thanks for any info

James,
My 71's battery indicator was notoriously inaccurate. It did the same thing as yours, going to green when it was plugged in, and then showing yellow at rest without being charged by the Univolt.
It might have to do with the age of the instrument, or a grounding issue. The control panel lives in a fiberglass end cap, so good and solid ground connections are very important.
I'd say if there is no functional issue with your battery, just ignore the charge indicator, and use your volt meter to establish battery condition.
