Possible Causes
Battery temperature exceeded preset limit
Faulty thermistor
Faulty
PowerTrac™
Troubleshooting
a. The charge cycle remains stopped until the battery has cooled down by
6˚C (10.8˚F). The charger automatically restarts the cycle.
b. If the over temperature fault occurs again, the charge cycle remains
stopped until the batt
ery has cooled down by 7˚C (12.6˚F), and then
automatically restarts the cycle.
c. The charger repeats this sequence for up to three additional attempts to
restart and complete the cycle, allowing the battery to cool down by 8˚C
(14.4˚F), 9˚C (16.2˚F), and 10˚C (18.0˚F) for subsequent attempts.
d. If the charger is unable to restart and complete the charge cycle
successfully, select
STOP
to revert to the
IDLE MODE
screen.
e. Attempt to measure the battery case temperature. If the battery case
temperature is NOT elevated, verify that the battery cables are properly
connected, paying special attention to the thermistor connections.
f. Restart the charge cycle by selecting
START
.
g. If an elevated battery temperature is detected, do not restart the charge
cycle, or if the fault persists, contact the dealer or Power Designers USA
LLC.
