How do I know the batteries are fully charged? The LED shows they are full but the indicator on top of the panel went from CHG to ERROR.

I also have a battery tester, but I leave the batteries in over night and they are usually fully charged by then. I have not seen the Error indication, maybe the batteries were not set properly in the machine?

There could be one of two reasons for this.Usually it means that the battery is defective, or has become ineffective. Some batteries get to this point quicker than others.There is also a slight chance that the charger has gone bad

When you get an error message, it means that the battey is fully charged. Look at the meter ,the one that is full is the one to remove. Leave the others in. You can charge from one to four batteries. It should say chg. when all batteries are fully charged the meter will show. Full. You can not put a fully charged battery in with three low ones, that is when you get the error.figure out what slot is the indicator for the meter. Remove the one causing the error, it should go back to charge . If he keeps saying error your trying to charge a full battery. I do like this charger , it's quick and gives a good charge.

Never had that problem. Try to use the battery and see how long it will last then you'll know if the charger is working properly, and if the batteries are fully charged or not.

Never had a problem w/the charger.just adjust the batteries.get a battery checker.best way to check any battery.also the batteries are old?best wishes.

I got a similar unit and when I first plugged it in, it too showed "fully charged". I then unplugged it and checked the battery level, but it instantly showed 0V. So that told me the "full charge" reading was false and the charger was giving me that reading while the battery seemed like an "open circuit" and was not accepting power yet. So I did leave it plugged in and within 1/2 hour it began dropping the reading to show 65% charged or such which I knew was more realistic. So despite getting that "full charge" reading off the bat, it does need the charge time. I got a similar unit and when I first plugged it in, it too showed "fully charged".

I'm not sure. I do know when the indicator light turns green it is fully charged

Dear carbon, when the led light is stopped blinking, it show it has been charged fully. Thank you.

There is an LED light. It's green when they are ready to provide charging, orange (hard to see it different than red) when the batteries are low, and red when the batteries don't have enough charge to charge something.It stops charging the batteries when they are full. The light also says when the batteries are done charging. It blinks when they are charging. What the light says is printed in the bottom of the unit.

that is normal, as the level of charge increases the other lights will light up and blink, my battery took several hrs to charge, when I woke up all of the lights were lit and it was at 100%

Read the manual, set battery type and amp, solid yellow or green I forgot is fully charged, or solid yellow is charging, it's all in the manual.

The light on top was alternating red/green. I thought it might mean the batteries, but I checked & they are fully charged.Now, I can't get it to work at all, no lights, no pump, nothing...yes, the batteries are installed correctly. Any ideas?

there are (3) lights:AC PowerCharging-unit is actively charging the batteryFloat Maintenance -battery has reached full charge and unit has switched to maintenance mode

When I got mine, they were fully charged. If yours are not, they may be defective or may be very old and might have lost some of the charge.

Tony,I have not had this issue, after the 23 hours of charging, when you check the battery indicator lights, are all 3 lit. if they are, there is no issue. the battery is at full power. Otherwise run the battery until fully depleted then recharge. usually they take a few times to come up to full power. Hope this helps!

When I plug mine in the red light goes on. If it's been plugged in for days it goes off. I believe this indicates a full charge. The maintainer must have some sort of circuitry measuring voltage or current from the battery so as not to overcharge.

The white area labeled CHG indicates the battery voltage indicates it is charged. The red areas to the right of CHG indicates possible overcharge condition. The green area indicates the batteries are charged sufficient it should operate ok. The red area indicates the batteries need charging. This is basically a voltage indicating device and you may see the pointer drop when pressing the pedal accelerating. It does draw a small amount of current if connected where it reads all the time (around .016 amps). If you use your cart regular and charge its batteries it should not cause a noticeable drain on the batteries. I put mine on a switched voltage source.

I misplaced mine for over 3 months. When I found it, the LED lights indicated that it was still fully charged. (I'm glad I found it!!)

There are supposed to be a blue light that indicates it is ready for use and a pink light to indicate it needs to be recharged. All mine did was heat up as well. The indicators were broken.

I don't think the light color is a working estimation of whether the battery is charged or not. I believe mine is always green, I usually look at the light strength to monitor it when its charging.
