Abstract
Apparatus for indicating multiple operating states of a battery charger is formed by first and second color light emitting circuits coupled to a control circuit and one of the output terminals of the battery charger with first and second sense terminals of the respective first and second color light emitting circuits coupled to the other one of the battery charger output terminals such that operating bias may be applied to the light emitting circuits. The light emitting elements of the first and second color light emitting circuits may be positioned to emit light through a common diffusing lens to provide a third color substantially distinct from the first and second colors.
