My original AM branded conditioner will go green after about 3 hours. Then it cycles between green and orange while it is plugged in. I use the socket in the trunk.

How long is the cycle interval? Maybe I need to look at mine a bit longer? LOL

Usually a couple of hours or so depending on the condition of the battery

OH! Well, in that case, mine may be just fine. I'll just have to go and check on it a couple times. Thanks!

Hi did you ever figure this out? My CTEK charger is AM branded but I believe is also a 800. The orange and green lights alternate which the manual seems to suggest means its not working for a variety of possible reasons. I guess I can leave it on and see if it ever hits green solid, I assume when charging its supposed to be solid orange which mine only indicates for about the first 15 seconds after its plugged into the wall.

Using the boot port & I understand my battery is 4 years old. Battery gave me no trouble starting since I bought in early September.

Mine has a series of lights, not just one. Not sure how yours works. When you first plug them in, it can sometimes take overnight for the lights to go all the way. When you start it, it goes through the charging program and shows progress of that, not the status of the battery.
