If the battery doesn't charge, then the battery most likely will need a replacement!

It is more or less automatic once you have connected it up to the mains supply and to the car and selected the correct settings using the mode button.
Make sure of the following....
Car symbol is lit up yellow light.
AGM mode symbol is lit up yellow light.
There are 8 stages. 1 to 6 (amber/yellow) followed by 7 green. Not sure what #8 is.
You cannot do any damage as it is microprocessor controlled.
I cannot give you a length of time it takes to charge up. It might have to go through a conditioning charge. You will have to see. Once the light for setting 7 is reached it should be good to go. I just checked mine and it is still on setting 4. It can take quite a while as it senses what it needs to do.
I use mine a lot in the winter. In the summer I never use it.
Edited. Went to check mine this morning and is was on #7 and green light.
