Troubleshooting

The BCDi320 is designed to provide years of reliable service and to auto-recover in the event 

of an operational failure. In the event of malfunction, the unit is fitted with eight LED indica-

tors and an audible alarm to help diagnose the cause of the issue. Below is a list of potential 

issues, and how to repair them.

No Input Power Detected  

The charger is not detecting any Input power. Using a 

multimeter, check that the power source is working.  

Check that the input fuse hasn’t blown. If the fuse is open, 

replace it with the recommended fuse listed on the label 

and reconnect to power. If the I/P LED still does not glow, 

then there is likely an internal failure and the charger will 

have to be returned for service.

Low Input Voltage Indication

The charger has detected that the input voltage has 

dropped below the minimum level needed for normal 

operation. The charger will shut off and wait for the 

voltage to recover.

Charger Over Temperature Indication

The charger has detected that its internal temperature 

is above safe operating limits. The charger will shut 

off until the temperature has returned to normal limits. 

If this happens frequently, the charger may need to be 

remounted for better air circulation.

Battery Over Temperature Indication

The charger has detected that the battery is too hot to 

safely charge (>43°C/110°F) and shut off. The charger 

will automatically reconnect when the battery cools to a 

safe temperature (<32°C/90°F). If this happens frequently, 

particularly in relatively normal ambient temperatures, 

the battery is likely damaged or defective and should be 

replaced.
