Progressive Dynamics Converter/Charger 4645 - HELP?

Earlier this summer, I replaced my original Parallax converter/charger to a PD 4645. When I finished the replacement, it seemed to be working just ducky. I was quite proud!

Fast forward to yesterday. The 4600 series does not come with a Remote Pendant, so I had purchased one separately. I sent the instructions, the pendant, and original 4645 jumper wire to my ham radio friend, who is a wiring genius, for him to cut and solder the pendant to the jumper. I am not comfortable with such fine wire soldering and had other things on my mind.

I installed the Remote Pendant yesterday and the little green light blinked happily away (a fast blink). Today, it is still blinking fast.

Here is what the Remote Pendant instructions say:

BOOST MODE: green light will stay on.

NORMAL MODE: green light will flash slow (once every second) at more than 50% charge and flash fast when battery is at 100% charge.

STORAGE MODE: green light flashes very slowly, once every 8 seconds.


Does anyone know if the thing is working, since it's still blinking fast? How long does it take for the battery to go into storage mode (VERY slow blink)??

Thanks!
