Hi
Anybody able to help with a Genie battery charger that is flashing a fault code?
Its a Genie HB 600 - 24B charger
Genie part number on the charger is 96211 & its made by Signet systems inc.
Plug the charger in to the mains & it goes through its start up disco with the led's on the front.
You can then hear a relay click inside the charger for a second then it clicks off & the charger then beeps, the 50% 75% & 100% leds on the front flash together 8 times.
The charger then just keeps repeating this cycle of relay clicking in then out & 8 flashes of the leds.
Checked the red & black output leads from the charger, there intact.
I cant see a fuse on the charger unless its inside the unit, I havent had the top of yet.
So, can anyone tell me what error 8 flashes is please?
Cheers in advance

Please contact me via email. Wears currently offering a full refurbishment and 'new unit warranty' for the genie chargers at a fraction of the cost of a brand new unit.
It's actually just a charger manual. Though, it is provided by Genie. I was mostly just providing the info for reference for those who are searching by charger model number instead of by machine.
FYI...
the genie service manuals for the machines that have these chargers have all the same information, that is probably where it led you to anyways. ;o)
I figured that I would let everyone know that I found a manual for these chargers from Genie. So, I thought I would help everyone find it for reference to this thread (blink codes are on page 5):
Go to google and search these words: (genie 85460 pdf)
It is for the HB150-12, but the flash codes are the same.
i have about 8 chargers that need repairing. If you are having a success rate of 90%, can you contact me? Thanks.
Lucas..........Lucas! I know Lucas for his name is on about every control box on my 84 xjs Jaggy. The Lucas i am speaking of is quite pricey! LOL
Customer sourced the gel batteries, I just fitted them to the machine then adjusted the charger by cutting the yellow loop wire to stick it in GEL mode.
All I remember is the batteries where LUCAS branded.
Lucas = the prince of darkness.
That's an old joke in the UK, have a Google for Lucas prince of darkness, a lot of it is true.
Hello.Please tell me where you find the gel batteries who looks like troyan lead acid bateries at the dimensions ?The name of the company.
Best Regards !
Operators used to use the scissor lift for 30 minutes then put it back on charge, this just ruined 2 complete sets of lead acid batteries & 1 charger.
Company bought a new charger & we made them get a set of gel batteries, the gel batteries have slightly less running time then lead acid batteries BUT the gel batteries are much more tolerant of owner neglect unlike the lead acid batteries.
Scissor lift now runs for several hours on a full charge plus there is no need to top the batteries up, not that the operators ever bothered with doing that before anyway.
gel Batteries, interesting!
I am still trying to source a service manual to repair these bad boys, wish me luck
Good to hear you are operational and tackling the operator abuse
New charger is working fine, the scissor lift is also running gel batteries now to cut down on the operator abuse.
Just had to cut the yellow wire loop on back of charger to change it in to gel battery mode.
hi Forkingabout,
thanks for the reply, I was also interested to hear from Chrisautosound about the repair of these units.
How is the new unit going?
Cheers
A new charger from TVH was cheap enough.
I dismantled the old charger & it was basically beyond repair / toasted.
Hi, are you still actively repairing these chargers?
is there a service manual available or just a schematic?
