CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
C.
Charge Status Indicator
A blinking LED indicates the battery is charging. A solid LED indicates charging is complete and
battery charger has entered the Maintain stage. (See "UNDERSTANDING the MULTI-STAGE
CHARGING PROCESS" section.)
Amber (solid)—No battery detected. Check to ensure that clamp connections to the battery posts are
clean and solid. If connections are good, the battery is severely discharged (<1.5 V) and may be unsafe to
charge. The battery should be tested or replaced. (NOTE: “888” will also appear on the digital display)
Red (blinking)—A fault has been triggered and charging has been aborted. Check the digital display for a
Fault Code and see “Troubleshooting/Fault Codes” for possible causes and solutions.
Red (solid)—Reverse polarity has been detected. Reverse clamp connections.
B.
Fault/Error Indicator
This LED will light up if the charger detects a problem and can not proceed with charging.
