12. MAINTENANCE AND CARE

A minimal amount of care can keep your 

battery charger working properly for years.

• 

Clean the clamps each time you are 

finished charging. Wipe off any battery fluid 

that may have come in contact with the 

clamps to prevent corrosion.

• 

Occasionally cleaning the case of the 

charger with a soft cloth will keep the finish 

shiny and help prevent corrosion.

• 

Coil the input and output cords neatly when 

storing the charger. This will help prevent 

accidental damage to the cords and charger.

• 

Store the charger unplugged from the AC 

power outlet, in an upright position.  

• 

Store inside, in a cool, dry place. Do not 

store the clamps clipped together, clipped to 

the handle, on or around metal, or clipped 

to the cables.

Error Codes

ERROR  

CODE

DESCRIPTION

REASON/SOLUTION

F01

The battery voltage is still 

under 10V (for a 12V battery) 

or 5V (for a 6V battery) after 2 

hours of charging.

The battery could be bad. Have it checked or 

replaced.

F02

The charger cannot desulfate 

the battery.

The battery could not be desulfated; have it 

checked or replaced.

F03

The battery was unable to 

reach the “full charge” voltage.

May be caused by trying to charge a large battery 

or bank of batteries on too low of a current setting. 

Try again with a higher current setting or have the 

battery checked or replaced.

F04

The connections to the battery 

are reversed.

The battery is connected backwards. Unplug the 

charger and reverse the connections to the battery.

F05

The charger was unable to 

keep the battery fully charged 

in maintain mode.

The battery won’t hold a charge. May be caused 

by a drain on the battery or the battery could be 

bad. Make sure there are no loads on the battery. 

If there are remove them. If there are none, have 

the battery checked or replaced.

F06

The charger detected that the 

battery may be getting too hot 

(thermal runaway). 

The charger automatically shuts the current off if 

it detects the battery may be getting too hot. Have 

the battery checked or replaced. 

If you get an error code, check the connections and settings and/or replace the battery.
