What to do if the red fault LED is on for Eliminator 011-1968-6 Battery Charger?
- C
  Cathy JonesAug 5, 2025
  If the red fault LED is illuminated on your Eliminator Battery Charger, it could be due to several reasons: * The clamps are inversely connected to the battery. Solution: Reverse the clamp connections. * The battery voltage is still less than 10 V after some charging time, or the battery has not reached full charge after 24 hours. Solution: The battery is likely defective, so test or replace it. * The battery voltage is too high. Solution: Ensure the battery is 12 V and not 24 V.

  The amber fault LED on your Eliminator Battery Charger might be on because of: * A poor clamp connection to the battery posts. In this case, check the clamp connection, ensure the battery posts are clean, and rock the clamps back and forth to ensure a good connection. * The battery voltage is too low (less than 1.5 V) to activate the charger. Check the battery voltage with a voltmeter. If it's less than 1.5 V, test or replace the battery, as a battery discharged below this voltage is likely beyond repair.
