Does the "maximum charging" LED always stall lit with the charging LED is on? Mine is; wondering if my charge controller is bad.

I know mine stays on from a little after sun up to almost sun down. Running on a three bank battery system which is almost always using some 12 volt power in our RV somewhere, not to mention how much is drained off in after dark hours. What I really see though is soon as the sun hits the panel till the sun is off of it in the evening this basically shows that the panel is in enough sun light but never dropped a voltage meter accross to find where the charge was at on the batteries.

Mine is always on when charging. I assume it means it is getting enough power from the solar cell... Mine has gone to the flashing maintenance mode a couple times.

There is a charging light that stays on while the battery is charging; the 'maximum charging' light does not stay on the entire time on mine, and mine works fine. So - maybe you should have yours checked out or return it..

The charging indicator stay lighted unless I have reached full charge. Checking the batteries (dual 12v on my travel trailer) with a voltmeter they'll read 12.25 volts. Then it switches to flashing. This doesn't occur very often, only on the sunniest days.

The user manual is not very clear. I would call the tech line @ 1-800-379-5579 x206 to verify.

Mine does the same. Phone always comes on when it starts charging regardless of charging method. As for the light, I've never noticed until now and it stays lit.

When all 3 LEDs are solid it is done charging. I find it does take 18650s longer to charge but they do have a higher capacity than the 18490s I mainly use

Is it blinking all the time? or just when you connect a device? My light is blue steady even when I connect a phone to charge.

Led are blinking on mine when charging unit but not when charging phone or tablet. Hope this helps you!

If the LED doesn't turn on while you are charging it, then the unit itself might be defective. If it does, then try holding the power button for 60 seconds. If, again it doesn't turn on, then it is also a broken unit.

Sorry to hear the LED light is blue on one of the chargers. We are afraid it is defective. Others who have purchased this item and are experiencing the same problem are also welcome to contact us.

My husband has had that issue before, keeps jiggling it and moving it until the light comes on. I don't know if it is charging without the light being on or not - but he does not trust that it is charging unless the light is on. Must be a weak connection to the charging light, but keep trying to get it to come on.

I believe that however many stay constant indicate how charged up the unit is. So if you see 3 constant led's then it is around 65 to 75% charged when fully charged all led's will stay lit until unplugged from charging. This unit stores slot of power so it takes it awhile to deplete it depending on what is being charged.

My light (green) stay's on when charging. It goes off when complete. Mine only blinks when the battery is low. It sounds as if your battery might be faulty. I never use tech support on anything. They usually know less about their products than we do!

On my unit, the green light flickers when it is finished charging. When checking the charge level, the green light is solid when it's full, it doesn't flicker.

Mine has been charging for over six hours with no change in the solid red light. Is that normal??

I have the latest release. I USB led glows all the time. There is no change in the lights when charging or not charging.

Ok, this is a guess (my keyboard only drained once so far). I had the same experience, so trusting the light to be truthful, I assumed the device only charges when it is switched on. Given I had used laptops in the stone age that only charged when turned on, I thought nothing of it at the time. This is not a high spec device, so there is no charging feedback other than the single light. Best of luck.

The 4 led lights are set in 25% increments, if three are solid and one is flashing while the unit is charging, its above 75% but not fully charged

I've read that these sometimes have a break-in period and that the charging indication corrects itself after a few days of use. I'd try charging it up and using it and recharging it a few times to see if that helps. Only "problem" is that the charge lasts a long long time! Good luck.

Seems like you may have a problem, the lights on my charger have lit up every time I plug it in. There is a possibility the wall piece itself is bad though. Maybe try another USB charger an see if it works. Or put dead batteries in it leave it for roughly an hour an try them again to see if they have taken a charge.
