The charge volt gage dose not move how come

Well, first off, there is no voltage gauge on this model. The gauge is for amperage. There could be a lot of reasons for the amp gauge appearing to not work - a disconnected cable inside (that happens), a faulty gauge (rare, but possible), no load on the charger (are the battery cables connected securely?), timer knob not set from the "OFF" position (very likely), Volt/Amp selector not set from the "OFF" position (also very likely). These types of gauges are not entirely useful anyway since they basically only indicate an approximate reading that suggests the darn thing is turned on. If it appears to be running and if you have a voltage and ammeter, you can test both to see if it's putting out proper power to match the settings. The only complaint I had about this charger is that the internal fan is crap.

The Guage will show how much amps the charger is putting in the battory if your battery is not taking the charge I would have to say the battery is bad

I havent had any issues with the charger draining the batteries Ive left it unpluged for 6 weeks and didn't lose a volt on my guage. You might want to check to see if anything else might be draining you batteries its uncommon for a charger to do that.

It will not jump a car off so its not charging. It want even turn green when charging it want jump nothing off no matter how long u charge it

As an electronics tech graduate, I can say with some certainty that the wire is low voltage. The wire is too small a gauge to handle 120 volts. Also these motion sensors only need low voltage to operate. Of course, the only way to know for certain would be to take the device apart and I'm sure I couldn't have returned it had I done so.

Maybe you put the battery in backwards? There is some electronics in there that requires correct polarity.

Your battery may be too old or too cold. It may also be a polarity issue. try another outlet to plug into.

It sounds like you have a bad battery, you should probably exchange it. if you have a votlage meter you can check the charge on your battery before and after charge to confrim if indeed the battery is bad. good luck.

I believe I ran it back to the neg side of the battery since the system does not use the chassis for a ground.Just touch it and see if whatever you are hooking up works .

It may be weak batteries. Do you have the a.c. adapter? That may resolve the problem. I am assuming that you are referring to missing segments in the characters, not missing the entire character. Beyond correcting low battery power, I think your meter is due for servicing by a knowledgeable repair person. Have you contacted Omron about the problem? The may provide a replacement depending on the age of the meter.

Not sure, but it could be that your batteries are not holding a sufficient charge to register as full on the meter. Try checking each of your batteries separately with a multi meter. Each of my (old weak batteries) show 7v dc each when fully charged, and 6v when depleted. On the meter this shows up as overcharged (or near the H in the white CHG area) when charged and halfway down the green area when discharged. Hope this helps.

I tested the voltage when batteries were very low and fully charged. My controller did what the specs said. Good luck

It could be a wire in the charger is broken, and the minimal power you see is what is left in the batteries after they have had time to rest and redistribute their charge.You might ask someone you know to check it with a voltmeter.

Being a Volt gauge you would not be wiring in series through the gauge like is done with an amp-meter. The Volt gauge would be wired to a positive and negative lead to measure voltage only. No power would be transferred to any load so the amp draw from the load would not effect the gauge wires or gauge.

Could be a few different reasons this happened. the charger could have just been old. the charger was not secured with a surge protector. the wrong batteries where used in the charger.

You might have a bad battery. A cell can be intermittent and the voltmeter will still read okay, since it doesn't check current. I suggest you test each battery with a battery load tester.

Whoever posted the first answer, original poster did say the battery is depleted. Pay attention.To the OP: perhaps your battery is too small to be charged with a larger current.

If you're measuring millivolts, it's likely you're just measuring static charge that has accumulated on the leads or connections. If you connect the leads and short the ends together, you should get a zero voltage reading. Today's digital meters have a very high impedance which allows them to accurately measure very small voltages, but also results in accumulation of a static charge when measuring an open circuit. It's not uncommon to measure some voltage without anything connected to the meter.
