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...

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.

The green light means it's connected to an outlet. When you plug in to your scooter the light will go red meaning it's charging. When fully charged the light goes back to green.

If you ran your copter for 5 minutes, the battery should definitely be low enough to need charging. So if there was never a green led while you had it plugged in for charging, then there is definitely something wrong with either the charger or the battery. I'm guessing it is the charger since you did get 5 minutes on the battery, but I could be wrong.

It needs to be in the off position. Then when the charger plugs into the scooter, the little flat piece goes down. The charger is reddish when charging and green when finished.

Mine is red when charging and turns green after it's full. I never saw a flash of red and green. When unplugged and I placed my battery in the charger green light comes on turns red when I plug it.

This shows you how much "juice" is in the battery pack. 4 green lights means the battery pack is fully charged. When you press it and your phone is plugged into the device then your phone is charging. If you take your phone out then the battery pack automatically turns off.

I think the easiest way to tell would be to time the charging of a set of batteries that you know is mostly charged vs. a set of batteries that is totally dead. If they both take the same amount of time before the light indicates they're done, then you have a dumb charger. If the almost-charged batteries take much less time, your charger is smart.

A good question, Ann. The manual only says that after the first time you charge it, it will need shorter charging times. The first time I charged mine, I just left it plugged it for several hours, checked and the green light indicated a full charge. The SECOND time I recharged, however, the light went green after about 2 hours, so I attached it to the trimmer for use, and the LED indicator said it was still one level short of a full charge. So why did the green light come on? If you could just leave it charging overnight, you could be sure it's fully charged, but it has a warning light (orange) for when the battery is too hot and should be removed from the charger. So I recommend charging during the day and checking it periodically to see when it's green.

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.

When you plug it in with a dead battery, the light should be red., When it is done charging, the light will be green. If your charger does not do this, you have a bad charger. I had bought a lower priced model, and it did not work. So be sure to get a quality charger.

Eventually after the battery is fully charged the light goes to a steady green. If the battery is defective, a red light will indicate that. This charger is a little more critical of the overall health of the battery. Some people have commented that the charger says to replace the battery were other chargers say it is fine. I have only had this happen to me one time and I believe the battery probably should have been replaced.

You just need to click the button near the indicated lights. It will show you remain battery level, 4 bars means full power. If 1 bar left, you have to charge it .

Yes, you get a light signal when battery needs recharging and there is another light signal when it has finished charging. There is no "low battery" notice though. So its use it until the battery is done. Might be in the middle of a session.

How long did you charge it? Sometimes it has to charge a while, even over night if it has been out a long time. Then it might make a red light first. LET GO and wait a few minutes and it may turn green. if these quirks don't fix, I don't know what else to suggest.

There is an LED light. It's green when they are ready to provide charging, orange (hard to see it different than red) when the batteries are low, and red when the batteries don't have enough charge to charge something. It stops charging the batteries when they are full. The light also says when the batteries are done charging. It blinks when they are charging. What the light says is printed in the bottom of the unit.

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

when u plug it there is a red light, once is charged it is green. I leave it charging overnight.
