You broke it. there is no fix.
The batteries you put in it that blew were resisting the charge and fighting with the unit and most likely burnt up some electronics inside the charger.
I would not use it at all or even try to use it. You may cause a fire or get zapped.
I had the same problem with flashing red lights. Both sides on a four battery charger. I swapped the batteries to another charger and the batteries were fine. They charged normally. I put some different batteries in the charger and the same flashing light situation. Those batteries also charged normally in a different charger. I looked closely at the back of the charger and, low and behold, "made in China". Why does that not surprise me. The bottom line, it may not be a battery issue.
All chargers cannot charge all types of batteries. Are your Duracell batteries NiMH or Alkaline? These indications generally happen when you insert a battery type that is not rechargeable.
gripfitter is incorrect, that charger is made to charge in 15 minutes. It has a cooling fan and when batteries are inserted a red light comes on and the fan starts. When light goes out and fan stops, the batteries are charged. (light should not blink as that indicates one or more of the batteries has a problem)
When the duracell lights blink during charging, AT YOUR OWN RISK, try a reverse charge. Instead charging positive to positive and negative to negative, try positive to negative and negative to positive. I did this for 2 minutes. This solved the problem. After the 2 minutes, I gave the batteries a normal charge. You will have to force the battery and charger contacts to touch.
with Nimh batteries you can charge them anytime, you dont have to run them down first like nicads. just put the batteries in the charger with the flat end (-) against the spring and plug it in. some models have a red light to show its chargeing and a green one to show its fully charged while others just have a light to show it is chargeing.
on my charger the red lights are only to tell there is power connecting especially when you have two battery's behind each other on the bottom of my charger there is a guide as to how long you should charge each battery as to size which are aaa 7hours max aa 24hours c 24hours d 24hours 9v 24hours hope this helps glenn............
