7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No LEDs illuminate when plugged in. | No AC power; faulty power cord; charger malfunction. | Check wall outlet and power cord connection. Try a different outlet. Inspect power cord for damage. If problem persists, contact support. |
| LED1 (Red) is on, but LED2 (Red) does not illuminate when connected to battery. | Battery not connected properly; battery fully charged; incompatible battery; faulty battery. | Ensure XT60 connector is securely attached. Check if the battery is already fully charged (LED2 might be Green). Verify battery compatibility. Test with another known good battery if possible. |
| Charger gets excessively hot. | Poor ventilation; overloaded charger. | Ensure charger is in a well-ventilated area. Clear any obstructions from cooling vents. If overheating persists, discontinue use and contact support. |
| Charging takes too long or never completes. | Battery issue; charger issue. | Check battery health. Ensure the battery capacity is within the charger's capabilities. If the issue persists, the battery or charger may be faulty. |
