When the green light begins to show, it will continue until the battery charger output current falls below the optimum recharge threshold or until the absorption timer runs out.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Green Light<\/strong>: When the green light is lit, your battery charger is on standby mode. This means it will keep a full charge for when you need to use them again.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Alternating Green and Red lights<\/strong>: This might signal a reverse polarity connection between the charger output cables and the battery, a sulfated battery, or a corroded battery terminal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Other light indicators for your reference:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Red Light<\/strong>: When the red light is on, <a class=\"tve-froala fr-basic\" style=\"outline: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/batterytools.net\/battery-about-to-die-what-does-it-mean\/\" data-lasso-id=\"21622\"> your battery charger<\/a> has started to charge.
