Kyblack76 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 If it's an intellicharger, the float mode it goes into is designed for long-term use. I've left mine on for 6 weeks while I've been out of town COOL ! so even when the light is green, its tending ?? So to speak? i did NOT know that... ( i thought ONLY amber ment charge) Quote SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Green light = done charging, charger is in float mode at ~13.3-13.5v iirc.

Kyblack76 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) Green light = done charging, charger is in float mode at ~13.3-13.5v iirc. Pull out a DMM and check I leave a fluke on it at all times.. What i have seen, is, when it dips,.. i need TO RESET the charger,.. to go amber.... EDIT- does that make sense Chris? It wont sit and charge when needed, 4 weeks out. It will charge, up to a point.. then.. go green.. ive NEVER seen it go amber, fill, go green, ... wait, then GO AMBER again, on its own.. never....

Kyblack76 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I have seen it sitting on green.... i restart it.. (cuz my meter sees low) and it goes RIGHT INTO amber.. and charge.... feel me?

SnowDrifter Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) You shouldn't have to do that. It's normal to stay green. No need to switch back and forth. It charges the batteries, the flips into float mode to it keeps them topped off. All on it's own. Set it and forget it. What sort of voltage are you measuring?

skittlesRgood Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 lol it wont go back to amber. if its amber that means its in serious charge mode. green means its in float charge, also called maintenance mode. it wont ever need to go back to amber because the battery is still fully charged.

SnowDrifter Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Yeah if you turn it off then back on it will reset and do the charge cycle again. My question is: Why are you manually cycling it? There's not need to Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not need to Well, I have it plugged in at all times. I get home from work.. its on green. I turn it off... go inside, grab a beer, and come out, and turn it back on, and it goes from a float charge (green) to a amber charge 13.3 ish... Ive done that for months...??
