What to do if the battery capacity indicators flash alternatively on my GYS BATIUM 15/24 Battery Charger?
- D
  donna74Jul 30, 2025
  If the battery capacity indicators flash alternatively, it could be due to several reasons: * The battery is in short circuit or damaged, in which case, replace the battery. * A power consumer has been left on accidentally (e.g., lights). Switch off the power consumer and continue or restart the charge. * The charger is being used as a power supply to compensate for power consumers draining the battery's energy. The charger is behaving normally, but the indicator that signals the end of the charge cannot switch on due to this incorrect usage. * The battery capacity (Ah) is higher than the charger's. If possible, use a more powerful charger. * The battery voltage does not rise, indicating the battery is damaged. Replace the battery.

Why isn't the charge indicator switching on when the battery is connected to my GYS BATIUM 15/24 Battery Charger?

  If the charge indicator does not switch on when the battery is connected, while the battery voltage and capacity indicators are on, there might be a few reasons: * The polarities + and – are reversed. Ensure the red clamp is at the + and the black clamp at the -. * There are bad clamp connections. Clean the terminals and reconnect the clamps. * The battery is deeply discharged. Use the « forced charge » mode. * The fuse is melted. Disconnect the machine from the mains, remove the clamps from the battery, and replace the fuse with the correct size (15 A for a Batium 7-12, 7-24, or 30 A for a Batium 15-12 and 15-24).

What to do if the charge indicator is off and the voltage indicators blink on my GYS BATIUM 15/24 Battery Charger?

  If the charge indicator is off and the battery voltage indicators blink alternatively after 1 minute of charging, it could be due to: * The selected voltage does not match the battery voltage. Unplug the device from the mains while holding the clamps on the battery. Reconnect the BATIUM to the mains supply. Select the correct voltage within 5 seconds of reconnecting the product. * The battery cannot be recovered. In this case, change the battery.

What does it mean if the «SOS Recovery» light flashes on my GYS Batium 15.12 or 15.24?

  Lisa SimsAug 11, 2025
  If the «SOS Recovery» indicator light flashes after one minute of charge, it means the battery has suffered a deep discharge over a long period, with a start in sulfation. Disconnect the machine from the mains, then the clamps, and activate the « SOS Recovery » mode.

What should I do if the forced charge indicator doesn't turn on after pressing the battery voltage button on my GYS charger?
- S
  Shelly GreeneAug 20, 2025
  If, after pressing the battery voltage button for 5 seconds to start the forced charge, the indicator does not switch on, it means the battery voltage is less than 0.5 V (± 0.3). The battery needs to be replaced.

What to do if GYS Battery Charger capacity indicators (B) flash?
- M
  Mark BishopOct 25, 2025
  If the battery capacity indicators (B) on your GYS Battery Charger are flashing, it could indicate several issues. It might be due to a short-circuited or damaged battery, in which case you should replace the battery. Another cause might be a consumer left on (like headlights); turn it off and restart the charge. The charger may be used to compensate high consumers connected to the battery. The battery could also have a higher capacity (Ah) than the charger’s capability, resulting in an abnormally long charging time. If feasible, use a more powerful charger. It's also possible that you've selected a battery capacity (Ah) lower than the one indicated on your battery; select the correct capacity. Finally, the battery voltage might not be rising, indicating a damaged battery that needs replac...
