If there is no reading on the ammeter, check for poor connections to the battery and frame, ensuring the connecting points are clean. Also, the ammeter may not show any activity at the 2-amp charge rate.
What to do if no reading on DieHard 200.71231 Battery Charger ammeter and fan not working?
If there's no reading on the ammeter and the fan isn't working, check for an open fuse or circuit breaker supplying the AC outlet. Also, inspect the power cord and extension cord for a loose-fitting plug.
What to do if DieHard Battery Charger circuit breaker cycles on and off?
The circuit breaker cycles when the current draw is too high. Here's what to check: * Ensure the battery clamps are separated. * Inspect cables for wear and replace them if necessary. * Have a Sears technician test the battery. * Make sure the connections are correct. * Verify that the Volt/Amp Selector is set correctly.
Why DieHard 200.71231 ammeter reads less than selected charge rate?
If the ammeter reads less than the selected charge rate, it could be due to several reasons. The extension cord might be too long or have too small a wire gauge. There could be a weak cell or sulfated plate in the battery. Also, the battery may only be partially discharged. Try using a shorter or heavier gauge extension cord. A sulfated battery might eventually take a normal charge if left connected. If the battery does not charge, have it tested by a Sears technician. You can also continue charging the battery.
What to do if DieHard Battery Charger start cycle is short when cranking engine?
The crank time can vary with the amount of current drawn. If cranking draws more than 200 amps, the crank time may be less than 5 seconds. Make sure to wait 4 minutes before the next crank.
What to do if DieHard Battery Charger makes a loud buzz or hum?
A buzzing sound is often caused by transformer laminations vibrating, while a humming sound may indicate a shorted diode. Continue charging, as the buzz is usually not abnormal. However, it is recommended to have the charger tested by a Sears technician.
