PROBLEM
Battery clips
do not spark
when touched
together.

audible clicking
sound.
POSSiBLE CAUSE
The charger is
equipped with an
auto-start feature. It will
not supply current to
the battery clips until
a battery is properly

the clips will not spark if
touched together.
Circuit breaker is
cycling.
Battery is defective.
Shorted battery cables
or clips.

battery, but otherwise it
is a good battery.

REASON/SOLUTiON
No problem; this is a
normal condition.
The settings may be
wrong. Check the
charger settings.
Have the battery
checked.
Circuit breaker cycles
when current draw is too
high. Check for shorted
cables or clips and
replace if necessary.
The battery may not
want to accept a charge
due to a run-down
state. Allow charging to
continue until battery
has a chance to recover
sufficiently to take a
charge. If more than 20
minutes, stop charging
and have the battery
checked.
