The charging light on the Shark Stratos vacuum cleaner acts as an indicator for the battery's current charge level while the unit is plugged in and charging. It uses different pulsing colors to communicate the state of the battery.
Understanding the Shark Stratos Charging Indicator
When you plug your Shark Stratos in to charge, an LED light illuminates to show you the progress. This light changes color and behavior based on how much charge the battery has accumulated. This is a convenient way to quickly check the battery status without needing a separate display.
Charging Light Colors and Meanings
The provided reference specifically details the pulsing light indicators observed during the charging process:
- LED will pulse yellow from 0 - 75% charge: This indicates the battery is in the earlier stages of charging, from empty up to three-quarters full.
- LED will pulse green from 76% - 99% charge: As the battery approaches a full charge, the light changes to pulse green.
- LED will pulse white when reaching 100% charge: The light pulses white as the battery is completing its charge cycle, signifying it is almost full.
Here is a quick summary of the charging light states:
| Light Color | Behavior | Charge Level |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow | Pulsing | 0% - 75% |
| Green | Pulsing | 76% - 99% |
| White | Pulsing | Reaching 100% |
(Note: The reference focuses on the pulsing states during charging. Consult your Shark Stratos manual for information on light states when fully charged or indicating errors.)
Understanding these light indicators helps you know how long the vacuum needs to charge or if it's nearing completion.
