Battery Tender - Question 1200 Scrambler Xe

Hi Folks-

This question is obviously not model specific, but I have a new 1200 Scrambler XE and like most of my other vehicles, I place a battery tender on them to manage the battery and keep it charged during times of inactivity.
I have a standard Deltran battery tender (750 milliamps) and have it hard wired and connected to the top of the battery directly. All I have to do is plug in the two prong plug and I am good to go.

The instructions are as follows;

1.) Flashing Red - not charging
2.) Solid Red- charging
3.) Flashing green - battery charging at >80%
4.) Solid green - monitoring.

The problem is .... the charger is flashing continuously red, I have verified the polarity is correct, I have also hooked up the charger directly to the battery w/ the supplied alligator clamps and I can say with certainty that the battery is not undercharged right now and has plenty of juice.

I have performed the above test w/ two separate battery tenders to make certain I don't have a bad one. Same results.

Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated??? Thank You - Dave

 

Thank you for the suggestion and I am researching this now and I think you may be correct and have possibly solved my problem.

Next question is - did my new Triumph (purchased last week) come with an AGM battery or lithium battery???? I suspect maybe AGM but contacting dealer now. Thank You !!

 

Well I ordered a new Deltran Battery Tender "Plus" supposed to be compatible with AGM batteries. I hope this is the issue. I did verify I have an AGM battery in my motorcycle.

Any other thoughts or ideas are appreciated ??

Thank You

 

Problem Solved -

In the event someone else faces this issue. Deltran has an in-line 7.5 amp simple automotive blade fuse. Removed the plastic cap, replaced fuse - problem solved!!

Thanks
to everyone!
