7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your charger, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Charger LED does not light up. | No power from outlet; loose connection; charger malfunction. | Check wall outlet with another device. Ensure AC cord is securely plugged into both the charger and the wall. Verify the 3-Pin XLR connector is firmly seated in the battery port. |
| LED remains green when connected to battery. | Battery is already fully charged; incorrect battery voltage/type; faulty battery. | Confirm the battery requires charging. Ensure the battery is a 36V Lithium-ion type. Test with a different compatible battery if available. |
| Charger gets excessively hot. | Poor ventilation; internal fault. | Ensure the charger is in a well-ventilated area and not covered. Discontinue use immediately if overheating persists and contact support. |
| Battery does not charge. | Loose connections; incompatible battery; faulty charger or battery. | Recheck all connections. Confirm battery compatibility (36V Lithium, 3-Pin XLR). If possible, test the charger with another compatible battery or the battery with another compatible charger to isolate the issue. |
