What to do if indicator lights will not illuminate on MINN KOTA MK345PC Battery Charger?
If the indicator lights on your MINN KOTA Battery Charger are not illuminating, check the AC power at the outlet. Ensure that the GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) for the outlet has not tripped. If you are using an extension cord, verify the AC power at the end of the extension cord.
What to do if red LED is flashing with steady 25% yellow LED on MINN KOTA MK345PC Battery Charger?
If the red LED is flashing with a steady 25% yellow LED on your MINN KOTA Battery Charger, ensure there are no power loads on the battery. Also, check the fluid level in the battery and add fluid per the battery manufacturer’s specifications. If the battery voltage does not increase above 10.5 volts after 3 hours, the bank will shut down and not charge, so the battery should be tested.
What to do if red LED is flashing with steady 50% yellow LED on MINN KOTA MK345PC?
If the red LED is flashing with a steady 50% yellow LED on your MINN KOTA Battery Charger, first, check to ensure that there are no power loads on the battery. Next, check the fluid in the battery and add fluid according to the battery manufacturer’s specifications. Finally, if the voltage of the battery does not increase to the absorption voltage in 20 hours, the bank will shut down and will not charge, meaning the battery should be tested.
How to fix a MINN KOTA Battery Charger when the red LED is lit?
If the red LED is lit on your MINN KOTA Battery Charger, first, check the polarity of the leads to the battery. Also, inspect the connections to the battery and the fuses in the output cord. Finally, ensure the battery voltage is within the acceptable range, as the bank will not charge a battery below 4 volts or above 16 volts.
Why is the red LED flashing with steady 25% and 50% yellow LEDs on my MINN KOTA Battery Charger?
If the red LED is flashing with steady 25% and 50% yellow LEDs on your MINN KOTA Battery Charger, there is a fault within the charger. Reset the charger by unplugging the AC cord and waiting for all LEDs to turn off, then plug the AC cord back in.
What does it mean when the red LED is flashing with steady 75% yellow LED on MINN KOTA MK345PC?
If the red LED is flashing with a steady 75% yellow LED on your MINN KOTA Battery Charger, the temperature sensor in the output cord may be damaged. If the output cord was extended, check to make sure the procedure in the Safety Instructions 4i was followed.
