I don't know what the indicator means, but assuming solid amber is the bulk charge, flashing green is the floating, and solid green is the maintainer mode (fully charged), the indicator means that it has not finished the bulk charge phase. Depending on the level of SoC on the 12v battery at the beginning, with a 0.8A which is very small, it may take overnight to get the 12v battery fully charged.
#The battery buddy full
Just for a reference, when I charged my PP's 12v battery from 12.4v using my 5Amp Victron automatic charger, it still took at least 2-3 hours of bulk charge to get it up to a full charged level of 13.4v. The graph below shows the 12v battery voltage reading during the charge session on my 2020 PP using 5Amp Victron automatic charger. Started at 14:00 and the bulk charge phase did not finish until ~17:00.


Then it took another 4.5hours of absorption phase charge before going into reconditioning phase and then float and maintain/storage phases. "Full charge" can have different definitions. The voltage the Prime maintains might be less than 12.0 volts, and it runs for years that way. A nominal 12 volt lead acid battery is 100% charged at 12.7 volts, and that is OK. A charger probably puts 14 volts into the charge to get it into the battery, then levels out at 13-something volts, and that's OK. Sam's post #16 above makes an important point.
