BEFORE RETURNING FOR REPAIR
Check battery fuse.
When a charging problem arises, make certain the battery is capable of accepting a normal charge – use
a good battery to double check charger. Check all connections, the AC outlet for voltage, charger clips
for correct polarity, and the quality of connections from cable to clips and clips to battery system.
CLIPS MUST BE CLEAN.
When a battery is very cold, partially charged or sulphated, it will not draw full rated current from the
charger. This is a safety factor. It can be both dangerous and damaging to a battery to force a higher
amperage into it than it can effectively use in recharging.
When the charger requires repair take it to a qualified serviceman. If the unit is still under warranty
then take unit and purchase receipt together with warranty slip to your retailer.
Any automatic charger requires a minimum voltage to be present on the battery before the charger will
start charging and for a 12V battery it is 10V.
