PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

REASON/SOLUTION

CHECK (red) LED is on.

Clips are not making a good 

connection to the battery. 

 
Connections are reversed.
 

Battery is severely 

discharged or defective.

Check for a poor connection 

to the battery. Make sure the 

connection points are clean. 
Unplug the charger and 

reverse the clips.
Have the battery checked.

The battery is connected and 

the charger is on but is not 

charging.

The charger is in Test Mode 

not Charge Mode.

Press the CHARGE, 

OUTPUT or BANK button 

until the ON or CHARGE 

LED lights.

Indicator lights are lit in an 

erratic manner not explained 

in the manual.

A button may have been 

pressed as the charger was 

plugged into the 120V AC 

outlet.

Make sure nothing is 

touching the control panel, 

then unplug the charger, wait 

a moment, and plug it back in.

CHECK (red) LED always 

flashes before the battery is 

completely charged.

This will happen if the battery 

did not reach a full charge 

within 24 hours. That may be 

due to a very large battery or 

a bank of batteries requiring 

more power than the charger 

can deliver in 24 hours.
Battery may be defective.

Reset the charger by 

unplugging the charger from 

the 120V AC outlet, waiting 

a moment, then plugging 

it back in and starting the 

charge cycle again.

Have the battery checked.

The CHARGED (green) LED 

turns on a few minutes after 

connecting the charger to the 

battery.

The battery may be fully 

charged or recently charged 

leaving the battery voltage 

high enough to appear to be 

fully charged.

If the battery is in a vehicle, 

turn the headlights on for 

a few minutes to reduce 

the battery voltage and try 

charging it again.

The measured current is 

much lower than expected.

The charger has reached 

the maximum voltage and is 

reducing the current.
The charger detected an 

over-temperature condition 

and has reduced the current 

to allow the charger to cool.

No problem; this is a normal 

condition.

See the “Over-temperature 

Protection” section of the 

manual.

The CHECK (red) LED is 

blinking. NOTE: The digital 

display (if present) blinks 

when the CHECK LED blinks.

Indicates the charger is in 

Abort Mode.

See “Aborted Charge” 

in the OPERATING 

INSTRUCTIONS” Section.
