How to fix Blue point EEBC100A Automobile Battery Charger that will not turn on?
If the charger doesn't turn on when properly connected, check the AC outlet for an open fuse or circuit breaker. Inspect the power and extension cords for loose connections. Also, have the battery checked for defects. The issue might stem from a dead AC outlet, a poor electrical connection, or a defective battery.
What to do if Blue point Automobile Battery Charger can't keep battery fully charged?
If the charger fails to maintain a full charge in maintain mode, ensure there are no loads on the battery; if present, remove them. If no loads are present, have the battery checked or replaced. The issue may arise if the battery won’t hold a charge, due to a drain or a bad battery.
What to do if engine start does not work on Blue point EEBC100A Automobile Battery Charger?
If the engine start function isn't working, select boost or charge modes by pushing the rate selection button, then press the Start button to begin charging. If the Engine Start LED is blinking, allow a 3-minute rest before attempting another crank. Ensure the charger vents are clear, as the thermal protector might have tripped; wait longer for it to reset. For a severely discharged battery, use the Boost rate for several minutes to aid cranking. The issue may arise from drawing more than 200 amps, not waiting 3 minutes between cranks, overheating, or a severely discharged battery.
How to correct reversed connections on Blue point EEBC100A?
If the connections to the battery are reversed, unplug the charger and reverse the connections to the battery. This is because the battery is connected backwards.
Why is the Boost/Charge LED flashing on my Blue point EEBC100A Automobile Battery Charger?
If the Boost/Charge LED is flashing, it means the charger has stopped in Boost or Charge mode, indicating a bad battery. Disconnect the charger from the AC outlet, remove the clamps, and discontinue charging attempts. Have the battery checked and replaced if necessary. The charger cannot complete the boost or charge because the battery is bad.
What to do if Blue point Automobile Battery Charger doesn't reach full charge voltage?
If the battery doesn't reach the full charge voltage, try again with a higher current setting or have the battery checked or replaced. This issue may be caused by trying to charge a large battery or bank of batteries on too low of a current setting.
What happens when Blue point EEBC100A detects a sulfated battery?
The charger will enter desulfation mode. If desulfation is unsuccessful after 10 hours, the charger will enter abort mode.
What to do if Blue point Automobile Battery Charger does not detect a low voltage battery?
If the charger doesn't detect a low voltage battery, switch it to the OFF position and connect it to the battery. Then, set the switch to the Boost/Charge/Maintain position and push the rate selection button to turn on the charger. This is because the clamps are only active for the first 5 minutes after the charger is turned on before connecting to the battery; the charger was on for more than 5 minutes before it was connected to the battery.
What if Blue point EEBC100A shows low voltage after charging?
If the battery voltage remains below 10V (for a 12V battery) or 5V (for a 6V battery) after 2 hours of charging, have the battery checked or replaced, as it could be bad.
What to do if Blue point Automobile Battery Charger detects thermal runaway?
If the charger detects that the battery may be getting too hot (thermal runaway), have the battery checked or replaced.
