Call the manufacturer and ask them if it is telling you if a known good battery
Is bad.
If itâ??s like my new Shumacher(sp?) charger it require some juice to work. If
the battery is 100% flat, it wonâ??t see it. Also, you cannot use as a power
supply while bench testing anything. It does have the Redditâ??s that tell
you what the voltage it or the percentage of charge.
Iâ??ll buy a conventional style next time.
My two cents,

My Tr4 hasn't gotten out at all this summer. I put my new battery charger on
it - It's all electronic vs my old one that just had a 3 position switch and
an analog meter.
This new charger is quite fancy, it will tell you if the battery is connected
backwards, light a light with a bad battery, etc. Trouble is I"m not sure I
trust it.
I've had this thing tell me 4 batteries are bad. I havent been driving my
truck, my wife hasn't been driving her Z4, and my mom's car battery showed bad
as well....
I think I'm going to buy an old school charger and see what happens. It's
cheaper than buying one of the four batteries....
Or they just sat so long they died..... Anyone have experience with those
newer fancy chargers? Any issues or concerns?
Thanks!
