The measured current is
much lower than what was
selected.

pressed when the charger
was plugged in.
The charger is in abort
mode. The battery may be
bad.
This will happen if the
battery did not reach full
charge within 24 hours.
May be due to a very large
battery or bank of batteries
requiring more power than
the charger can deliver in
24 hours. The charger is
in abort mode. The battery
may also be faulty.
The charger has a relay that
turns the current on and off
to the battery.
The charger reached the
maximum voltage and is
reducing the current.
The charger detected an
over-temperature condition
and has reduced the current
to allow the unit to cool.
The battery is supplying the
power to the display.
The % display may not
change at a steady rate.
The battery voltage is still
high from a partial charge.
