First off, 24 volts open circuit is a dead battery. 25.1 is a charged battery. If you have a volt meter, hook it up across the main connector. Watch the voltage after you plug in the charger. After the charger goes through the start up sequence see if the voltage rises. If the voltage rises and the charger kicks out note the voltage when the kick out occurred. If the voltage rises too quickly it is an indication of a shorted battery. If you get no voltage rise you have a charger problem.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
