery

this time, with the new battery the 'charge' LED stayed solid and didn't blink at all. After two hours of charging, it was fully charged. My problem was certainly unique to the original battery I was using.

I would return the new battery and try a replacement. Generally the continuosly flashing light indicates a defective battery.

It is best to stick with a Canon sourced battery because third party products are a gamble at best.
