My 9" coil will not take a charge, but put clip on my 13X11" coil and charger works like it should. There are very few hours on machine,

Anyone had a problem with coil not charging?

Take a really careful look at the cover, pins etc. I have to wiggle mine around sometime to get the charge light to come on. It is a fairly frail set up. I wold think you can make it work on the smaller coil if you get it to work on any at all. Wouldn't hurt to wipe the contacts off on the coil with some alcohol or something to make sure there isn't a film over the contacts. Let us know how it works out. I bet it is something simple.

Be very careful with wiggling the clip!!!
Those little pins are fragile and will bend and/or break.
Always push the clip straight down onto the coil.
Make sure the coil cover is on straight and fully seated.
I'm sure that if you can charge the large coil than you know the right orientation of the clip.
It takes a little while for my coil to register that it is in change mode, so I hook mine up and wait for a bit to make sure it switches modes.
Only clean your charging pins and buttons with Q tips and alcohol. No rubbing!
Maybe I'm over careful, but I don't want to miss a chance to hunt without a charge in the coil.
Hope some of this is helpful.

Seen on occasions in German forums, that the contacts on the charger clip were bent.
Another possibility is dirt or corrosion on the contact points of the coil.
For me it's usually that in first attempt the clip was not contacting fully.

Tried everything suggested, did not work new clip on the way. Hope this works.
