What setting do you use? The car or snowflake? I use snowflake and it never seems to be on the green setting. Always charging. Not sure why.

Car is 2016 17k Miles. Battery is factory. Should still be new. Never let me down.

I have a MKS 5.0 which I use on my CL 63. I have tried both snowflake (there is an icon that looks like an optima battery, I think it is for AGM types) and regular car battery. It did seem to take longer on the snowflake setting and both take quite some time (5+ hours) to charge. Especially true if it has been sitting. I have always wondered if it is charging both batteries during the process. I know it is different (smarter) than some of the old battery killer chargers that I have used in the past.
Love it though, batteries last a long time and stay healthy.
