40 amp light blinks on Truecharge 40+. Other indicator lights are off
(only when temperature sensor is installed).
Symptom Truecharge + appears to be taking too long to charge battery.

Possible Cause Solution
1. Battery voltage is too
high (above 15.5 volts).
2. Battery is connected to
another charging source
with voltage above
15.5 VDC.
1. Check battery. Do not charge a
battery rated at more than 12 volts
nominal.
2. Disconnect or turn off other
charging sources such as the
alternator or the charger on a
generator with electric start.
Possible Cause Solution
Battery temperature is too high
for safe charging.
Allow battery to cool. Improve
ventilation or install in cooler
location. It may indicate a shorted
cell in the battery or excessive
water loss.
Possible Cause Solution
1. Battery capacity is too high
for Truecharge+ model.
2. Load connected to battery is
draining charge current so
that battery does not
recharge.
3. Battery has a damaged cell.
1. Use a higher capacity
charger.
2. Disconnect load or switch
load off.
3. Replace battery.
