REASON/SOLUTION
Check for a poor connection
to the battery and frame.
Make sure the connection
points are clean. Rock the
clips back and forth for a
better connection.
Shut the charger off and
correct the lead connec-
tions.
Reset the charger by dis-
connecting the battery.
Have the battery checked.
If the battery is in a vehicle,
turn the headlights on for
a few minutes to reduce
the battery voltage and try
charging again.
A sulfated battery will
eventually accept a charge.
Continue charging for a few
hours. If the charger can-
not complete charging the
battery, it will go into Abort
Mode.
No problem, this is a normal
condition.
