the charger settings.
• Battery is defective.
• Have the battery checked.
• Shorted battery cables or clips
• Circuit breaker cycles when current
draw is too high. Check for shorted
cables or clips and replace if
necessary.
• Severely discharged battery, but
otherwise it is a good battery.
• The battery may not want to accept
a charge due to a run-down state.
Allow charging to continue until
battery has a chance to recover

than 20 minutes, stop charging and
have the battery checked.

The charger reached the maximum
voltage and is reducing the current.
No problem; this is a normal condition.
