Can someone explain the blue light? If it's on does that mean my aux battery is getting juice from my starter battery?

Main (starter) battery is charged and aux battery is now being charged is what the blue light means.

To be honest the battery life seems really good and I have yet to get to the point where the battery has gotten low enough to get some kindof warning . There is a very small led light which is either red or blue I'd imagine that is probably the indicator light to let a person knowwhen the battery is low. I would have to check the manual to be positive though. I hope this info still helps.

No offense, but you are making a common experimental error. It sounds like you are saying your car started because you put this charger on it for an hour. That is an invalid conclusion. You don't really know the charger was the reason the car started. To determine if that was the case, you'd need to charge the battery fully, then leave the lights on for the same period of time as before, then turn them off, immediately try and fail to start the car as you did before, and finally leave the car alone for the same hour you said you put the charger on the car. Then, try to start the car. This would be a true and valid A-B experiment. I'm betting the car would start in this second scenario. Anytime a lead-acid battery is run down to the point where it won't start a car, if you shut off the battery drain and let the battery rest for a while, the battery will usually recover and be able to start the car.

First thing to do would be to get the battery tested. That way you know if the battery is at fault. If its not the battery it could be a faulty wiring harness, but that's pretty uncommon. The ballast turns on when you turn the headlights on, so if you accidentally left the headlights on then the ballast will drain the battery. I would re check the wiring and make sure everything is in its place. If that's not it then I would ask for a replacement.

Check your battery ,sounds like battery not properly connected...or dead/damaged.

In the off position. There will be a red light on the front, then it changes to blue (I think) when it is fully charged. I don't have to charge mine very often at all.

There is a possibility that the battery and the ACC line off the radio were mixed, you can try reversing them. It won't hurt anything. All the battery does this keep the radio in your presets working that's what that particular wires is for in the ACC line is to give you power to the unit only when the ignition is on so if they are backwards. It really won't hurt anything, but you won't be able to turn your radio off with your key and if you manually turn the radio off when you turn it back on it should go back to the factory resets. I hope that helps. I apologize, but I must add my $.02. I agree with the other person if you're able to send it back and look for a much better unit. There are many of them out there they cost more. I had one. Mine lasted 6 months than the GPS dropped out and DVDs started skipping unfortunately I was unable to send the unit back and if you had the other units that I bought from san media when I followed broke down and bought a namebrand I purchased Alpine I had more than 2 1/2 times the money I paid for the good unit. I've had the new unit in my car for going on a 8 months now. I think a lab had absolutely 0 problems with the unit works good has a great picture wish I'd done it before wasted all the money I did anyway have a great day, if you need anything else, feel free to ask and I hope everything works right for you

I left mine charging overnight, just to be sure. Unbelievably, I haven't charged it again in weeks and its still going strong! I'd recharge it every few weeks or so to make sure you get a good sound. The red light is just to acknowledge that its connected and charging, if it comes on and is plugged in. It also makes a bloop sound when you press and hold the power button, to acknowledge that it is ready to be paired with your bluetooth device to play music. When you are ready to turn it off and disconnect bluetooth, you press and hold the power button for a few sec. and you will hear the sound again before it shuts off. That's how I preserve the battery. I've never heard distortion or feedback. Maybe its time to charge it if thats what you are getting.

Like other have said here, the head unit is light. The directions are pretty spot on if you're hooking it up yourself, so there's not much room for error. Each wire is labeled as to what it controls. If you're not getting power, and you've already pressed the on button, then it must be a wiring problem or defective unit. Hope that helps!

I have no idea - don't have that problem. It could be the audio signal that your battery needs replaced.

There should be a little blue light that comes on on the bottom that let's you know that it's charging. If the light isn't coming on, but it's charging maybe it blew out? Otherwise, I'd contact the company. They're really approachable. :)

The batteries have an internal microchip that tells the charger to come on and when to turn off after a full charge. Blue means the battery is telling the charger it is full. If your battery isn't charging then perhaps its near the end of its life or is defective. The charger is always blue when plugged in with a full battery or no battery at all. Only turns purple/pink when charging. Check your pins aren't bent on the charger also.

I have no idea. Sounds like a mechanical malfunction and not a battery problem to me! Good luck!

There is a charging light that stays on while the battery is charging; the 'maximum charging' light does not stay on the entire time on mine, and mine works fine. So - maybe you should have yours checked out or return it..

I wondered too and the answer is not in the manual which is just a paragraph or two. My guess is that the red light indicates the power is on and is recharging the battery. That makes most sense.

Hi Tom, when charging, the recriver light show red, and if full charged, it will turn to blue.
