The engine battery is red, and the three trolling batteries are orange on the Power-Pole Charge app after several days of charging because the CHARGE™ system cannot charge batteries on its own. It requires the boat's engine to be running to recharge the trolling motor batteries, which in turn charges the engine battery. Without the engine running, the batteries may not fully charge, leading to their status being displayed as red or orange, indicating low or incomplete charge levels.
