Before you push start on the charger, You also have to push the square blue button on the lba-10 to switch from a123's to lipo. solid l.e.d. to flashing l.e.d. Then cross your fingers, hope to die, stick a needle in your eye.
oops!! I guess you said you pushed that Mode button.
I have two LBA's and one works better on different adapters than the other?
