- Store the charger in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Ensure the cooling fan is not obstructed to maintain proper heat dissipation.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Charger not turning on / No LED light | No AC power; Loose connection; Faulty outlet. | Check AC power cord connection. Try a different outlet. Ensure battery connections are secure. |
| Red LED not lighting up when connected to battery | Battery already fully charged (Green LED should be on); Incorrect polarity; Battery fault. | Verify battery voltage. Check polarity of alligator clips. If Green LED is on, battery is full. If neither, battery may be faulty. |
| Charger gets hot during operation | Normal operation; Obstructed cooling fan; Overload. | Some heat is normal. Ensure cooling fan is not blocked. If excessively hot or smells, disconnect immediately and contact support. |
| Battery not charging or charging slowly | Battery capacity too large for charger; Battery fault; Poor connection. | Ensure charger is appropriate for battery capacity. Check all connections. Battery may be damaged. |
