More Quantum Turbo issues

Still, the red light on my turbo fails to go on. I took it apart, the battery is connected fine, everything looks normals... What gives?

Is the battery holding a charge? Have you put a voltmeter across the terminals? I'd start troubleshooting there. If you have an old, original Sonnenschein in your Turbo, a brand new, $20 Powersonic 832 might be the proper medicine.

I just replaced the battery with the Powersonic. I also took it apart and check all the connections, and they seem fine.

When you plug in the Turbo to charge, when the charger is connected, the charge indicator sequence should show:

• Plug Indicator Light - A steady on light indicates the charger is properly connected.
  Pyramid Indicator Light - Displays the charging status:
  
• INITIAL CHARGE - A steady light followed by a blinking light, its rate varying as the battery is charging.
  
• FULL CHARGE - After 12 hours a normal full charge will be assured.
  At this time the pyramid light will go out or blink on once every 5 seconds or slower.
  For the first 10 recharge cycles of a brand new battery, the pyramid light may not slow down within 12 hours.
