Question 1

Has anyone experienced %charged staying at 95 percent... Then if I unplug and re-plug it in then it shows 100 percent?  Just odd timing or an issue?

Accepted Answer

The reason it shows that the battery is 100% charged, is because the voltage of the battery hasn't dropped down to its "resting" voltage. It still has a "float" charge which WILL decrease and be completely gone in about 3hrs. So when you unplug the charger and plug it back in, the charger thinks you're trying to charge a battery that is already fully charged because it has +13.0 volts (float voltage). Lead acid batteries are 100% charged at +12.6 volts (resting voltage), AGM batteries are 100% charged at +12.8 volts (resting voltage).Basically if you unplug the battery while it's still charging, you have to wait for the battery to get back down to its resting voltage for the charger to know the exact condition of the battery which takes about +2-3hrs. If it's your car battery you can just turn your lights on for 15-20 minutes without the engine running and stick it back on the charger. You'll see it start back at the actual % charge of the battery. Hope this helped.

Question 2

what does it mean when "charging in progress" is blinking and "charging complete" is off?

Accepted Answer

Suggest you read the simple manual that comes with the product.  But the scenario you describe means it is charging your battery. When the "Charging complete" light illuminates, the battery is charged.

Question 3

Possibly really dumb question, but I found this item through a solar powered battery charger review site. IS this solar powered?

Accepted Answer

It is not solar powered, but it is a great battery charger.

Question 4

What's the difference between the California compliant charger and the non-compliant charger? What does the one do different then the other?

Accepted Answer

California compliant units make a sound when charging is complete. This is to provide more efficient energy usage by the charger (less time plugged into 110 outlet)
