The charger resets LiFe mode after
every charge
The charger is unresponsive to
any input
Possible Cause
Main charge leads disconnected
Reverse polarity
Balance plug not connected properly
when attempting to balance charge
LiPo/Fe battery
Balance plug connected when trying
to charge NiXX battery
The connected battery has a voltage
that is outside the safe limits to
charge in the selected mode or at
the selected current
A LiPo battery has too much charge
when attempting to perform a Stor-
age Charge
The charger is detecting a LiPo
battery when trying to charge in
LiFe mode
The battery is damaged or worn out
There is a connection problem
The power supply voltage is too
low or the AC input power is below
operable limits
The power supply voltage is too
high or the AC input power is above
operable limits
The charger has over-heated and
reduced the charge current to a
minimum. Your battery will continue
to charge but at a very slow rate
until the internal temperature of
the charger is back down into
operational limits. It will then resume
charging at the previous settings
This is a built in safety feature
and is executed after pressing the
Back/Cancel button during or after
a charge
The input power is unstable
Simple • Capable •
Possible Solution
Check for stable input power with proper voltage
Check battery connection and ensure red wires are connected to
red wires and black wires are connected to black wires
Check balance plug is properly connected
Ensure the correct charge mode is being used for your battery type
Check balance plug is not connected
Ensure the correct charge mode is being used for your battery type
Use the battery as normal to reduce the battery voltage to safe
limits for charging
Use the battery to reduce the voltage and try again
Confirm the battery type you are attempting to charge is indeed a
LiFe (A123)
Check battery connections and confirm battery type and charge
mode
Check input and output connections
Check input power source. Find another known good source to test
and compare
Check input power source. Find another known good source to test
and compare
Stop charging, unplug your charger from all connections and blow
compressed air through the side vents to remove dust. See the
"General Care and Maintenance" section of this manual
Remove the charger from direct sun light or area of high ambient
temperature and allow to cool
Direct a cooling fan into the charger through the left side vent
(where existing fan is located)
Use the Up/Down scroll buttons to select the desired charge mode
Check input power connections and appropriate voltages are
present
Safe
