Red (orange) means it's charging, blue means it's fully charged. and since eg gsm draws power directly from the battery, after a while charging is triggered again -- thus the led switches to orange again. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Ahh, well, I've never heard accumulator associated with batteries. It's generally an umbrella term for anything that collects something (which makes sense, in an rechargeable battery) -- or else a register in a CPU. :P ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: [SHR] Why is the Powerbutton sometimes red and sometimes blue while loading
Well, we don't call them accumulators here. The correct name would be rechargeable battery, but generally we would just say 'battery' and let context take care of the rest.
