PROBLEM
The battery is connected
and the charger is on,
but isn't charging.
Indicator lights are lit in
an erratic manner not
explained in the "Operat-
ing Instructions" section.
The CHECK (red) LED
always flashes before
the battery is completely
charged.
Engine crank time is less
than specified.
The green CHARGED
LED lights a few minutes
after connecting to the
battery.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
The charger is in tester
mode, not charger
mode.
You might have acciden-
tally activated a special
diagnostic mode.
The charger may be
defective.
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 a 30/12
Amp charger can deliver
within 24 hours. The bat-
tery may also be faulty.
Starter motor may be
drawing more than 80
Amps.
The battery may be
fully charged or recently
charged, leaving the bat-
tery voltage high enough
to appear to be fully
charged.
The incorrect BATTERY
TYPE may have been
selected.
