Check the open circuit voltage of the battery to see if it has any shorted cells - there should be about 
2.15 V/cell for a properly charged battery (divide the battery voltage by two to get the number of 
cells). If the battery voltage looks correct then you may be trying to charge a battery which has too 
large a capacity for the charger (see charging notes and tips). 
 

RATTLE 

- If you think you hear a rattle inside the charger it is probably only a loose terminal strip 

screw. Once the output cable is attached the rattle should go away. 
 

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS 
 

CLEANING - Unplug the charger before attempting any cleaning. If it becomes necessary to clean the 
enclosure, wipe the exterior of the enclosure with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Do not use an 
abrasive cleanser. Do not spray cleaners directly onto the charger or immerse unit in water.
