Good batteries in 2000 GEM e825 do not seem to charge. when charging the BDI first flashes 12 times green and then 4 times red. Keeps flashing red, 4 times then a pause, then 4 times, etc. Can’t find this light series in the manual. Batteries were at 85% and did not charge at all after 8 hours. Any ideas? ---

You can download a troubleshooting guide at Delta-Q, if that is the charger on your GEM QuiQ Charger - GEM Product Manual This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for versions of the QuiQ or QuiQ-dci charger / DC-DC converter installed on GEM brand vehicles (Model nos. 912-240x / 360x / 480x / 720x. Please read this information before using your Delta-Q QuiQ Charger. For manufacturer contact information and technical support resources, please visit [delta-q.com/support](http://delta-q.com/support) 4 red flashes: Charge timeout: the charge did not complete in the allowed time. This may indicate a problem with the battery pack (voltage not attaining the required level), or that the charger output was reduced due to high ambient temperatures. Check all the battery connectors, be sure all are clean with no corrosion and are tight. ---

Make sure you have a heavy duty extension cord and good connections on ac. 4 flashes is “AC voltage out of range”. ---

Thanks for the input. All fittings tight. correct ext. cord. This time battery at 70% and started charging. Green light blinking for some time, then went to blinking yellow and ended blinking green. Checked after a couple hours and display shows 100% charged. Batteries at 13v. Maybe the charging problem was heat. I’m in Arizona and it has been 110+ all week. What is the proper light sequence when the unit is charging? Does flashing green mean fully charged? Cheers!
