This guide applies when you try to charge your machine but
the battery does not seem to be holding a charge, or the
LED light on the charger is staying green even when
plugged into the wall outlet and the machine.
Step 1 –Check Reset Switch
1. Check if the reset switch has been tripped.
If it is showing any white around the reset
button, press it back in and turn the
machine on.
2. On Elite models (EL0L-EL03, Pickle &
Pickle 2) the reset switch is located on the
front of the control panel.
3. (*When tripped the Reset Switch will
expose 1/16th of an inch of white on its
underbelly).
If the reset switch is not tripped and the machine still
does not turn on then go to Step 2
Reset Switch (EL0L-EL03,
Pickle & Pickle 2)
Step 2- Checking the Charger
1. Check the charger by plugging it into the
wall outlet (the LED on the charger itself
will light up green), and then connect it to
the XLR charging port on the machine. If
the LED on the charger does not light
up, or is flashing either Red or Green,
then the charger is faulty, and needs
to be replaced. The LED on the charger
should turn Red showing the battery is
charging. If the charger LED is still Green,
LED on charger Green light.

please move onto step 3 to check the Power wires,
and XLR charging wires.
LED on charger Red.
Step 3- Checking the Control Panel Power Wires
1. Unscrew the Control Panel, and pull it out
so it hangs by its wires. There should be a
black wire that connects to the Negative
section of the battery. From this wire
comes another black wire, this black wire
should connect to the ´´Bat Neg´´
(battery negative) section on the circuit
board (this is J33,J32,J30,J31). The red
wire coming from the battery should
connect the Reset Switch.

2. If you follow the XLR charging port wires
(this is where you connect your charger),
the black wire connects to the ´´Bat
Neg´´ (battery negative) section of the
circuit board (this is the J33,J32,J31,J30).

4. Check to make sure the XLR charging
wires are not loose (either on the circuit
board and reset switch where they
connect, or where they come out of the
XLR charging port). If the XLR charging
port is broken (meaning the wires coming
from the charging plug, not the ends that
connect to the panel and reset switch),
then a new E886 Charging Port Plug is
needed.
If the Power Wires are connected properly, and the
XLR port is secure, please move onto Step 4.

Step 4- Checking the Battery
1. If everything is secure and in its correct
place, then the final thing to check is the
battery itself. These batteries generally
last 2 to 3 years (on average), and require
to be charged once a month, and for no
more than 24 to 48 hours. If the battery is
beyond 3 to 4 years it is recommended to
purchase a new battery E881.
2. You can always take the battery to a
battery testing place (however this usually
tests only the battery´s capability to hold
a charge, and does not test the battery´s
health).
If the issue remains after getting a new battery, you
will need to contact Lobster Sports to obtain an RA
to send the machine into Lobster to get it checked.
