Solution
Allow battery to cool. Improve ventilation or
install in cooler location. It may indicate a shorted
cell in the battery or excessive water loss.
Solution
Allow batteries to warm up before attempting to
charge again. Charging a battery that has frozen is
a potential explosion hazard.
Solution
Check the battery.
Verify you are attempting to charge a battery correctly
rated at 12 volts nominal (BC3012, BC5012) or 24
volts nominal (BC1524, BC2524). Re-check the
battery voltage with all loads removed and the battery
is at rest for about an hour.
