I totally underestimated the things! I checked the voltage with no battery hooked up! There is no voltage when not hooked up to a battery - it jumps to 14.5 V as soon as it senses the battery. The pilot light is red under no load, turns amber, then red as the battery becomes fully charged. The voltage drops to 12.9. These $7 Chinese chargers are smart charging! All four of them work just fine!
I will edit out the bad news in my previous post.
Thank you jrnymn7. I also had an experience like that with a one way battery monitor. Thank goodness I had not got around to complaining to the seller. I had given two of the Minders to a farmer friend of mine and his were still working. He reminded me about the color change and it somehow triggered the thought that I should try with a battery hooked up.
