Status lights are different from maker to maker, some may be sensitive(like my MPI) some may have a buffer. You just have to find out what's normal for yours, barring any problems. Even basic digital servos draw a spike of current when they are suddenly changing direction at speed, add to that four or more servos............
freakingfast,
So flicks of red don't bother you but they drive me to re-charge....
I probably should have mentioned that I am talking from an A123 perspective and I don't know if that changes your thoughts any. As you probably know, when those batteries go they go; fast! One flick of red and that is early warning for me.
I'm not sure I would recommend something different, but the OP was talking NiMh and it is on a basic set-up so maybe I should have clarified my position.
You stop at solid red by the way?
