• CORROSION ON BATTERY TERMINALS
Check the battery connections for battery corrosion. If battery corrosion is
present on the battery connections, it could cause this ERROR condition.
Remove the battery corrosion to resolve this ERROR condition.
• LOOSE BATTERY CONNECTIONS
Check the battery connections to the battery. If the battery connections are
loose, it could cause this ERROR condition. Tighten the battery connections
to resolve this ERROR condition.
CHARGE LEDs IMMEDIATELY ILLUMINATED TO 100%
If the battery charger CHARGE LEDs immediately illuminate to 100% when
the AC power is applied to the battery charger, the battery is either already
fully charged or the battery is in extremely poor condition as a result of
sulfation or damage. If the battery is new, the battery is likely already fully
charged. If the battery is relatively old and had not been used for a long
period of time, the battery is probably so severely damaged that the battery
cannot accept any current.
BATTERY CHARGER MAKING A CLICKING SOUND
If the battery charger is making a "clicking" sound and will not go into a
charge mode, it is probably the result of a battery in extremely poor condition
as a result of sulfation or damage. The "clicking" noise you hear does not
signify a battery charger failure. The "clicking" noise is the battery charger
attempting to enter into a charge mode, but when current is applied to the
battery, the battery voltage rises too quickly, and the battery charger shuts
off. Once the current is removed from the battery, the battery voltage rapidly
decreases, and the battery charger again tries to enter into a charge mode.
The "clicking" sound and this ERROR loop condition will continue until the
poor battery is removed.
LOW VOLTAGE BATTERY
If the battery voltage is below 2.0VDC (6V) or 7.0VDC (12V), the ERROR
LED (Orange) and the CHARGE LEDs (25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) will
blink, indicating the battery is out of range for the battery charger. In this
situation, the battery charger has determined that the battery voltage is too
low to begin a normal charge mode. In order to increase the battery voltage
to allow the battery charger to begin charging, follow these steps:

• FOR 6V BATTERIES
If you are trying to charge a 6V battery that is below 2.0VDC, you will need to
jump start the battery or connect the battery to a power supply to increase the
battery voltage above 2.0VDC to begin the charge cycle.
• FOR 12V BATTERIES
If you are trying to charge a 12V battery that is below 7.0VDC, switch the
battery charger into 6V mode to begin charging a low voltage 12V battery.
Choose either 6V NORM mode for Wet Cell, MF, or Gel Cell batteries or 6V
COLD/AGM mode for AGM batteries. When the 100% CHARGE LED turns
to a solid (not blinking) Green, the battery voltage will be above 7.0VDC and
you can return the battery charger back to the appropriate 12V charge mode,
depending on the chemistry of your battery, to begin the charge cycle.
TESTING TO SEE IF CHARGER IS CHARGING
Before applying AC power to the charger, measure the battery with a digital volt
meter and write the value down. Then plug the charger in making sure that
within 5 seconds the charger is indicating that the charging process has begun
(See WICKED SMART FEATURE: INITIALIZATION). Wait 30 seconds and
measure the battery again with the digital volt meter. The battery voltage should
be higher and slowly moving up.
WICKED SMART FEATURE
ERROR CONDITION. An ERROR condition could happen for multiple
reasons. If an ERROR condition occurs, the ERROR LED and
CHARGE LEDs (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) will blink "on" and "off" at
5Hz. For assistance in resolving ERROR's, see the section entitled,
TROUBLE SHOOTING.

WICKED SMART TIP
If you have a severely discharged battery, a battery that is below 4.5VDC
(6V) or 9.0VDC (12V), it could be the result of a defective battery.
Batteries that have been severely discharged as a result of an accidental
load should respond quickly when current is applied to the battery,
resulting in a sharp increase in battery voltage.
