If your DieHard Battery Charger is on but not charging the battery, it's likely due to poor clip connections. Ensure that the connections to the battery and frame are secure and clean. Try rocking the clips back and forth to improve the connection.
What to do if my DieHard DH-200M Battery Charger is making a clicking sound?
If your DieHard Battery Charger is making a clicking sound, the circuit breaker might be cycling because the current draw is too high, or the battery may be defective, or the connections may be reversed. Here's what you can do: * Check the charger settings to ensure they are correct. * Have the battery checked. * Inspect the cables and clips for shorts, replacing them if necessary. * Allow charging to continue, as the battery may recover from its run-down state. However, if the clicking persists for more than 20 minutes, discontinue charging and have the battery checked. * Turn off the charger and correct the lead connections.
What to do if my DieHard Battery Charger ammeter reading stays high?
If the ammeter reading on your DieHard Battery Charger remains high, it could be due to the battery being severely discharged or using the wrong battery voltage. Continue charging the battery for an additional two hours. If the issue persists, have the battery inspected. Also, make sure that the voltage settings or output ratings on the charger are appropriate.
Why DieHard DH-200M Battery Charger won't turn on when connected?
If your DieHard Battery Charger won't turn on even when properly connected, check the A.C. outlet for an open fuse or circuit breaker. Also, verify that the power cord and any extension cords are securely plugged in.
How to troubleshoot no ammeter reading on DieHard Battery Charger?
If there's no reading on the ammeter of your DieHard Battery Charger, ensure the charger is plugged into a working A.C. outlet and check for any blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers supplying the outlet. Also, inspect the connections to the battery and frame for any looseness or corrosion, clean them if necessary, and try rocking the clips back and forth to establish a better connection. Unplug the charger and reverse the clips. Have the battery checked. Note that the ammeter may not show any activity at the 2A charge rate.
What to do if DieHard DH-200M ammeter reads less than selected charge rate?
If the ammeter on your DieHard Battery Charger reads less than the selected charge rate when charging a discharged battery, the extension cord might be too long or have too small of a wire gauge. It could also indicate 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. If the battery is sulfated, it may eventually take a normal charge if left connected. If the battery doesn't charge, have it checked. Continue charging the battery.
