Christian,
As I suspected, you have the same charger and battery that I have.
Disconnect the charger from the battery and 240v supply.
Connect your DMM ( digital multimeter ) across the positive and negative alligator clips of the charger.
Make sure that the leads are not or will not short.
Switch the charger back on.
You aught to be getting at least 16 volts.
I suspect you will be getting zero or at least minimal voltage.
Do this only for testing.
If very low or zero volts, take it back to Bintel.
I do not use my similar Bintel charger for any more than a few hours as there is no documentation to suggest that it is a 3 stage charger, ( bulk, absorbption and float).
If I need to ensure that my battery is fully charged before an event, then I use my trusty 3.6 amp CTek that can be left on permanently if needed.

Steve
