If the BAD BATTERY and CHARGING LEDs are lit on your DieHard Battery Charger, it means the charger is in desulfation mode because the battery is sulfated. Continue charging for several hours. If this isn't successful, have the battery checked.
Why does the LED not light when my DieHard Battery Charger is properly connected?
If the LED does not light when your DieHard Battery Charger is properly connected, it could be due to a few reasons. First, the AC outlet might be dead, so check the fuse or circuit breaker. Second, there might be a poor electrical connection; inspect the power cord and extension cord for a loose plug. Lastly, the battery itself could be defective, in that case have it checked.
What to do if the CHARGING LED never lit on my DieHard DH136?
If the battery is properly connected, but the CHARGING LED never lit on your DieHard Battery Charger, it might be because the battery voltage is low. Press the Start/Stop button to start charging.
Why the CHARGING LED on my DieHard DH136 Battery Charger did not light immediately?
