TROUBLESHOOTING

POSSIBLE CAUSE
The charger may be
defective.
This will happen if the
battery did not reach full
charge within 24 hours.
May be due to a very large battery clip. Select the
battery or a bank of
batteries requiring more
than what a 15 Amp
charger can deliver within
24 hours. The battery may
also be bad.
Starter motor may be
drawing more than 100
Amps.
The battery may be fully
charged or recently
charged leaving the
battery voltage high
enough to make the
charger think the battery
is fully charged.
1-800-SEARS-64 (1-800-732-7764).
Return to place of
purchase for a
replacement.
Reset the charger by
unplugging it or briefly
disconnecting the negative
desired charge rate and
battery type again, if
necessary.
Charge the battery at the
15 Amp rate for 10 to 15
minutes then crank the
engine.
If the battery is in a vehicle
turn the headlights on for a
few minutes to reduce the
battery voltage and try
charging again.
