I drove for a very long time with no movement in the indicator light. Then it went down one bar, but it doesn't return after being fully charged. Why?

Mine did the same thing, only dropping a bar or two and needing to be recharged. After several talks I purchase another. Strangely enough the Charged light started to drop more and more. It now goes down 7 bars and time to recharge batteries.

I had taken my vehicle back to the installer he stated it was a faulty fuse connector that caused the problem. He upgraded the fuse connectors and I am back in business. He did not charge me anything for this problem. Thanks everyone for your help, it was very much appreciated.

Disconnect your battery cable for about 30 seconds and reconnect it then drive normally. Hopefully the light will stay out and depending on your car type it may not have to do too much re-learning. Check your manual first to see what it says you have to re-set after a dead battery.

My car moved and played music. Unless it's the batteries, it must be broken. Exchange it if you can.

I think you may have gotten a defect battery because I only charged mine for an hour or 2 when I first got it. (I disconnected it because the charged light turned green) and I was able to use it all day yesterday and today. I still haven't gotten the low batter indicator.

The indicator light seems to have a slight delay when all connected. It does not light when put into the power outlet alone. Be sure it is securely plugged into the cord that goes to the battery. Make sure that the cord is well connected to the battery as that connection is sometimes "stiff", but positive when it makes the connection. If, after all of this, the indicator light does not go on then suspect the charger or the battery. I would bet on the battery as there is not much to wear out on the charger. I had to buy them in this order when we were given our powerwheel. It has worked well for several months since then.

When mine did that I turned it off and examined the unit. I cleaned out the loading wheel and chute, and turned it on again. Everything had to be reset.The same thing may happen if the battery is getting low and needs to be changed.

The problem may be that one end of the indicator bar is not properly set in the track. Mine was not. I was able to take the back off and reseat it without breaking. Good luck.

Not sure whether you fixed the problem or not. Sorry for the late answer. It might be a bad ac adapter you have or the battery is dead.

Haven't heard whether the factory addressed the problem. Mine still works fine, 'knock on wood'. I bought mine a year ago, knowing about the problem. I keep the backlight turned off in hopes that it preserves the life of the display. I've only used the charger maybe 10-12 times, however. I still don't recommend spending the xtra $$ on this unit because it did nothing to preserve my optima batteries. And it doesn't even have an engine start mode.

You can see a status bar of steps taken by tapping twice by the amount of lights solid or blinking. It has fallen off twice. One I had to drive after work down dark roads and a dark recycle center to fortunatly find it on the ground. Good things I was not mugged. This alone I might switch to the One. I am still within the return pirod.

My indicator does the same , but stops once I start moving forward. ( not sure why ) . My indicator does not give me a true reading to the battery charge . The lights run from green to red , red being that you require a charge . On mine I get the level down by three to four lights ( never reaches the red and I need to charge her up. ( and the batterys are brand new ) !

Check all connections, and press in on the remote wheel when accelerating. Maybe that would help.

Return it would be my best suggestion, get your money back now while you still can. According to the user manual the closest issue that it covers to the one you are describing is: 2. What to do if it can't start up? Answer: Please check whether you have installed the OBD II connector correctly, and whether you have turned on the power supply. So try it on another OBDII car if you can and verify it is not something wrong with your vehicle, then return it when you are certain it is a piece of junk.

My red light went off after 3 min. of charging. I can't tell if it's charged or not...

Once it is plugged in, press the on button. If it does not roll, then you got a broken one. Return it.

When mine was fully charged the light stopped flashing and stayed on. Regards
