When No Lights Come On When The Battery
Charger Is Plugged Into An Electrical Outlet.
• Weak AC Connection.
Check if the AC outlet has power. If the AC outlet has no or limited
power, it could cause this condition. Plug a light into the AC outlet to
check if the outlet has power. If the light is extremely dim, this could
be the result of limited AC power. The battery charger is designed
for use at 70-130VAC. If there is no power or the power is below
70VAC, locate another AC outlet that has sufficient power to resolve
this ERROR condition.
Troubleshooting Tips.
Testing To See If Charger Is Charging.
Before applying AC power to the charger, measure the battery
voltage with a digital voltmeter and write the value down. Plug
the battery charger into an electrical outlet. Wait at least thirty (30)
seconds and measure the battery voltage again with the digital
voltmeter. The battery voltage should be higher than the previous
value and slowly moving up.
Abnormality Protection.
If the battery charger is in the Bulk mode for more than 80 hours,
the battery charger will go into an ERROR condition. This feature
prevents damage if the battery is faulty.
Low Battery.
If you have a severely discharged battery, a battery that is below
9.0VDC, it could be the result of a defective battery. Batteries that
have been severely discharged as a result of an accidental load
should respond quickly when current is applied to the battery,
resulting in a sharp increase in battery voltage.
