PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
REASON/SOLUTION
The charger is making an
audible clicking sound.
Circuit breaker is cycling.
Battery is defective.
Shorted battery cables
or clips.
Severely discharged
battery, but otherwise it is
a good battery.
Reverse connections at
battery.
The settings may be
wrong. Check the charger
settings.
Have the battery checked.
Circuit breaker cycles
when current draw is too
high. Check for shorted
cables or clips and replace
if necessary.
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 sufficiently to take
a charge. If more than 20
minutes, stop charging
and have the battery
checked.
Shut the charger off
and correct the lead
connections.
The battery is connected
and the charger is on,
but is not charging.
Clips are not making a
good connection.
Check for poor connection
at battery and frame.
Make sure connecting
points are clean. Rock
clips back and forth for a
better connection.
BEFORE RETURNING FOR REPAIRS
17.
When a charging problem arises, make certain that the battery is capable
17.1
of accepting a normal charge. Use a good battery to double check all
connections, the AC outlet for a full 120-volts, the charger clips for correct
polarity and the quality of the connections from the cables to the clips and
from the clips to the battery system. The clips must be clean.
When a battery is very cold, partially charged or sulfated, it will not draw
17.2
the full rated amperes from the charger. It is both dangerous and damaging
to a battery to force higher amperage into it than it can effectively use in
recharging.
