That's a fair price for a generic XML MS900.
Regarding the charger, it's LED is red when charging, green when not charging. It charges based on battery voltage, so you can't charge it if it's already fully charged. The recharge is an automatic process. It terminates when a high shut-off voltage (~8.4v) is reached. You can leave it plugged in overnight. Yes, green means 100% charged, although it can also mean the circuit to battery is not complete, so that the charger cannot measure voltage to determine it's necessary to begin charging.
I'm curious, where did your light ship from - China? The Amazon link gives no info regarding Crazy Cart's address, and google is not helpful.
