If there's no reading on the DieHard Battery Charger display, the clamps may not be making a good connection. Check for poor connections at the battery and frame, and make sure the connecting points are clean.
What to do if DieHard 200.71234 has no reading, fan not working, or breaker cycles?
If there's no reading on the meter, the charger fan isn't working, or the circuit breaker cycles on and off with a clicking sound in MANUAL Mode on your DieHard Battery Charger, the AC cord or extension cord might be loose, there may be no power at the receptacle, the battery clamps could be shorted, the battery might be shorted, the charger leads might be reversed, or the charger is set at the START position. Check the power cord and extension cord for a loose fitting plug. Check for an open fuse or circuit breaker supplying the AC outlet. Check for shorted cables and replace if needed. Correct the connections and touch-pad settings.
Why does the meter reading stay high on my DieHard 200.71234?
If your DieHard Battery Charger meter reading stays high, it could mean the battery is severely discharged or the wrong battery voltage was selected. Continue charging the battery for two more hours. Also, ensure the Battery Voltage Select switch is set to the correct 6 or 12 volt position.
What to do if DieHard 200.71234 Battery Charger meter reads less than selected charge rate?
If the meter reads less than the selected charge rate when charging a discharged battery with your DieHard Battery Charger, it could be due to a long extension cord, a weak cell or sulfated plate in the battery, or that the battery is only partially discharged. Try using a shorter or heavier gauge extension cord. A sulfated battery may eventually take a normal charge if left connected. Continue to charge the battery.
What to do if a 120V device won't operate when plugged into the DieHard Battery Charger GFCI outlet?
If a 120V device plugged into the DieHard Battery Charger's GFCI outlet doesn't work, the GFCI might have tripped. Try resetting it by pressing the 'RESET' button. Also, ensure the charger's power cord and any extension cords are securely connected to the AC wall outlet. Check the fuse or circuit breaker supplying the AC wall outlet, as well.
Why is my DieHard 200.71234 Battery Charger making a loud buzzing or humming noise?
A loud buzz or hum from the DieHard Battery Charger is usually due to the transformer laminations vibrating. You can continue charging, as this buzzing is not abnormal.
Why is the start cycle short when cranking the engine with my DieHard Battery Charger?
A short start cycle when cranking the engine with the DieHard Battery Charger can happen if you're drawing more than 275 amps (12V) or if you're not waiting for 3 minutes (180 seconds) between cranks. Crank time varies with the amount of current drawn. If cranking draws more than 275 amps, crank time may be less than 5 seconds. Wait until the METER displays RDY.
