Well, I still have all four feet left, but they are just hanging on!
As far as the meter goes, it's just a needle that moves when the button is depressed when the unit is turned on. If it is turned off, the button does not work at all. While off, the needle will stay in the red. When the battery is completely dead, the needle will stay in the red. When the M148 is turned on, the needle will turn to the right depending on how much the battery is charged. Of course, all the way to the right in the green is fully charged. Nothing on the whole M148 that I have is illuminated!
