ICS 10 charger failing to charge.fuse is ok.no indicator lights on.

You may want to look for the manual but it is mostly caused by a bad battery. The battery may be discharged far and many chargers are not capable to charge batteries being even close to full. Green means charging and red is fail. It keeps trying. A broken and useless battery may show the same indicators flashing. Inspect the battery to make sure it is in a good condition, like acid at about the right level and no traces of melting on the container or visible loose/bent plates. Put a voltage or multimeter on 20 Volt at its terminals and determine the battery has any voltage to begin with. 11Volt indicates an empty battery and 12,8 to 13,2 is probably full. An empty 12 Volt battery is charged with a 12 Volt ~ 1 Amp power adapter (maximum 1/10 of battery Amp but not until fully charged) and preferably a 1 Amp fuse in the + line. This is "attended charging," meaning things must not get hot and charging is stopped before the battery is full. Then try the charger again, always the 12 Volt clamps attached first and next the plug in the mains. Disconnecting is in reverse order.
Bad batteries often have sulfur on their plates and can be revived by fast discharging but the success rate is low. Meaning a battery can be better but not good enough. Batteries have a life of 5 years and closer to 10 when always charged. When charging was low and often not, the battery could have died after two or three years. This apart from a limited number of charge-discharge cycles. The test is with all lights on and then not dimming in the first minute or after ten seconds. Good batteries must hold charge for a week and not much less every day.

Whip out your digital multimeter and check the output voltage. It sounds like the charger has failed. The sparking is not a good sign.

Do the batteries charge? Are they charged? The green indicator normally is the status signal that the battery is charged and the red indicates that the battery needs charging or is charging. If you plug in a charged battery, some chargers will flash red momentarily then go out. This is an indication that the charger checked the battery (red light) and if the charge is good, the red light will go out. I hope this helps you.

Sounds like the charger is bad. It is 24vdc output, so you can check with a voltmeter. It probably blew the fuse inside since it isn't lighting the green charge light. There are replacement chargers for this for under $20.

Hi , use the scooter for about 10 minutes, okay now plug in the charger, do any of the lights go red or orange to indicate it's charging, if not , remember one green light is to indicate it's turned on...

1. Check the voltage can be seen at the charger socket, (mulitmeter required here volt DC setting looking at the two outside holes)

2. Is it not possible to try another charger ? as long as it the same fitting ...

3. Is there a fuse for the charging line?.

4. If all fails then it seems the batteries need be replaced.

Time to replace battery - not taking a charge properly.

The batteries need charging and when you plug in the charger and the power is on the lights wil flash indicating that the charger is plugged in. Now look at the rear of the chair near where the charger cord plugs into the chair and you should see a voltmeter. With the charger plugged in the voltmeter will indicate about 5-6 amps and after charging overnight the voltmeter should be reading 0 amps. If when you plug in the charger cord and the voltmeter indicates 0 amps then I would suspect that the charger is not working or that the fuse is blown in the charger circuit. The only way to see if the batteries charge would be to borrow or find an offboard charger that will plug into the charger port located under the front of the joystick and after charging for 10-12 hours see if the battery level lights show full charge Hope this helps

It sounds like you have some corrosion on the terminals. Remove the batteries and with a good light source look at the springs and plates to make sure there is no corrosion. If there is remove it with crocus cloth. Check the batteries also for corrosion. If you find any remove it the same way. If after cleaning everything the batteries still will not charge get new ones as you probably have one or more which are shorted.

Thanks for using FixYa and for the generous rating.

factory defect in the charger i think if out of warranty check fuse inside the charger.

Not sure if this will help... however an altmeter will allow you to test along your electrics for any faults. You can check at the lights for example and throught the system.
