I installed a brand new one yesterday. 3 of the 4 banks connected properly and began charging shortly thereafter but bank #3 kept trying to go to the Lithium setup. I tried severl times to push the button to connect to the AGM battery mode but no luck. Banks 1,2,& 3 are 6 mo old AGM TM batteries. Bank 4 battery is AGM and attached to the big motor. I left it plugged in and checked it 2 hours later and it was flashing red on top with all 3 other (25%, 50%,75%) indicators a solid yellow. Checked it again 2/3 hours later and same thing so I unplugged it overnight. Plugged it back in this morning and checked it 2 hours later and the top two were flashing green and the 25% & 50% were solid yellow so I thought I had turned the corner. Checked it 2 hours later and it was back to the top one flashing red and all other 3 (25/50/75%) a solid yellow. Any ideas?

Swap it to another lead and see if the light follows, that bank could be bad on the charger. Could also be the battery)

I did a little googling, the were a few comments that the fuse holder wasn’t making great contact. If you swap leads and the red lights still on, squeeze the yellow fuse holder together/tighter and see if that light changes color. Seemed to happen a bit.

Just to be sure I called MK and they advised me to do exactly as you said so I did and sure enough the flashing light followed the lead so they said I have a bad lead or bank and to send it back. Sure do appreciate the help.
