What to do if my DieHard 200.713201 shows no ammeter reading?

  If the DieHard Battery Charger shows no ammeter reading, first ensure the clamps are making a solid connection to clean battery posts. A severely discharged battery might not accept an automatic charge; in this case, switch to the manual setting. Also, the 2-amp charge rate may show little activity on the ammeter. Verify that the AC outlet and extension cords are properly connected and that the outlet's fuse or circuit breaker is functional.

Why does the ammeter read less than selected charge rate on my DieHard 200.713201 Battery Charger?

  Gary StewartAug 5, 2025
  If the ammeter reads less than the selected charge rate on your DieHard Battery Charger, it could be due to several reasons. The extension cord might be too long or not heavy enough; try using a shorter or heavier gauge cord. The battery may have a weak cell or a sulfated plate. A sulfated battery may eventually take a normal charge if left connected. Continue charging the battery. If the battery still won't charge, have it tested by a technician.

  If the ammeter needle stays on the right side of the meter on your DieHard Battery Charger, it could mean the battery is severely discharged or the battery size selector switch is in the wrong position. Try charging the battery for another two hours. If the problem persists, consult a qualified technician. Ensure the size selection is in the correct 12 or 24 volt position.

What to do if the circuit breaker in my DieHard Battery Charger cycles on and off?

  If the circuit breaker in your DieHard Battery Charger cycles on and off with a clicking sound in the manual setting, it indicates that the current draw is too high. First, separate the clamps. Then, inspect the battery cables for wear and replace them if necessary. Have a technician test the battery. Ensure that the charger leads are correctly connected to the battery.

Why is my DieHard Battery Charger making a loud buzz or hum?
- M
  Michael DiazAug 25, 2025
  If your DieHard Battery Charger is making a loud buzzing or humming noise, this is likely due to the transformer laminations vibrating. You can continue charging, as this buzz is not abnormal.
