Troubleshooting - Model 24041-AA-S3
We use the word “Indicator” to mean the
various LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) showing
the various faults, modes, and conditions of
the battery and / or charger.
The words “unit”, “charger” or “recharg-
er” means your model 24041-AA-S3

Problem:
Power ON indicator does not light
Solution :
Check electrical outlet. If controlled by a wall
switch be sure switch is on and try to prevent
accidental shutting it off while charger is working.
Problem :
ERROR indicator lights
RED
(several possibilities can be the cause)
Solution :
1. Output leads - connections to battery may be
reversed. Switch (reverse) connections at battery
2. If still remains RED check battery voltage. If 6-
Volts or less battery may be damaged and should
not be recharged. If battery was just recently
removed from a load (lights, electronic equipment)
or not used for extended time without a charger-
maintainer, allow battery to “recover” by letting it
“rest” without a load. If battery is healthy and just
deeply discharged it should recover its voltage
(rise above 6 volts) sufficiently to allow charger to
begin an attempt to fully recharge it. If after bat-
tery has “rested” (see pg. 9) it may not be able to
be recovered – recharged. It should be safely dis -
carded – recycled.
Problem :
ERROR Indicator lights
RED
and is
blinking
.
Solution :
1. Battery(s) may be weak, heavily sulfated, or too
large to fully charge before unit times out. Allow bat-
tery to remain in Maintenance-Float mode for 72
hours or more and then attempt to recharge again. 2.
Battery may be so large it may require a second full
recharge. Repeat recharge by pressing and holding
Stop/Restart for 5 sec. until ALL LEDs light. Press
Stop/Restart button to begin full recharge.
