Battery

[lojo55]

When I plug my Acer into AC, the light blinks red. Does it turn to green when it's fully charged?

It should hold a solid color when it is fully charged (not blink). Does it end up doing that or does it continue to blink even when fully charged?

That's what I need to know. How do I tell when the battery is fully charged? When the light stops blinking? Is there another way to tell? I have no way of telling that I KNOW of.
Thanks

The light stays red now, but when I unplug it, the screen goes blank, so apparently I need a new battery?

Try reseating the battery, sometimes that helps. If that does not work, either the battery or the connectors on the laptop are bad.

Thank you, I took the battery off and put it back on and now it's charging. Up to 96% now.
Thanks
