Chapter 12: Errors and warnings

Chapter 12: Errors and warnings

During a charge cycle there might be messages coming 

from the charger indicating something is wrong.
Below is a summary of possible messages and explanations.

Reverse Connection

If you connect the clamps in the wrong polarity (positive 

to negative or negative to positive), the charger displays 

REVERSE CONNECTION! 

Reconnect the clamps correctly. 

Check Clamp connection

To make sure both sides of the clamps are gripping the 

terminals, rock the each clamp back and forth. A poor 

connection will prevent charging. 
If the message reappears after you have correctly 

reconnected the clamps, clean the terminals and battery 

posts and reconnect. 

Frozen Battery

A warning from the charger that the battery under charge 

shows signs of being frozen. Thaw the battery and try to 

charge it later.
Charging a frozen battery is dangerous and should 

never be done. 

Battery Temperature above limit

The charger has two temperature sensors that monitor 

the temperature in the clamps during any process. If the 

temperature goes above a certain limit there will be a 

warning. The process needs to be stopped to prevent any 

unsafe condition.
