8. Odpravljanje težav
If you encounter issues with your Battery Tender Plus, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Težava | Možen vzrok | rešitev |
|---|---|---|
| Charger indicator lights are off. | No AC power, faulty outlet, or internal issue. | Check AC power connection. Test outlet with another device. If still off, contact support. |
| 'Charging' light does not illuminate. | Incorrect battery connection, battery voltage too low, or reverse polarity. | Ensure correct positive/negative connections. Verify battery voltage is above 3V (for 12V) or 1.5V (for 6V). Re-check voltage selection on charger. |
| 'Fully Charged' light does not illuminate after extended time. | Battery is deeply discharged, battery is sulfated, or battery is faulty. | Allow more time for charging. If still not fully charged, have the battery tested by a professional. |
| Polnilnik se med delovanjem segreva. | Normalno delovanje. | A slight warmth is normal. Ensure adequate ventilation around the charger. If it becomes excessively hot, disconnect and contact support. |
