battery pack is discharged to near 0V, L.E.D. will illuminate to indicate
the charger cannot “See” a battery connected. Check for a blown fuse
in the charger harness or a bad connection.

Occurs when charging took too long. Possi-
ble causes include: use of a battery load that
is draining energy from the battery while the
charger is trying to charge that same battery,
aged or unbalanced battery conditions, etc.

Excessive Overload

Flash

Flash

Off

In the unlikely event that a heavy load is
placed across the battery pack while the
charger is trying to charge the battery, and
the charger cannot keep up with supplying
energy to both the battery and the load, then
the battery voltage will decrease. Further
charging is terminated.

This error is only generated by a condition
found during the Pre-Qualification Test
Stage. If a severely discharged battery pack
did not charge up to 42v within 5 hrs, this
error occurs.
