The light turns green before the charge is 100%. The light is letting you know that the battery is close to full. It's a little easier on the battery to stop charging it before it hits 100%.
100% is an arbitrary point and the battery is not really full at 100%, but beyond that the battery life will be reduced, and far enough beyond the battery can explode. The 100% point is selected as a compromise between as full as possible and as full as safe.
