Troubleshooting and error codes
| Fault Codes | Condition | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|---|
| 888 | The charger does not detect a battery connected to it. | Charger does not recognize the battery. Poor clamp connection. Battery voltage is under 1.5 V (battery must have a MINIMUM of 1.5 V to activate charger). |
Connect battery to charger BEFORE connecting charger to AC power. Ensure battery posts are clean. Rock clamps back and forth on battery posts to ensure a good connection. Check battery voltage with a volt meter. If LESS than 1.5 V replace battery. (A battery with less than 1.5 V is likely beyond salvage due to extreme sulphation or some other internal failure.) You may try to boost the battery using booster cables connected to another vehicle. This may raise the battery voltage above 1.5 V allowing the battery charger to activate. |
| F01 | The battery voltage is less than 10 V after 10 minutes of charging. | The battery is defective. A load may be connected to the battery. |
Replace the battery. DO NOT use the battery during charging. |
| F02 | Battery voltage is too high. | Battery rated above 12 V. | Confirm that the battery is rated 12 V or below. |
| F03 | Actual charge rate exceeds selected charging rate. | A load may be connected to the battery. Charging error or defective charger. |
Disconnect the load and attempt to charge again. Disconnect the battery and the AC power, attempt to charge again. |
| F04 | The temperature of the charger is too high. | High ambient temperature or poor ventilation. | Ensure adequate ventilation. The charger will resume charging after cooling. |
| F05 | The battery does not go into Maintenance mode after being charged for 24 hours. | The charge current is too low. There is a load placed on the battery while charging. Battery is defective and will not accept a charge. |
Select a higher charge rate. DO NOT use the battery during charging. Replace battery. |
| F06 | Reverse polarity. | The battery clamps are incorrectly connected. | Disconnect clamps and ensure proper connection. |
