What does the light/button on top indicate? Red = USB Charging, White = In Use; Does Red also mean "solar charging while in use"

My button does not light up. There is no indicator for charging. The switch has two positions. The first click is flashing mode. Click it the second time and it is a steady beam. This product works perfectly.

The button is only a power button and doesn't change colors, but determines light flashing, solid or off. I've just used solar power so don't know of USB use, and only had the light dim when it was kept in dark storage for a bit. Great little light!

The button on top does not change colors. It is only a power button to go from flashing light to solid light and then it turns off the third time you push the button. I've never charged it on a USB charge only solar and has never died on me

There is a green light inside the power switch. When in use, the green light will flash to indicate a need to recharge. In charge mode, the green light will flash steadily to indicate charging. Then when the charge is complete, the green light will glow solid. Quite easy to understand and use.

The first click brings you to solar powered, second click battery powered, third click back to off/charging position. Mine has little symbols just above the indicator light to indicate which mode it is in.

The blinking light is when the battery is charging. The solid red is when the battery is fully charged.

Mine has a red yellow and green light across the top and in the shape of a small battery. This is to ley you know you know the condition of the battery. Red is needing charge,yellow is to let you know caution and the green is full charge. And none should be lit unless you press the check battery button. I hope this helps answer your question!!!!

Red indicator light means the charger is fully charged and ready to go, I leave mine plugged in 24/7 unless I'm on a long road trip,... Never had any issues of battery drainage

There are two lights on this device that should be lit whenever a controller is docked. When this device is charging a corresponding light will indicate that controller is being charged by a red or green indicator. When controller is fully charged only a white indicator will be lit when docked.

The one on mine is red. Lights up when it is plugged in and flashes with activity. If your USB ports are upside down you can't see the light.

Blinking red light means it is charging. Solid red light means it needs charging.

There are 2 lights. the red one indicates that the unit is plugged in. When it is charged, an additional red light comes on. I also must say that I love the speed and ease of using this charger. Keep it away from magnetic recording materials (credit cards, disk drives.) It is a ridiculously good deal, and I wish my ipad had a similar charger!

i purchased it for my father but I would guess its a weak battery indicator and currently charging if it doesn't go green after a while the battery might not be chargeable anymore or a faulty charging unit , or drill . Most chargers have the same red light indicator meaning.

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.

All modern electronics now have circuitry to prevent overcharging. On this device there is an LED to indicate charging status. While charging, the LED is red. When complete, the LED turns green.

The LED comes on as red when the phone is charging. When the phone is powered off and charging the phone has a large icon that shows it is charging that looks like a battery with dots underneath. Still works great after a year of use. No problems at all.
