I charged the board for a while and the red light kept blinking but when I unplugged the board shows 100% charged? Shouldn’t the blinking stop when fully charged?

Hi,

I had to leave mine plugged in for several hours before it turned green. I know that they slow down the charge when the battery is almost full charge to increase the life span.
