Hi , I just got a vagabond2 from someone and had a question about charging.....
After charging for a few hours the green light comes on but also they both start to blink....red & green ! Then if i don't unplug it the red light comes back on......
If i unplug it , it seems to work fine but not sure how much a charge it has....
Thanks

The specific characteristics will depend on the specific age of the inverter. It is not normal for the green light to come on, then go off, however.

If I were a betting type, I would imagine the battery nearing its end of life and causing some confusion in the voltage comparitor in the charging system. Often, an auto parts store can test the battery for you. You can also check to see if the battery is swollen or cracked, or if it heats up during charging, or smells like rotten eggs/sulfur.
