How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF AC power feeding the charger at the service panel. Then turn OFF the generator and disconnect battery negative.

Steps:

  • Verify AC input: Check the breaker or fuse feeding the Gillette battery charger. Restore power if tripped.
  • Inspect charger: Open the control panel and locate the charger. Check for indicator LEDs showing fault. Inspect for burned smell or components.
  • Measure DC output: With AC restored and battery connected, measure charger output at the battery. If zero or very low, check any inline DC fuse. Replace fuse or charger as needed.
  • Secure connections: Tighten DC output terminals at both charger and battery.
