Problem Solving
975-0187-01-01 4–9
Symptom
The XC Series appears to be taking too long to charge battery. Ready indicator light
does not illuminate after 24 hours of charging.
Symptom
The XC Series will not transition to equalization mode.
Possible Cause Solution
Battery capacity is too high for the
XC Series model.
Load connected to battery is
draining charge current so that
battery does not recharge.
Battery has a damaged cell.
Use a higher capacity charger.
Disconnect load or switch load off.
Replace battery.
Possible Cause Solution
Battery is the wrong type, or set to
the wrong type to equalize.
Not all batteries are fully charged.
An active fault is present on the
bank you are attempting to equalize.
Verify battery type is set to Gel or AGM. These
battery types cannot be equalized.
Wait for all batteries to be in float (
flo) of 3-stage
charging or rest (
rdy) of 2-stage charging before
attempting to equalize (the ready indicator light will
illuminate).
Clear the active fault (see Table 4-2 on page 4–4)
