TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

SOLUTION

The charger is making an 

audible clicking sound.

This battery charger is 

equipped with a self-resetting 

circuit breaker. This device 

protects the charger from 

temporary overloads. In the 

event of an overload, the 

breaker will trip open and 

after a short cooling off period 

will reset automatically. This 

process is known as cycling 

and can be recognized by an 

audible clicking sound.

Battery is defective.

Shorted battery cables or cable clamps.

Severely discharged battery, but otherwise 

it is a good battery.

Reverse connections at battery.

Have the battery checked.

Circuit breaker cycles when current draw is too 

high. Check for shorted cables or cable clamps 

and replace if necessary.

The battery may not want to accept a charge 

due to a run-down state. Allow charging to 

continue until battery has a chance to recover 

sufficiently to take a charge. If more than 20 

minutes, stop charging and have the battery 

checked.

Shut the charger off and correct the lead 

connections.

Charger makes a loud buzz 

or hum.

Transformer laminations vibrate (buzz).

Shorted Diode Assembly or Output 

Rectifier Assembly (hum).

No problem, this is a normal condition.

Have charger checked by a qualified 

technician.

POWER ON (red) LED is not 

lit. Charger will not turn on 

when properly connected.

No power at the receptacle.

Charger is not plugged in.

Poor electrical connection.

Check for open fuse or circuit breaker supplying 

AC outlet.

Plug the charger into an AC outlet.

Check power cord and extension cord for loose 

fitting plug.

The battery is connected and 

the charger is on, but is not 

charging.

Cable clamps are not making a good 

connection to the battery.

Connections are reversed.

Battery is defective (will not accept a charge).

Severely discharged battery, but otherwise 

it is a good battery.

Check for poor connection to battery and 

frame. Make sure connection points are clean.

Unplug the charger and reverse the battery 

connections.

Have battery checked.

The battery must measure at least 1 volt to start 

the charging process. If it is under 1 volt you 

must charge it using a separate charger to get 

the voltage up to at least 1 volt before you can 

use the SWTBC.

When you start the battery 

charger without an electric load 

or battery connected and you 

input 230V AC into the charger, 

the output port will show no 

voltage if tested with a meter.

This is an advantage design to avoid 

sudden short circuit through two clamps. 

It is normal.

Once you connect the battery charger with a 

driving voltage to the output port (the driving 

voltage must be equal or higher than 1.2V DC), 

you will see on the output port that the output 

voltage rises from 0 V DC to about 13.15 V DC 

immediately.

HOW TO CALCULATE CHARGING TIMES

You will need to determine the AH (Amp Hour) of the battery to be charged, then use the equation below to work

out the charging time required to re-charge a battery (the battery can be left connected at this point if required).

AH of Battery ÷ 1.5 (Amps of trickle charger) = Hours of charge (approx).
e.g. 15Ah ÷ 1.5 = 10 hours (charging time approx).
Allow 15% variance for inefficient/internal battery resistance.
