When being charged, the green light will blink off and on. When fully charged, the light will stay solid green until the unit is unplugged from the charger...then it will be off. It sounds like your battery has gone bad on you. I'd call Minelab if it's still under warranty. If not, take it to an authorized repair facility to have it replaced.

Check your charging cord. Maybe even swap it with your other one to see if that might be the problem. Look closely at the spring loaded pins in the plug. Those can get corroded and stick causing a bad contact. Use some silicone on them to help keep the contacts in good shape and corrosion at bay.

Time to call Minelab. This isn't going to fix itself. At least its the hotternhell season down there...

Make sure the contacts on the back of the EOX AND the contacts on the cable are very clean and shiny. When I'm wading in my area there is so much iron that the magnetic contacts collect iron dust then transfers it to the cable. That was an interesting two hours of my life trying to figure that out. Good luck

Now you see mines the opposite when I charge it it’s solid green and then the next morning it’s blinking green

2nd time with this problem

Since the contacts on the back of the unit are exposed to the elements, I spray some electro-contact cleaner on mine after use as preventative maintenance
