Why does my DieHard Battery Charger meter reading stay high?
If the meter reading on your DieHard Battery Charger stays high, it could be due to the battery being severely discharged or the wrong battery voltage being selected. Continue charging the battery for two more hours. Also, ensure the BATTERY Voltage Select switch is in the proper 6 or 12 volt position.
What to do if my DieHard Battery Charger meter reads less than selected charge rate when charging a discharged battery?
If the meter reads less than the selected charge rate when charging a discharged battery, it could be due to several reasons. The extension cord might be too long, so try using a shorter or heavier gauge extension cord. It could also indicate a weak cell or sulfated plate in the battery; a sulfated battery will eventually take a normal charge if left connected. Continue to charge battery.

A loud buzz in your DieHard Battery Charger usually indicates that the transformer laminations are vibrating. A humming sound suggests a shorted diode. Continue charging, as the buzzing sound is not abnormal.
What to do if DieHard Battery Charger circuit breaker cycles on and off with a clicking sound in MANUAL Mode?
The circuit breaker cycles when the current draw is too high. Check for shorted cables and replace if needed. Correct connections. Correct touch-pad settings.
Why is there no reading on my DieHard 200.71232 meter and the fan is not working?
If there is no reading on the meter and the charger fan isn't working, the AC cord and/or extension cord may be loose, or there may be no power at the receptacle. Check the power cord and extension cord for a loose-fitting plug. Also, check for an open fuse or circuit breaker supplying the AC outlet.
