So the "Charging" light will be red until the battery is topped off, then go green? Or is a red "Charging" light indication of badness (no charge)?

The red LED indicates that the battery is receiving voltage from the solar panel. When the battery is fully charged, the red LED will blink rapidly. I believe that there is a circuit in the device that will keep the solar panel from over-charging (or cooking) the battery.

The red light goes on after the battery is charged. It does not have a green light.

when the red light on steadily on -indicates the charger is hooked up correctly and is chargingwhen the green light is flashing it means the battery is charged to 80% or greaterwhen the green light is a solid green (no flashing) the battery is fully charged and the microprocessor is monitoring the battery and will keep it fully chargedall this information is on page 7 of the instructions provided with the unit

On the bottom of the battery there are some gold/brass squares. Line those up with the similar squares on the inside of the charging slot. If inserted correctly, there will be a red light, indicating that the battery is charging.

I think red light means there is not enough charge in the battery. I have not used my converter for a few months but I think a green light will show when charge is Adequate.

Hey dude... On the one I received, there is a small light on the bottom (or top) of the charger that shines red or green. It will be green until you place the battery on the charger, then red when you put the battery in, then back to green when it's done. Mine took about 1 hour or so.

I'm pretty sure it changes to a green when charged... I have a couple of lights and seems as though all of them change to green-ish when charged.

It means the battery is already charged. When the battery is charging, the light is red.

yes it turns red, after full chargeit turns green. leave charger on at all times, cant over charge.

turn on red light shows it is on. green light blinking charging, steady green charged

Mine has been charging for 6 hours and still red, not sure what to do...Only time I saw green light was when I first put the batteries on the charger while still unplugged. I thought this was odd.

When the battery is almost exhausted the indicator turns red. As the battery charges, the light blinks green. When fully charged the light remains a steady green.

With the battery attached, it should either be red (not yet charged) or green (charged).Might be a defective charger? If you leave it plugged in long enough does the battery get charged?

There is just the 2 red LEDs and 1 green one for the "charge level" indicators, correct? If so then seeing both red and the green LED come on when you push the test button does hint it is fully charged. If this is the first time you've charged it (where it can take 24 hours to charge), then I'd double check that it's full by pulling the plug on the charger and then push the test button again after 30 seconds. You should still get the 2 red LEDs, but probably not the green. If you have a volt-meter you can also check the battery voltage on the jumper cables, full is ~14V with the charger plugged in and without it plugged in it should drop to ~13V and hold there. If you suspect the battery being bad, then the way to test it is with a known load and see how low the voltage goes. For example, I plugged in a spot-light that pulls ~4 amps and a good battery had the voltage drop to 12.4V instantly and very slowly dropped the longer I had it on (like after a minute only dropped to 12.3V). A bad battery instantly dropped to 11.2V and within 30 seconds went down to 10.5V. That's how you can tell if it's really bad.

Mine is green all the time, unless I pull it out of the wall and use it. Then when I plug it back in, it's red for a time and then goes back to green. So I assume red is "charging" and green is "charged."

It turns red when the batter is dead. The green light will blink while it's charging. Once the battery is fully charged the green light will stay lit.

The only answer I can give is this. When I charge my batteries on it its red when they are charging and green when they are done.
