17.  TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

SOLUTION

Battery connectors do not spark 

when touched together.

The charger is equipped with an 

auto-start feature. It will not supply 

current to the battery connectors 

until a battery is properly 

connected. The connectors will not 

spark if touched together.

No problem; this is a normal 

condition.

The charger will not turn on when 

properly connected.

AC outlet is dead.

Poor electrical connection.

Check for open fuse or circuit 

breaker supplying AC outlet.

Check power cord and extension 

cord for loose fitting plug.

I cannot select a language on the 

display.

Press the button for 5 seconds  

to select a language:  

(EN→ DE→ FR).

No problem; this is normal.

Green LED is lit and the display 

shows 

ANALYZING 12V 

BATTERY

 or 

ANALYZING 24V 

BATTERY

The charger needs to check the 

condition of the battery.

The green LED will be lit when 

the charger is checking the 

condition of the battery. This is 

normal.

Green LED is flashing and 

the display shows 

CHARGE 

ABORTED-BAD BATTERY

The battery is too large for the 

charger.

The battery voltage is still below 

20V after 2 hours of charging  

(24V charge mode), or below 

10V after two hours of charging  

(12V charge mode).

You need a charger with a higher 

amp rate.

Have the battery checked.

The display shows one of these 

messages:

12V-CONNECT CLAMPS-

PRESS FOR 24V-DOUBLE FOR 

RECONDITION 

12V-RECONDITION CHARGE-

24V-CONNECT CLAMPS- 

PRESS FOR 12V-DOUBLE FOR 

RECONDITION

24V-RECONDITION CHARGE-

The clamps are not making a 

good connection.

Check for poor connection at 

battery and frame.
