Default Battery Tender plus question

Hey folks,
My bettery tender plus is acting funny. The red light stays lit and the green lght is flashing. What does this mean??? the trouble shooting guide does not show this example.

Thanks

Checked my instructions & didnot find anything either. I assume you checked the fuse & connections. Maybe you shud go to their website & see if you can get some help there?

red light flashing...battery not charging

red light solid...battery charging

green light flashing...battery is greater than 80% charged

green light solid...monitoring battery.

My instructions say "When the green light is flashing and the amber light is on, the battery is greater than 80% charged...". The instructions seem to use the words amber and red to mean the same color.

When the green light is on solid and the red light is off, the battery is fully charged.

Look at the status indicator lights section of the instructions just before the trouble shooting check list.

turn the unit around. all the operating parameters are on the back.

and yes, it's 80% plus till it goes solid.
