Battery Charger problem

[SPS]

Hi I have a CTEK charger and all was well yesterday. However I noticed that this morning a single solid green light was on which means that it is not connected to the battery! I have re-connected into the lighter point a number of times but it is still showing the no connection light.
Engine fires up as I was out in the car a couple of days ago but obviously don't want the battery to go flat, I was wondering if there is a fuse that could need replacing. Any ideas/help would be much appreciated.

i have the same charger so my idea: try to connect to another battery and see what happens.

if same, charger "has something", but try also to connect to your tvr via anderson-plug.

sorry to ask, but have you pushed the button on the cytek to get the right loading procedure ?

Hi - yes I have the mode on the correct setting.

My bike charger sometimes shows no battery connected.

It tends to be when fully charged and so turns into a type of sleep mode.

Maybe try leaving it off for a few hours and then turn it on again to reset.

I was wondering about that but usually it just goes into a maintenance mode.

Fuse No 20 ok ?

Brilliant - I'll give that a go.
Many thanks

I always thought the solid green light was illuminated when the battery was charged and the charger was not doing anything?? You only got the amber light next to the car symbol when the charger was charging as it had detected the voltage was below the threshold. The other amber light shows its connected up

Which model CTEK do you have?

That's what mine does too like most chargers green means charged or its simply trickling a charged battery. I charge mine through the lighter and never had an issue

That's certainly what my Accumate does but I was keeping quiet as I know nothing about the CTEK.

The latest versions look a bit different to be fair, I had a look on the CTEK website for the instructions and none of the new chargers look like mine!!
