  Maria ClarkAug 17, 2025
  If the charging unit for your Heraeus Kulzer Medical Equipment doesn't power on and the green LED is off, first ensure the input power supply is securely connected to both the electrical outlet and the charging unit. Try a different power outlet to rule out voltage issues. If those aren't the problem, the power cable or the input power supply itself might be damaged, requiring replacement. In rare cases, the charging unit might be defective, or its contacts could be short-circuited. Eliminate the cause of short circuit. If the short circuit condition persists, replace the charging unit contacts with new ones.
