4. Check again that the battery you are trying to charge and the settings on the EOS 5i match Battery type such as NiMH or Lithium battery capacity number of cells charge voltage and charge rate must all be correct 2 Check that the input cable and output cables Have proper connectors in good condition Are not frayed worn cut or damaged Are the proper gauge 2 5mm 14ga Are proper length 20cm 8 on output side 3 Attach the charger input connectors to a 12V automotive battery that is in good condition and fully charged Wiggle the Terminal clips into the battery posts to insure that you have a good connection Many charger problems are due to poor quality or inadequate switching AC DC power supplies so this test is necessary to eliminate those from the list of suspects 4 Try another battery for charging If your RC battery is in poor condition over discharged or in some other way defective the charger may correctly refuse to charge it based on safety algorithms 5 Try another RC battery type For example switch to a NiMH battery if you are failing to charge Lithium types Success with one type but failure with another generally indicates that the charger is working properly The failing battery type is almost certainly in poor condition then or you have improperly set the charger for it 6 Contact your dealer with full details and description of the problem including the type of input power source RC battery ty
