14. TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE REASON/SOLUTION
Battery clamps do not
spark when touched
together.
The charger is equipped
with an auto-start feature. It
will not supply current to the
battery clamps until a battery
is properly connected. The
clamps will not spark if
touched together.
No problem; this is a normal
condition.
Three LEDs come on
for 2 seconds, then
turn off.
The charger is plugged into an
AC outlet.
No problem; this is normal.
The charger will not
turn on when properly
connected.
AC outlet is dead.
Poor electrical connection.
Battery is defective.
Check for open fuse or circuit
breaker supplying AC outlet.
Check power cord and
extension cord for loose
fitting plug.
Have battery checked.
I cannot select a 6V or
12V setting.
The charger is equipped
with Auto Voltage Detection,
which automatically detects
the voltage and charges the
battery.
No problem; this is normal.
I press the display
button, but do not
see the percentage of
charge.
When first connected to a
battery, the display shows
voltage only.
This is normal. The percentage
of charge is only displayed
during charging.
The display shows
“
bAd
/
bAt
/
F01
”.
The battery voltage is still
below 10V (for a 12V battery)
or 5V (for a 6V battery) after 2
hours of charging.
The battery may be defective.
Make sure there are no
loads on the battery. If there
are, remove them. If there
are none, have the battery
checked or replaced.
The display shows

battery. If there are remove
them. If there are none,
have the battery checked or
replaced.
