PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
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.
All 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.
Connections are reversed.
Battery is defective.
Check for open fuse or circuit
breaker supplying AC outlet.
Check power cord and extension
cord for loose fitting plug.
Unplug the charger and reverse
the clamps. (The charger will
not detect reversed connections
when the battery voltage is less
than 2V.)
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.
