Post subject:  Vagabond Mini Lithium charger light flickers green

I have two VMLs; I just got them a few weeks ago, and I've used them once and they performed great. I notice that on one of the chargers (which I keep plugged in all the time as suggested), that the green light glows steady green when the battery is fully charged, but will flicker at a very high rate from time to time. I haven't noticed it on the other charger.

Not knowing what was causing the flicker, I turned on the battery while the ac adapter/charger was plugged in, then turned it off. The light now glows a steady green, its normal state.

This has happened a couple of times today, and I'm wondering if it's an indication of some problem with the charger.

Thanks in advance for some advice.

No. That is normal. However, it is not necessary to continually charge the VML, as they use lithium type batteries. The older V150/300 and VII should have a full charge maintained, but they use the older SLA technology. You can keep your lithium batteries in any state without harm.

Great. Thanks for your reply.
