Correct me if i am wrong but my understanding is amber is a warning for over charge.
Nope...it's the under charging voltage rate indicator.
From their webpage (note poor column organized when pasted here):
Interpretation:
Voltage: Output: Engine running: Engine stopped (electrics off):
>15.20v ■■ Green / Red alternating over-charging – regulator problem not applicable
>13.20v ■ Green steady normal charging exceptional battery charge (uncommon)
>12.45v ■ Amber steady under-charging – alternator problem normal battery, charged and in good health
>12.25v ■■ Red slow flashing not charging – battery low fair battery charge
>12.05v •• Red 2 flashes, repeating not charging – battery low low battery charge
>11.80v ••• Red 3 flashes, repeating not charging – battery very low very low battery charge
<11.80v •••• Red 4 flashes, repeating not charging – battery very low consider renewing battery

(e.g. headlights)
** a small number of users confuse the amber and red colours. However, amber is always steady, reds are always flashing
