When I charge my MacBook Air, the light usually shows green. Recently, when I plug it in, the light is red. Is there a reason for the green light vs. the red light at the end of the cord?

Green Light - MacBook Air battery is fully charged to 100%

Amber (Orange) Light - MacBook Air battery is being charged

Note that the Amber light will turn to green once charging is complete.
