If only the green light is on (the one farthest from the edge
of the card), it is indicating that the battery is fully charged
(above 8.6 volts). When the card is getting power from
the battery only, this light will stay on for a very short
time. However, the battery will continue to backup the
RamKeeper for several hours. (See the chart below.)

As soon as power is restored to the Transformer, it begins
charging the battery again and the green light will come on.
