Troubleshooting - Model 24041-AA
We use the word “Indicator” to mean the
various LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) showing
the various faults, modes, and conditions of
the battery and / or charger.
The words “unit”, “charger” or “recharger”
means your model 24041-AA BatteryMINDer
Problem:
Power ON indicator does not light
Solution:
Check electrical outlet. If controlled by a wall
switch be sure switch is on and try to prevent
accidental shutting it off while charger is working.
Problem:
ERROR indicator lights RED
(several possibilities can be the cause)
Solution:
1. Output leads - connections to battery may be
reversed. Switch (reverse) connections at battery
2. If still remains RED check battery voltage. If -
Volts or less battery may be damaged and should
not be recharged. If battery was just recently
removed from a load (lights, electronic equipment)
or not used for extended time without a charger-
maintainer, allow battery to “recover” by letting it
“rest” without a load. If battery is healthy and just
deeply discharged it should recover its voltage
(rise above 6 volts) sufficiently to allow charger to
begin an attempt to fully recharge it. If after bat-
tery has “rested” (see pg. 9) it may not be able to
be recovered – recharged. It should be safely dis-
carded – recycled.
Problem:
ERROR Indicator lights RED and is blinking ,
Solution:
1. Battery may be weak or very heavily sulphated.
Allow battery to remain in Maintenance-Float
mode for 72 hours or more and then attempt to
recharge again. 2. Battery may be so large it may
require a second full recharge. Repeat recharge by
pressing and holding START/RESET/STOP for 5
sec. until ALL LEDs light. Reset charge rate and
battery type, if needed. Press START button to
begin full recharge.
