How do you know when the battery is fully charged? Will the LED stay green when it is fully charged (even with a battery installed)?

You won't. The 300A flashes from amber to green indefinitely even in float mode. However, the 200A stays amber until fully charged then stays green (finished). The below 3 answers are incorrect.haXor

Yes.. it flashes between an amber and green light... solid green is full charged. This is a slow charger and battery maintainer..Not a battery charger if you want your battery charged in the next 1/2 hour.Used it on my bike and tractor last winter and worked great. Had to switch the cable every couple of weeks.

Yes, When the battery is fully charged the green led will light. The yellow led will light when the battery is charging. The red led glowing will indicate a problem. I connected my battery with the wrong polarity and the red light lite. The protective circuitry prevented damage to my trailer.

I put the batteries in the charger that has indicator lights. So when the light is green, the battery is fully charged. If you do not have a charger with indicator lights, you might want to invest in this: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=battery+tester I have a very inexpensive one of these that I use to test the loads of batteries I have in the house.

I am quoting from the instructions that came with the battery: "The charger and batery pack can be left connected with the green LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery pack fresh and charged."

i think is common sense, because once the battery is charging the battery stays orange-red, and when light turn green i think is fully charge. but the light never goes off from the charger. stays always green.

Yes, while going throgh the charging and reconditioning the LEDs are Amber (yellow) in colour. Once the battery is charged and it goes to trickle mode the LEDs are green in colour so it can't be clearer - wait until it gets green and you are good. Very simple to use and great quality. Highly recommended.

The battery will be "almost" completely charged with the light turns green, meaning for practical purposes it is done charging and the battery is usable. However, if you leave the battery connected for a few more hours it will be in maintenance mode and very slowly the battery will charge a small (single digit %) amount more.

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.

I never see green on the charger, either. Eventually, the red LED blinks, and I get 3 bars on the battery itself with the self-test button.

The charger light should be a solid red (on mine anyway) and then it will turn green when fully charged. It does take about eight hours to be fully charged so don't be alarm that it takes so long (not very convenient). Also, your charger light may glow green with the battery inserted even though the charger is NOT plugged into an outlet. Hope this helps.

If it's properly connected to both AC power and a good backup battery installed, the green light will be on solid. It's a small LED, and you have to be directly under it, at the correct angle to see in on solid. If it's running on battery backup, the green LED will flash once a minute, not stay on solid. The above is directly from the manual & I just installed four of them. I already had one I installed last year as a replacement and at night, in a completely dark bedroom, the green LED is on solid & will actually project a very dim light ring down onto the carpet. I believe there is some reviews where people complained it was too bright for a bedroom. This was not the case for us, however I guess if it was over your bed, I could see it being a problem. Just my experience with them and as far as the LED lights, you can go to their WEB site and look up the meaning of the various colors & options.

When it is fully charged the light turn into green and stops. I don't think there's any problem in living it more hours connected... I have forgotten it some times charging of r a day or more and nothing happened...

The light starts as red and goes to green when charged. Mine does not fully charge and may only be half charged when the light turns to green.

The one that I purchased was defective but yes your correct. .it should go to green when fully charged.

Your charger should tell you when it is fully charged, mind have yellow light when it needs to be charged and a green light when it is fully charged

I haven't used it in a while, as I've been traveling but there should be an LED light on either the battery or the charger which turn off or turns green when finished charging. Charge it a full 24 hours the first time before using it.

Mine does the same thing. It is charged when I unplug it later. I wish the LED indicator would stay on.
