M.  Trouble Shooting 

 

PROBLEM 

INDICATIONS 

POSSIBLE CAUSES 

SUGGESTED SOLUTION 

Charger does not 
work   

Indicator lights not 
turn on   

No AC power 
 
AC input socket fuse blown   

Check AC connections are correct   
 
Replace with correct AC fuse by qualified 
electrician 

No DC output   

Charger - On LED is 
not on, Float and 
Fault LEDs are on 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Output short circuit   
 
 
 
Over temperature protection triggered   
 
 
 
Severe over loading charger 
 
 
Reverse polarity connection 
 
 
DC fan locked by foreign object or 
malfunction 

Check DC connections between charger 
and battery. Charger can auto reset if 
remove the fault within 20 seconds. 
 
Check air intake vent at bottom of charger 
is blocked or not. Check charger ambient 
ventilation. 
 
Check battery AH capacity within 
recommended range 
 
Check for correct polarity, replace car 
blade fuse (6) 
 
Check DC fan 

Battery does not get 
full charge 

All indicator LED 
work normally and 
sequentially   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
OTP LED flashing 

Bad battery connection   
 
 
Battery type select switch in wrong setting 
 
 
Battery capacity too large 
 
 
Ambient temperature too low   
 
 
 
Battery has damaged cell or battery is too 
old   
 
Wrong set the lower power level 

Check for loose contact, right cable size, 
cable integrity 
 
Recheck battery type and change to correct 
battery selection 
 
Make sure charger rating matches battery 
capacity 
 
Move battery to a room temperature 
location, or get an optional temperature 
sensor   
 
Replace battery 
 
 
Recheck the current selection switch (5) to 
correct right setting 

Long charging time, 
float light does not 
come on even after 
12 hours charging 
time. 

Absorption light 
remains on all the 
time   

Charger internal fault   

Return the charger to distributor to repair   

Bulk LED is on all 
the time   

Bulk light remains 
on all the time   

Wrong battery type selection 
 
 
Battery is excessively depleted and the 
soft charging is triggered     
 
 
 
Battery temperature too high 

Check charged battery label and change 
battery type selection to correct setting 
 
Recharge the battery after a day, if bulk 
light remains after several hours, the 
battery is most likely damaged and cannot 
accept charge. Replace battery. 
 
Use accessory temperature sensor
