AG-126 charger-light is orange?! - m

[kaz171]

Been using for about 2 mos. worked good - red when charging, green when charged.
last couple charges, put in an empty trustfire 18650-red light as usual. Went back to check when it's usually ready and the light is green, but this time the light was orange?!.
Put in an 18350 and it went back to normal- red charging, green ready.
put in a panasonic 18650 after that and orange at the end of the charge again.

What's goin on!?!?

Could be the battery. Have you been able to try it on another charger?

It turns orange on mine too, but it means that it's almost through charging. Because not too long after it turns orange, it will turn green.

Hope this helps.

Orange usually means that the red and green led are on at the same time. Usually it's just annoying and doesn't affect how the battery charges. But I would make sure those 18650s aren't damaged, just to be safe. Sometimes the fault lies with the charger, but you said other batteries don't produce the orange light, so it must be the battery in your case.
