I have one, and sometimes it starts blinking 0.0 for 10-20 seconds, then starts showing volts again. Anyone have this happen? There was no manual.

Bad connection?? I haven't had this happen. Been using the gauges about 2 years now. If voltage is right around the cutoff of 4.5V I suppose it could blink on/off as the voltage hovers around that point. Gauge puts a tiny load on system so volts would drop, then without the load V would increase again over 4.5V so it would light up again, and the cycle would repeat.

This didn't happen for me. It could either be a faulty meter, or it is getting 0.0 volts.

Mine does the same thing. It is charged when I unplug it later. I wish the LED indicator would stay on.

I have only experienced this with LED bulbs on a different light housing. I'd recommend trying a regular light bulb/flood light bulb to see if the blinking still occurs.

I am not familiar with that reading. My unit has worked like a charm. I would suggest that you go to the vendor's website. Maybe someone else has experienced something similar. Good luck!

I would unplug it and replug it in, and go through each step again. When I first started using it, I would forget and set the temperature first instead of last. Look for the blinking dot next to the temperature.

It's never happened to us. Are the batteries new? I would replace those and if it doesn't help, return it. It may be defective.

mine only blinks when i've had it on awhile, and it goes off automatically. if i push the off button, then i can leave it off, or push the button again to turn it back on.

I have 4 lights total and 2 have always worked perfectly, 1 has never worked and the 4th only ever "glowed" until last night, when I pulled it apart again, flipped switches and reinstalled batteries. Magically it seems perfect now. So, I'd suggest playing with it a bit.

Mine still has the blinking light. I have the exact same one I bought two years ago, and this one I just bought a month ago. Both blink.

This is a common issue with this model. Count the number of times it blinks. It is most likely that one of the internal boards need to be replaced. At least this was the case for the one I bought.

I am not sure why it does it, but mine does it occasionally also. One thing you can check is to see what Amp hour you have it set for, It seems that when mine shows that I have had the Ah set wrong and it is showing that because I have had it set to a higher Ah battery than what I actually had. The battery will only take so many amps before the resistance gets too high and charge shuts off. If you have a 100 Ah batter and have the meter set to 200 Ah, The meter will show half full when the battery is full and the charge shuts off or goes into float mode from the controller. That is where I would look first. Make sure that you have the meter set right with the battery you have and then if it still shows 60%SOC you may have a bad one. But After I changed my settings, the meter seems to be reading correctly. It has actually gone to 100% Hope that works for you!

It sounds like it needs to be recalibrated. Take the batteries out, then reinsert them. Put it down in the flat hard spot where you want to keep it, moving it around will cause this. If you have a small level, you could check that. Then step on it several times, waiting a few seconds in between. i have done this 4-5 times when I get different readings, but then it settles. If this does not work, check your instructions again, if you follow all the instructions and it does not work, I would contact the company. Good Luck!

me too!!! mine started blinking last year - after i took it apart and cleaned as the manual instructed. Put it away for about 4 months - took it out last week, yep,,, still blinking.

Mine appears to do the same thing (in hundredths & thousandths digits) especially when I shake the unit or leads. Goes to steady zero when I touch leads. I don't think this is defect.

That is odd. Did you let it sit for a while? I remember blinking lights for sometime before the constant green light came on.I'd contact Amazon or the manufacturer to see if you can exchange it. Personally, I love mine and even gave one to my best friend for her birthday. I use DuraCell batteries.

My light (green) stay's on when charging. It goes off when complete. Mine only blinks when the battery is low. It sounds as if your battery might be faulty.I never use tech support on anything. They usually know less about their products than we do!

Make sure its fully charged. I only figures this out after testing it out and seeing very short videos of the test. I know there has been some complaints of malfunctioning, but mine works fine.
