Casio EM-500, charge light flashing & wont hold charge
 

I got a used Casio EM500 and for the first few days it worked great. I
kept it charged well, but then one day I stared it up and would only
stay on for 1 second before turning off. I pluged in the AC adapter and
the charge light flashes rapidly, and it should stay light when charging.

It works fine with the AC pluged in, just when I unplug it, it goes off
in 1 second. I check the system settings and it said "charging" when the
ac adapter was pluged in but doesnt seem to hold a charge. I didnt drop
it or do anything weird with it.

What does the flashing charge light mean? Is the battery dead?

It sounds like the battery has a memory. Find out what kind of battery it
is and research (GOOGLE) to see what sort of charge/ discharge cycling
might straighten it out.

It sounds like the battery died on you! Try another battery...
