Green light on stating fully charged, should I disconnect tender or will light cut off.

If I remember correctly, it should just turn off. I used it for a dead but relatively new battery and it worked perfectly. Just keep in mind that it took three days or so to fully charge.

Keep it connected unless you need to use the car. The idea of a tender is that it will maintain the current battery charge that the car has without over charging it and ruining the battery.

Yes , you can disconnect tender if you want somewhere but if your car keep in garage I recommend leave it charge until you drive. Keeping battery charge keeping it live longer .

You can disconnect if you are going to use the car soon or else keep it plugged in so that the car continues to receive minimal current in order to maintain full charge!

I've been using this charger for about 6 months. I put it on when I'm not going to be using the car for a while. When the light is green, the battery is fully charged. You can leave it on the car, and it will keep a trickle charge going to keep the battery charged if your not planning to drive the car often. I'm using this on a 2005 645Ci. My mechanic said that I should make at least a 20 mile trip per week to keep the battery charged through the alternator. I figure that if I'm driving less than that I should leave the charger on the car.

It seems to shut off when full charge is reached, don't know the answer too second question.

It shows that the power is successfully connected. It goes out but never lets you know when fully charged. Sorry, I just let it go for a few hours.

You just let the green light on! It is supposed to be like this. So you know if it is charged or not. I always keep my controllers attached to the energizer charging station. I never had problems with controllers dying while I'm playing a game.

Usually a power strip has an on/off switch onboard, but if yours does not, then sure, plug it in to the conserve power switch, and switch the whole thing on and off at once! Works great and has a little green light in the switch to remind you that it's on.

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

If all the lights flash on and off, then it's fully charged. But you can tell by unplugging it and if all the lights up to 100% light then it means it's 100% charged.

Ou can tell the it's fully charged when the light stops blinking and stays green. But as of lately the powerpak's battery life has diminished greatly.

I think when the load is gone it shuts off automatically. Either the devices are disconnected or become fully charged.

when fully charged the green light comes on and the amperage drops to zero. I leave it plugged in and in this state until ready to use.

There is a light that indicates if it is plugged in. The light changes color when the sandwich is ready, at which point you disconnect it

Once the strip has been cut, it is no longer attached to the power so it will not light. You will need to re-splice it to the strip that is connected to the power adapter.

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.

When the light turns green it is fully charged. The light will come on if there is a power outage.

I leave mine connected to my laptop most of the time. and when I disconnect it, my laptop is always charged. just because your green light is on on your laptop does not mean you have to disconnect from the charger. its just showing that you can use it w/out the power connected

Yes, the light starts off red if the amps are set right. It will turn green when fully charged.

I see the first answer of this question mentioned that it should be disconnected as soon as it has full charge or almost full charge. I understood the different way. It can be charging for 24/7 continuously without unplug until you are going to use it. So which method is Righr?
