TROUBLESHOOTING
(1) Ensure that the battery you are trying to charge and the settings on the charger match. Battery
type (such as NiMH or LiPo), battery capacity, number of cells (charge voltage), and charge rate must
all be correct.
(2) Check that the input cable and output cables:
*Have proper connectors and are in good condition *Are not frayed, worn, cut, or damaged
*Are the proper gauge (output 2.5mm, 14ga) *Are proper length <= 30cm (12") on output side
(3) Attach the charger input connectors to a 12V automotive battery that is in good condition and fully
charged. Wiggle the terminal clips into the battery posts to insure that you have a good connection.
Many charger problems are due to poor quality or inadequate switching AC-DC power supplies, so this
test is necessary to eliminate those from the list of suspects.
(4) Try another battery for charging. If the RC battery is in poor condition,
over discharged
, or in
some other way defective, the charger may correctly refuse to charge it based on safety algorithms.
(5) Try another RC battery type. For example switch to a NiMH battery if you are failing to charge
Lithium types. Success with one type but failure with another generally indicates that the charger is
working properly. The failing battery type is almost certainly in poor condition, wired incorrectly, or the
charger may be improperly set.
(6) Contact your dealer with full details and description of the problem, including the type of input
power source, RC battery type and cell count, and history of the charger - that is, has the charger
been working properly before, or failed from new condition?
(7) I have an OUTPUT CIRCUIT ERROR * Be sure that your pack balance connector type, polarity,
and wiring system matches the multi-adapter attached to the charger.
* Carefully inspect pack connector, balance wire harness and Multi-Adapter for damage, wear, etc.
If OK, then:
* Spray all connectors (including the one in charger) with de-oxide contact spray, then insert-remove
connectors several times, then spray one last time and re-connect.
* Use a solid DC PS or fully charged CAR battery for Input power (poor power supplies cause MANY
problems…)
* Test charger using a lithium battery known to be in good condition.
* Try a different brand battery (preferably with different balance connector and multi-adapter type)
(8) My LCD does not light, or lights but no characters are visible. In most cases this happens when a
charger has been dropped, or suffered some heavy vibration. The ribbon cable between LCD unit and
charger can become loose. Have your dealer open the charger and re-seat the ribbon cable.
