the charger and plug it in again.
The Digital Display
always flashes before
the battery is completely
charged.
The incorrect battery type may
have been selected. This will
happen if the battery did not reach
full charge within 24 hours. May
be due to a very large battery
or a bank of batteries requiring
more power than the charger
can deliver within 24 hours. The
battery may also be faulty.
Reset the charger by briefly
unplugging it or briefly
disconnecting the negative
battery clamp. Select the
desired rate (SMALL or LARGE
BATTERY) and BATTERY
TYPE again, if necessary.
