Q: I have noticed that the 3-flash GFIC warning is indicated by the
chargeX every once in a while, even though my garage outlet is protected
and does not trip.
A: The GFIC fault detection of chargeX is quite sensitive and quick
acting. It will detect a short voltage drop, a brownout or a voltage spike
well before typical mechanical wall outlet. Sometimes an inductive load of
a garage door opener can also cause it. Try using a different outlet or
check the polarity of the wall plug.
Q: I use an extension cord from the wall outlet to plug the chargeX.
Sometimes it shows a fast charge and sometimes it shows full charge.
What’s the problem?
A: If the extension cord is not polarized, the ground reference for the
chargeX can be wrong depending on how the cord is plugged in. Always
use a polarized extension cord.
Q: My temperature display has all of a sudden changed to 5° lower.
A: This is most typically due to water collecting at the RJ11 connector of
the Temp Sensor. If you see water or corrosion there, you can clean it
with alcohol on a Q-tip. Also check the AMP readings, if they are also
lower then the RJ11 connector at the Shunt may need cleaning too.
Q: The AMP display while cruising stays mostly around 0 to 3 Amps, even
at higher RPMs it does not change much. Is this normal?
A: Since the Current Sensor is monitoring the current flow at the battery
only the energy input to the battery is shown. The amount needed to
replenish what was used to crank the engine usually takes a few seconds.
Thereafter the battery won’t accept any more charge, so nominal values
of Amp are what you see for a fully charged battery.
