If your DieHard Battery Charger isn't turning on, several factors could be at play. First, check the AC outlet for a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker. Second, ensure that the power cord and any extension cords are securely plugged in. Finally, the battery itself might be defective, so consider having it checked.
Why does my DieHard 28.71323 Battery Charger have a short start cycle?
A short or nonexistent start cycle with your DieHard Battery Charger can stem from several causes. It could be that the cranking is drawing more current than the Engine Start Rate allows. Also, ensure you're waiting the full 3 minutes between cranks to let the battery and charger cool down. Other potential issues include poor clamp connections at the battery and frame, loose AC or extension cords, a dead power receptacle (check the fuse or circuit breaker), an overheated charger (ensure vents aren't blocked and wait for it to cool), or a severely discharged battery (use the 10A Boost setting for a few minutes).
