Battery Charging Issue

[SpeedBash]

On the off chance I'm missing something obvious thought I would ask here.

Car has been un-used for a few months so battery is flat.

Bought a new charger and plugged it in but un-able to select the correct mode to charge the battery.

The standby light is on but nothing else seems to work.

Anyone familiar with this type of charger and can advise if it's a duff charger or schoolboy error on my part.

Cheers.

I've fully read the instructions.

The charger is straightforward enough so I think it is faulty.

I've checked all connections and even tried a different extension lead without luck.

Posted on here on the off chance that I have missed something obvious.

It did cross my mind that if the battery was considered, by the charger, to be completely flat it may be the reason it isn't working.

Will try your tip and, if no joy, back it goes.

Don't seem to be having much luck with charging this battery.

Have hooked it up to a working old school charger which isn't registering any amps so am wondering if this battery is beyond saving or that this type of sealed battery can't be charged.

Could this be the case?

Measured the battery & charger and their voltages are as follows:

Battery: 6.78v
Charger: 0.42v

Does the low charger voltage suggest it isn't powerful enough to charge the battery?

So, I borrowed a battery jump starter and connected it to my dead battery.

I then connected the smart charger too the dead battery and turned it on and I am now able to select the charging mode.

Once correct charging mode selected, I dis-connected the jump starter and the smart charger is still charging the dead battery.

Will check it this time tomorrow but wanted to thank everyone who replied as I have added to my basic knowledge.
