15. TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
The battery is connected and
the charger is on, but is not
charging.
The charger is not in charger
mode.
Press START/STOP button
for the battery that is
connected to the charger.
The indicator lights are lit
in an erratic manner, not
explained in the Operating
Instructions section.
A button may have been
pressed when the charger
was plugged in.
Make sure nothing is
touching the control panel,
then unplug the unit and plug
it in again.
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.
“Bad Bat” in display; BAD
BATTERY LED lit.
The charger is in abort mode.
The battery may be bad.
This will happen if the battery
did not reach full charge
within 24 hours. May be due
to a very large battery or
bank of batteries requiring
more power than the charger
can deliver in 24 hours. The
charger is in abort mode. The
battery may also be faulty.
See Aborted Charge in the
Operating Instructions section.
Reset the charger by
unplugging it.
The charger is making an
audible clicking sound.
The charger has a relay that
turns the current on and off to
the battery.
No problem, this is a normal
condition.
The measured current is
much lower than what was
selected.
The charger reached the
maximum voltage and is
reducing the current.
The charger detected an
over-temperature condition
and has reduced the current
to allow the unit to cool.
No problem, this is a normal
condition.
Make sure the charger does
not have the side or rear
ventilation holes blocked.
Move the charger out of the
sun and into the shade.
The charger was unplugged
from the wall but the display
is still on.
The battery is supplying the
power to the display.
Disconnect the battery.
While charging the battery,
the battery stays at a certain
% (ex. <65%).
The % display may not
change at a steady rate.
DO NOT UNPLUG OR
CHANGE SETTING. Be
patient and let the charger
finish. This is normal.
When the charger is
unplugged or the settings
are changed, the number
increases or jumps to 100%.
The battery voltage is still
high from a partial charge.
Wait for the voltage to settle
before resuming the charge.
Try to charge at a lower
charge rate. Turn on the lights
to remove the surface charge.
