Porsche branded trickle charger - lights..

[Stealth997]

Hi All

Does anyone know what the lights represent on the Porsche branded trickle charger?
Having had mine plugged in for the last month, I've noticed that the battery light is still amber over the "half battery" symbol and by now I would have expected it to be green on "full".

I believe it's a rebadged CTEK model.
Thanks

I will have to dig the instructions out when I get home to get the exact definitions, but I am sure that they say that the battery should be fully charged after an absolute maximum of 3 days connected to the charger. At that point it moves to the green light.

Mine generally only takes a few hours to move from orange to green. The battery is only a month old, but the car is seldom used.

I've got a CTEK version and mine is also constantly showing the "half battery" symbol light. Since the car always starts without any problem I'm not overly concerned tbh.

My ones go to the green fully charged light quite quickly.

Mine is nearly always on green occasionally going to amber half battery for a short period. If I open the door it goes to amber, charges for around 10 minutes and then to green.

My CTEK generally stays on amber. When on the full charge mode it goes green once fully charged.

Assuming it is a Ctek 3600 - http://www.ctek.com/files/manual/Multi-XS-3600_uk....

Thanks for the replies. Seems to work OK and I don't have a flat battery.
Cheers

PS - I think it was an RTFM issue.
