Charger tripped breaker when plugged in. Tried different cords and circuits and it would charge at times for a few minutes before tripping. Sometimes instant. Took hood off to check charger nothing obvious so I tried it again with hood off and a circuit in the house not the garage. It does not trip or hasn’t in a couple hours. Any thoughts?

Maybe a gfi outlet. Mine often tripped until i use a purpose wired outlet. I also removed the gfi from the polaris cords.

It charged up but seeing this error code. I think it says PER FAULT.

also kind of weird that when it got up to full charge it shut down.
