REASON/SOLUTION
Plug the charger into an A.C.
outlet.
Check for open fuse or
circuit breaker supplying
A.C. outlet.
Check for poor connection
to battery and frame. Make
sure connection points
are clean. Rock the clips
back and forth for a better
connection.
Unplug the charger and
reverse the clips.
Have battery checked.
Ammeter may show no
activity at the 2A charge rate.
Continue charging battery for
two more hours. If problem
continues have the battery
checked.
Verify that the voltage
settings or output ratings on
the charger are correct.
Use a shorter or heavier
gauge extension cord.
A sulfated battery will
eventually take a normal
charge if left connected. If
the battery will not take a
charge, have it checked.
Continue to charge the
battery.
