    I just got a new Bamboo GT. I noticed when charging that the block will show the red light, but the remote will indicate 100%.

    Which is correct? Its my understanding that the block would be green when @ 100%. Anyone else have this issue?

    I would think you want to go by the charging block light turning green as opposed to reading the percentage from the remote. It would be a more accurate representation that it's completely full.

    The reason is because the BMS (battery management system) is trying to balance the cells to give the most juice the battery pack can give. This process starts after you hit 100% and can take several hours. Of course, you can disconnect without it turning green. It won't affect the battery pack that much. While these sub-par battery packs are crap, they still hold similar amounts of charge so the voltage drift isn't a problem, so don't worry about it! If you really must know, you can manage battery pack health by going into the secret menu.
    1. With your remote on, navigate to the "More Info" page.
    2. Double click the right button, and then click and hold the left button. This may take several tries until you get used to it.

    4. You'll see individual battery voltages!
