Default Vector Smart chargers

Gang,
I recently purchased a VEC 1092A from West and it charged a 12 volt bank of
gels fine. I then set it up for my other bank. I set it at 20 amps. After
about 5 minutes, the unit stepped down to "000" amps on the screen (verified
at the battery with my multimeter). I tried setting it at 10 amps and got
the same shut down but no "fault" lamps lit.
Figuring it may be the battery, I tried another bank (2 6 volt golf carts in
series) this time it bypassed the "000" stage and just died. No lights, no
nothing. I let is sit and it is still as dead as a doornail.
I know there was a long discussion about this unit on this site so I thought
I would ask.
thanks
