  Vanessa ReyesAug 17, 2025
  If your Kincrome Battery Charger has no DC output, it could be due to a few reasons. The output might be short-circuited, so check the DC connection between the charger and battery, ensuring they aren't touching each other. Another possibility is reverse polarity, so verify that the crocodile clips or ring terminals are connected to the correct polarity. Lastly, check for loose or bad connections to the battery, ensuring the crocodile clips haven't fallen off or come loose.

  If your Kincrome Battery Charger shows no charging current, it could be due to several reasons. Firstly, the battery might be severely sulphated, so check its condition and age. Secondly, the battery might have a damaged cell, potentially requiring replacement. Lastly, the charger might be in over-temperature protection mode, so move both the battery and charger to a cooler environment.

Why the full light won’t come ON on kincrome Battery Charger?
- J
  Joseph HernandezSep 4, 2025
  If the full light doesn't come on your Kincrome Battery Charger, it could be because the battery's Ah capacity is too large for the charger, causing it to time out. Check the charger specifications to ensure they match the battery capacity. Also, the battery might be defective and need replacement or severely sulphated, so check the charger specifications to ensure they match the battery capacity.

The Kincrome KP87006 is a Universal Smart 9-Stage Battery Charger & Maintainer designed for 12V lead-acid batteries, offering a 25 AMP charge rate. It is a 100% automatic, microprocessor-controlled device that requires no technical experience to operate.

Function Description

The KP87006 serves as a smart battery charger, maintainer, and rejuvenator. It features a 9-stage charging process that includes:

Qualification: Battery condition check.
Battery Rejuvenation (Recondition Mode): Repairs sulfated batteries.
Soft Start Charging: Gently charges the battery.
Bulk Charging: Delivers maximum charge current.
Absorption Charging: Ensures full charge without overcharging.
Equalisation Charging: Restores full capacity by removing acid stratification.
Battery Analysis: Checks battery condition after charging.
Float Mode: Maintains the battery at 100% charge.
Long Term Maintenance Pulse Charge: Keeps the battery in optimal condition.

The charger automatically diagnoses battery condition upon power-up, determining if rejuvenation or a standard charge cycle is needed. It also includes a Power Supply Mode, activated by pressing and holding the Charge Rate button for 3 seconds, which allows the unit to function as a constant voltage power source.

Usage Features

Battery Type Selection: The device supports AGM & WET, Calcium, and Gel battery types. Users can select the appropriate type using the "Battery Type Selection Button" (1).
Charge Rate Selection: Three charge rates are available: 25A Rapid, 15A Silent (Night Mode), and 2A Maintenance. These can be selected via the "Charge Rate Selection Button" (2).
- Rapid Charge Mode: Uses maximum current for fastest charging. The fan may turn on.
- Silent Charge Mode (Night Mode): Charges at a reduced rate, typically without fan operation.
- Maintenance Mode: Recommended for long-term maintenance or charging smaller batteries.
Patented Battery Rejuvenation Technology: This unique feature uses high voltage equalizing and peak pulse reconditioning to repair sulfated batteries, extending battery life. It can be activated automatically or manually by holding the Battery Type button for 3 seconds until the BLUE Bulk LED flashes rapidly.
Power Supply Mode: Provides a constant voltage output. Activated by holding the Charge Rate button for 3 seconds. The 25A LED will also be ON in this mode.
Temperature Compensation: A sensor attached to the Negative battery clamp ensures optimal charging voltage based on ambient temperature.
ECO Mode: Features ultra-low power consumption. If AC power is connected but the battery is disconnected, the charger enters ECO mode after 10 seconds, indicated by flashing GREEN Battery Type and Charge Rate LEDs. Power consumption is less than 0.5W in this mode.
Output Connectors: Comes with heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant crocodile clips and ring terminals. Ring terminals can be detached from crocodile clips using an Alan key.
LED Status Indicators:
- GREEN Battery Type LEDs (8): Indicate selected battery type.
- GREEN Charge Rate LEDs (3): Indicate selected charge rate/mode.
- RED Fault LED (4): Indicates short circuit, reverse polarity, rejuvenation failure, over-temperature, or soft start/bulk charging timeout.
- BLUE Bulk LED (5): Fast flash for rejuvenation, slow flash for soft start, ON for bulk charging.
- GREEN Absorption LED (6): Flashes during equalisation, ON during absorption.
- GREEN Full LED (7): Flashes if analysis failed, ON if fully charged (float/maintenance mode).
- Power Supply LED: ON when in Power Supply Mode (25A LED also ON).
Safety Timers: Each charging stage has safety timers to prevent overcharging or damage to severely discharged/sulfated batteries.
Reverse Polarity Protection: Disables charging and illuminates the fault LED if leads are connected incorrectly.
Short Circuit Protection: Automatically turns OFF and illuminates the fault LED if output leads are short-circuited.

Maintenance Features

Long-Term Maintenance: The charger can be left connected 24/7 to maintain batteries at peak performance with a special pulse charge.
Battery Condition Analysis: The charger performs an analysis after the charge cycle to check battery health. If the battery voltage drops too quickly, it indicates a faulty battery.
Electrolyte Level Check (Pre-Charge): For non-sealed batteries, users should check and top up electrolyte levels with distilled water if necessary.
Ventilation: Always ensure the battery is charged in a well-ventilated area due to the potential escape of explosive gases.
Troubleshooting Guide: The manual provides a comprehensive troubleshooting table for common issues like no indicator lights, no DC output, no charging current, or full/float light not coming on, with possible causes and solutions.
Internal Overheat Protection: Automatically decreases charging current if the unit overheats or overloads, resuming normal charging once the temperature drops.

The Kincrome KP87006 is designed for all conventional lead-acid sealed batteries (Calcium, Gel, AGM & WET) and is not suitable for lithium-type batteries. It comes with a 24-month warranty.
