battery is capable of accepting a
normal charge. Double check all
connections, the AC outlet for a full

correct polarity and the quality of
the connections from the cables to
the clamps and from the clamps
to the battery system. The clamps
must be clean.

the maintain mode.
The battery won't hold a charge.

remove them. If there are none,
have the battery checked or
replaced.
The charger automatically shuts
