Try charging another battery, if the FAULT LED does not light, then one of the above
problems exists with the initial battery. Charger will not charge and the fan will not
operate if there is a fault. Call Vector Technical Support toll free: (866) 584-5504.
SULFATED BATTERY
Batteries left in a discharged state for a long period of time are likely to become "sul-
fated". Sulfated batteries cannot accept a high rate of charge since the internal plates
are coated with lead sulfate. To see if a battery in this condition can be "saved", take
it to a service station or battery distributor for professional evaluation and service.
INTERNAL SHORT CELL BATTERY
•
If the battery being charged has an internal shorted cell, the FAULT LED will light.
•
If FAULT LED light comes on, we recommend that you take your battery to a cer-
tified automotive service center for evaluation.
BATTERY NOT ACCEPTING A CHARGE
•
Make sure that the charger is plugged into a "live" 110/120VAC outlet and
POWER LED is lit.
•
Unplug charger and check battery connections - ensure there is a good connec-
tion with battery terminal and/or vehicle chassis.
•
Have the battery checked for sulfated condition (qualified service station or bat-
tery distributor).
•
Check that the correct charge rate has been selected for the battery being
charged.
•
Ensure that enough charging time has been allowed for-check table for approx-
imate charging times.
VERY COLD BATTERY
If the battery to be charged is extremely cold (in temperatures less than freezing - 0º
C/32º F) it cannot accept a high rate of charge, so the initial charge rate will be slow.
The rate of charge will increase as the battery warms.
