What kind is it? Maybe you can go to website and check out the troubleshoot section. Is it worth getting repaired?

My first 1 I bought at cycle gear and had it warrantied twice in the first year. Last time I took it in I asked for my money back and bought a battery tender JR at Oreillys. They warranty the JR for 5 years. Cost me $27

i just had the same experience this last weekend. I had one that was charging, then i unplugged, when plugged back in rapid blinking red then green, then finally to red, but never back to green. Left it plugged in for 4 hours. finally unplugged and swapped out my other one and when attached to the bike, instant green.
I checked the purchase date against my pile of warranty receipts, 6 years old. out of warranty by a year. round filed it and bought a new one. I guess they do wear out????

Mine did the same thing. I dropped it so that may have been the cause. Purchased a new one and all is good. You may want to try calling Battery Tender, they have a up to a 10 year warranty depending on the model:
