If you are talking about the WM12 you will probably have to change the battery.

 

[dam it]

Is that on 240v or 12v ?

It may get do that on 12 volt.
Means your 12 volt battery power source is low.
But if you leave it on all night it should still charge detector battery, just slowly.

240 volt.

240 volt.

Mine does it on 12v if in the ute or van when engine not running, But in the caravan it's all good ( Bigger set up )
Never on 240v .
Maybe if Ya know someone with a 7000 try on their charger maybe your charger is having a moment ( George is attacking me for my Cup cake )
Just a thought .
George got half my cake & took off

Worsted case maybe your plug in the wall is dodgy .

It might have overheated, as it was on a hot day. It's been ok since then.

240 volt.

Try cleaning all the metal contacts (plugs, battery/charger contacts) with a cotton bud & isopropyl alcohol.
It could have overheated a bit, being a hot day, & the charger went into a slow charge to prevent it fully overheating + damaging the battery.
I believe the charger has safety circuits for various things like overcharging, overheating etc.
