Troubleshoot A Flyback Elite Series Pioneer Battery Charger

Japanese electronics giant Pioneer prides itself on the highest standard of service and performance when it comes to its product line, including the Elite Series battery charger, which should, in theory, provide consistent power to several batteries in Pioneer home entertainment products. However, things can go wrong, such as debris on the contacts, a cracked battery pack or a lack of power, which can all seriously impede the charger's operation.


Instructions


1. Verify that there is power going to the battery charger. This means checking the integrity of the power cable, looking for any loose cable connections and making sure the household breaker has not tripped -- reset the breaker, if necessary, in order to get power flowing to the charger again.


2. Inspect the battery pack closely. Look for any corrosion or leakage which could indicate why the unit is not working properly. If this is the case, have the unit replaced or repaired by an authorized technician.


3. Check the contacts, looking for any dirt or debris, and clean them gently with a small wire brush. The contacts are the small metallic points that conduct power from the charger to the appliance. If there is anything impeding the charging process, this could explain why the charger is not working properly.


4. Verify the compatibility of the battery charger, The charger will not work with a battery not designed for the Flyback Elite Series charger, so you may be using the wrong charger.
