If your DieHard Battery Charger's ammeter isn't showing a reading, here's what you can check: * Ensure the charger is plugged into a working A.C. outlet. * Verify the outlet has power by checking the fuse or circuit breaker. * Make sure the clips have a solid connection to the battery and frame. * Confirm the connections aren't reversed; if they are, unplug the charger and reverse them. * The battery might be defective and unable to accept a charge, so have it checked. * If you're using the 2 amp charge rate, the ammeter may not show any activity.
Why is my DieHard 28.7124 making a clicking sound?
If your DieHard Battery Charger is making a clicking sound, it could indicate: * The circuit breaker is cycling; check for shorted cables or clips and replace them if needed. * The battery might be defective and needs to be checked. * There may be shorted battery cables or clips; inspect and replace if necessary. * The battery could be severely discharged but otherwise good; allow charging to continue until it recovers sufficiently. * The connections at the battery may be reversed; turn off the charger and correct the lead connections.
What to do if the ammeter reading stays high on my DieHard Battery Charger?
If the ammeter reading remains high on your DieHard Battery Charger, it could be due to: * The battery being severely discharged; continue charging for an additional two hours. * Incorrect battery voltage; verify that the voltage settings or output ratings on the charger are correct.
Why does the ammeter read less than the selected charge rate on my DieHard 28.7124?
If the ammeter reads lower than the selected charge rate when charging a discharged battery with your DieHard Battery Charger, consider these possibilities: * The extension cord might be too long or the wire gauge too small; use a shorter or heavier gauge extension cord. * The battery may have a weak cell or sulfated plate; a sulfated battery will eventually take a normal charge if left connected. * The battery might only be partially discharged; continue charging the battery.
