Does this controller stop charging once a battery is fully charged? Does the green light go out if so?

I'm not sure how it operates but it does not allow the battery to be overcharged. With a 30 watt solar panel my batteries stay around 13 volts in the daytime in storage. I haven't paid attention but I think the green light stays on.

Yes, this "stops the charging" by blocking the incoming power on the "solar panel" connection from getting thru to the "battery" connection once 14V is detected on the battery terminals. Once that has happened, the green light comes on to tell you "the battery is full and charging has been stopped" and the green light stays on until the battery voltage drops to 13V. Once the battery voltage has dropped to 13V, the charging is enabled again and the green light goes out (but the yellow light will be on showing that "charging" is happening again). Depending on how well charged the battery is, how big it is, and how powerful your charge source is, that full cycle (of charging, reaching the 14V where charging stops, and the battery dropping to 13V from it no longer being charged) can happen in just a few seconds or can take 5 minutes, so seeing the green light go out and come back on often is normal. The only time a red light will come on is if you have a "load" connected to the "load" wires and have something running so long that it drains the battery so 11V is detected, it then shuts off your "load" so you don't overly drain the battery.

Hi. I understand that green light means "charging", and it goes off when it's charged.

Yes. The charger does turn off on its own. We do not allow the remotes to stay on afterwards to protect th battery life and controller.

yeah it shuts off when its done charging. little red light turns green when its finished.

The red light will turn off. do not expect to see a green light once fully charged.

When the battery is charging the internal voltage increases. When that voltage reaches a certain preset point, the controller is supposed to shut off charging current. It seems to work that way to prevent overcharging. As far as discharge, there is supposed to be a diode in the circuit that prevents current from leaving the battery but allows current to enter the battery for charging.

The light either goes off or turns green I dont remember. I always left it over night so I knew it was fully charged. Hope that helps .☺️

I have not used the one I have in some time as the connection used to charge it broke on the 4th use. Having said that, I believe that when you plug it in there is a red light showing it is charging; when it's done it turns green. Good luck!

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!

it won't charge it without a battery, but you can keep it plugged in and use the controller without batteries it just has to remain plugged in the whole time.

No, the batteries charge in the controller. You can't charge the battery alone. I have two controllers so I just swap them out or use the original AA batteries (keep the original battery case cover!) until I'm done.

The controller has LED indicators. When the battery is full, the battery LED indicator will flash green.

Yes it does. I've had the controller since March and I have yet to charge it again. I don't play very often but, battery life is excellent.

Yes mine does the same. I don't know what to do. I charge the battery and the light is green and all but it trips out after a few seconds and does so after that very quickly.

It could just be the product. Sometimes I have the same issue with mine. Over time the connection between the battery and stand has become less consistent in keeping a steady charge. I spend a little too much time trying to find a "sweet spot" where my controllers will stay docked and charged. Maybe contacting Energizer for warranty information would be a good move.

I assume that you mean "does it stop charging once the battery is fully powered?" My understanding is that this one does that, and seems to keep the battery charged if it stays inserted. The small chargers that came with my tools did not do that.

It has red and green LED indicators. It shows RED when the controller is charging, then it turns GREEN when charged.
