Troubleshooting Guide

 

 

Problem / Condition 

Solution 

Power ON, indicator does not light 

Check electrical outlet. If controlled by a wall switch 
be sure switch is on and avoid accidentally shutting 
it off while charger is working.

1. Polarity of wiring harness to aircraft battery is 
reversed. Verify correct polarity. 

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 battery cannot be 
recovered or recharged, it should be recycled. 

Power-Status

 indicator lights FLASHING 

RED

1. Battery(s) may be weak, heavily sulfated, or too 
large to fully charge before charger times out. Allow 
battery to remain in Maintenance-Float mode for 7

hours or more, then attempt to charge again.  

2. Battery may be so large it requires a second full 
recharge.

 

Repeat charge cycle by pressing and 

holding 

Start-Stop Reset

 switch for 5 sec. until 

ALL indicators light.

. If recharging multiple batteries, 

or more 

complete recharge cycles may be needed. Repeat 
full recharge by pressing Stop-Reset button again. 
If still 

FLASHING RED

, you may need to charge 

each battery separately. 

After battery has been completely charged,

Battery still has an unacceptable level of sulfation 
and must remain in

indicator) for 7

hours or 

longer. Then stop charger by pressing 

Start-Stop

repeat (up to 

full cycles) or until

Battery may be weak due to sulfation, self

a full recharge and recheck after completion. If still

follow procedure above.
