I have the scooter that has all four (two green, one amber and one red) lights on at the same time unlike the model described in the guidebook. I have charged it overnight twice. How can I tell when the battery is low? Do the green lights fade leaving only the amber and red or is the battery fully charged and about to die at the same time?

When the amber and 1 red light stay on by themselves after resting it then you should re-charge it. I usaully use it 3-4 days before I charge it.

The amber light signal indicates that the battery is losing power the red light means all power is lost and the vehicle will stop. The two green lights means it is fully charged but one on the extreme right will flicker constantly just indicating power is still there.

When the battery is charging, there is a flashing amber light. When fully charged, there is a solid amber light. Hope that helps.

when red and green flash alternating, it means "charging is not possible".Either the terminals are bad or most likely, the battery is bad, and won't take a charge.I overcharged a battery with another type charger and my new charger confirmed it. the new battery I bought with the charger works perfect.

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.

Hi Bennet,Sorry for late reply.If the battery is not charged fully, its light flash.But once it is charged fully, its light stop flashing.If you have any further questions, please let us know it.

HI, there is a small LED that flashes green when charging, when it is finished, it turns solid green. You are right, it does dim a bit when it is getting low, if you use it often enough you will notice the change; however, we have used it for 4-5 solid hours during night rides without any hint of trouble. I would say the charge holds a good long while.

Well you have to put at least two batteries in at a time and there is a light above each spot for the two battries, so there are two lights. When you put only two battries in the lights will alternate back and forth to "find" the battries then one will stay on, green, above the battries you put in to tell you they are charging good. The empty spot will have no light. Then when the charging is complete the light will just turn off. I can't remember but I think the instructions said something about blinking and other colors like maybe orange or red to indicate "not charging" or "bad/used up" battery. But the short answer is yes green while chargeing then off for done and they can't be over charged.

There is one indicator light, which glows a steady green when the battery is fully charged. As the battery is charging, the light blinks green. When the radio's unplugged and the battery's almost exhausted, the light turns red.

yes, a red light comes on to indicate power, and an amber light will come on until the battery charges then a green light will stay on to indicate full charge

The light will turn green when you put the battery into it, unplugged, but when you plug it in, the light turns amber. Then, when fully charged, it turns green again. I suspect it is something with current draw, zero current means green, positive current means batteries are still charging so amber. Very strange, but it works fine otherwise. Charge Times: My batteries are 4000mAh @ 3.7V. The charger is 650mAh at 4.2V. If you do the math, for two fully discharged batteries it takes 10.8 hours. Unfortunately, I charged them 'overnight' so I don't know exactly, but the 2 hours from John sounds lowball, unless he is just topping off their charge before using again.

In fact, at the time it starts to charge (with battery inside), it must be in red mode (the charger light), but when it is full charged, the same light changes to green. If it begins in green you have to check if the battery is in right position, I mean, the connectors have to contact ones to each others (charger - Battery). If not, please adjust them until they contact together. it can occurs frecuently. good luck.

From what I understand from reading the owners manual, that indication is the chargers way of telling you that the battery is very discharged and is only at about 25% of its capacity. The LEDs are supposed to blink, not light up solid, as the charger is charging. If there is nothing wrong with the battery, the charge level should start going up after a while and in a few hours, the LEDs should read at 100% (solid, not blinking, red, red, yellow, green LEDs). I hope this helps you Mary! Michael R

It seems to turn red when charging however when I've gone on very short rides (only a few minutes) the light turns amber (yellow) when I plug in to charge. So I think it turns red for fast charging and then yellow when close to full and slow charging, then green when it's topped off. It's also green when charger is not connected to the battery.

I am looking at the operator's manual for this light. It states "charge the unit before first use using the 120V AC charger for 2 hours or until the battery status LED lights green." "The battery status LED lights red when the unit needs charging." It further states "When using the 12 VOLT DC charger,DO NOT CHARGE FOR LONGER THAN 2 HOURS." So it appears you could leave it on the charger when using the AC charger, but not when using the DC charger. If you buy this light, I am confident you will like it. They have a similar model now that is supposed to be waterproof, but I would stick with the SL5 as the new waterproof model appears to have a problem with the switch. Good luck!

1. How old is the battery? 2. When you charge the battery, are you doing that while the battery is in the mower or have you lifted it out of the mower? 3. Under no load (mower running but cutting NO grass), are all 3 green LEDs lighted? 4. Are you mowing tall, thick or wet grass? If a battery shows a full charge under no-load and dies after 10 minutes, you may have to order a replacement 24-volt battery.

The battery will blink green while charging. Once charging is complete it should turn to solid green. You can keep the battery plugged beyond charging; and the battery will not be damaged.

When you install a battery or a full set, the light turn on red then amber and finally green. This is full charge.
