4. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDELINE

Please see the table below if you experience any problems with the Elogic DC battery charger 
and/or the installation.

Problem

Possible cause

Remedy

Elogic DC is not working  
at all.

No input voltage.

Check wiring and input fuse.

Input voltage is too low.

Check input voltage, adjust 
the input voltage settings, 
start engine.

No positive signal on main 
On/Off control wire.

Check wiring, fuses and 
status of engine run signal.

Positive signal on BMS input.

Check output battery  
BMS status.

Very poor input battery 
condition.

Replace battery.

The battery is not being 
charged up to it’s maximum 
capacity.

Incorrect absorption charge 
voltage setting.

Check the battery type 
selection for correct setting. 
Or adjust the absorption 
voltage.

Incorrect charge current 
setting.

Make sure that the maximum 
output current setting is 
at maximum level (check 
if allowed by battery 
manufacturer).

Too much voltage loss 
in battery cables and/or 
connections.

Make sure that the battery 
cables have a large enough 
diameter. Check if all DC 
connections are solidly made.

Additional battery loads are 
consuming too much current 
during charging.

Turn-off or disconnect all 
battery loads.

Charge current is too low.

High ambient temperature.

Try to lower the ambient 
temperature around the 
charger.

Charger is operating in the 
absorption charging stage.

Do nothing. The battery is 
almost fully charged and 
consumes less current by 
itself.
