Description


Green LED instead of Blue while charging and at 80% capacity.
Beginning with My Passport Wireless Firmware 1.05.01, when the device is left charging for long periods of time, the battery will discharge down to 80% and will maintain that level of charge. The amount of time for this to happen varies as follows:
  • Firmware ver. 1.05.01: When the device is left charging and powered on for a 9 hour period of time or longer.
  • Firmware ver. 1.07.02: When the device is left charging and powered on for a 72 hour period of time or longer.

At 80% the power capacity, the Power LED will be green, not blue.

Please see the Battery charge States in the table below.
