The charger is in abort
mode. The battery may be
bad.
This will happen if the
battery did not reach full
charge within 24 hours.
May be due to a very large
battery or bank of batteries
requiring more power than
the charger can deliver in
24 hours. The charger is
in abort mode. The battery
may also be faulty.
See the “USING
YOUR BATTERY
CHARGER” section.
Reset the charger by
unplugging it. Select
the desired battery
type again, if neces-
sary.
The charger is making an
audible clicking sound.
The charger has a relay that
turns the current on and off
to the battery.
No problem, this is a
normal condition.
The measured current is
much lower than what was
selected.
The charger reached the
maximum voltage and is
reducing the current.
The charger detected an
over-temperature condition
and has reduced the current
to allow the unit to cool.
No problem, this is a
normal condition.
Make sure the char-
ger does not have the
side ventilation holes
blocked. Move the
charger out of the sun
and into the shade.
The charger was unplugged
from the wall but the display
is still on.
The battery is supplying the
power to the display.
Disconnect the bat-
tery.
While charging the battery,
the battery stays at a cer-
tain % (ex. <65%).
The % display may not
change at a steady rate.
DO NOT UNPLUG
OR CHANGE SET-
TING. Be patient and
let the charger nish.
This is normal.
When the charger is
unplugged or the settings
are changed, the number
increases or jumps to 100%.
The battery voltage is still
high from a partial charge.
Wait for the voltage to
settle before resum-
ing the charge. Try
to charge at a lower
charge rate. Turn on
the lights to remove
the surface charge.
