3. CHARGER IS CHARGING BUT THE GREEN LED DOES NOT ILLUMINATE IN
A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME: The battery may be large and requires more
time to fully charge than originally expected, there may be another appliance drawing
electric power from the battery while it is charging, or the battery may be defective. Also, a
newly purchased battery may not be fully charged and may take longer to charge initially.
4. THE LED REVERTS TO ILLUMINATING AMBER AFTER TURNING GREEN.
There may be another appliance drawing electric power from the battery causing its voltage
to drop below the reset level. The battery charger then goes back into full charge mode.
Also, the charger connections at the battery may be intermittent or the battery may be
defective.
