Trying to charge over night I found the unit with a flashing amber LED both in the dash and on the charger next to the lh front wheel. 

The first error code I got was E038 on the charger with my next attempt I got E013.  The battery is not being charged.

E013 is an issue with loose connection or an external device interfering with charging. 
got same with mine but can’t see any loose wires or connections and no other device has been installed. 

have emailed manufacturer of charger with details and data log from charger. 
 

did you resolve it?

'E013 - Charger Output Current NotAccepted - Battery voltage is detected but the charger is unable to output current. This is normally caused by an electrical device connected between the charger and the battery which passes through voltage but not current.  Poor connections can also cause this.  Ensure the charger is properly connected to approved equipment. This error will automatically clear once the charger is reset by cycling DC or AC'.

Suggest you check all the cabling back to the main connections to the battery pack. They are under the central hoop under the seat look for the connector with the plastic block and two leads, thats one of the charge cables. The second lead  is the temp sensor lead in that plastic  block. But check all the battery connections. Also check under the cover of the Delta Q charger on the right (passenger side ) side are all the wire connections take off the cover (two torx screws) and then carefully check the tightness of the torx screws holding the two larger charge leads . Its easier to take the front wheel off than simply inserting your head between the wheel and the front arch.

Took off the small cover on charger and cables look ok and were all tight. 
however, decided to add another pos cable to bypass current pos cable from charger to battery as a test before I dismantled for warranty testing/return and it worked, now charging and no fault. 
The Pos/Neg charger cables seem too small a gauge for the current (3-4mm?) going through them.  I’m going to upgrade the charging harness to 6mm to stop overheating and cable breakdown. 
Thanks for your advice. Are you Hisun EV support or independent?

There was a loose connection on the front battery, second row from the left. On the same row one battery back there is a connection with a (former) 30 amp fuse holder. That connection on the battery was not completely tightened. But the fuse holder cap was unusually bulged and the cap fused to the body. Further investigation revealed that the fuse inside was completely melted and disintegrated. I am going to fix that and hope that this will resolve the problem. It definitely looks like all your comments are correct. Thanks to everybody!

The cable for the charger DC side  is normally quite adequate. You will struggle to get larger in to the housing easily. Dont solder only crimp. If you cant crimp get someone who can. And you will need to ensure the negative side has the temp sensor connection.

Im not  connected to Hisun, but I do Hisun E1 Li Ion conversions in the UK. So see them on an almost constant basis.

I’d love to convert mine to Lithium batteries. 
I think I’ve read one of your posts a few years ago where you said it’s actually not that difficult, just time consuming. You mentioned changing an algorithm in the battery controller or charger from memory? Apart from physically fitting the batteries, is that about it?

All new steel and ally battery enclosures, all new battery / connection cabling,  New loom for the Battery management / Vehicle interface/ charger, new small display, New algorithm on the Charger, re programe the Sevcon , New rear arch cover sections to reduce crud. New mains inlet and relay box in the front compartment. So not a lot , just takes me about 4 days start to finish  with all the parts ready made and in stock.  Some photos on my EV Support Facebook page   https://www.facebook.com/EVSupportUK

      Hisun Sector e1 Battery replacement: any tips?
      By didgeridoo
      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!

      Coleman UT400 - 6v or 12v battery?
      By Rainman
      I want to put a charger/maintainer for my Coleman UT400 for the winter and need to know if it uses a 6v or 12v battery.
      One search online showed a 6v, but another stated 12v..
      I can look at the battery, but after taking the seat out you cannot see the top of the battery without also removing the top plate under the seat and at 8 degrees outside, I'd rather not be out there too long.
      Can anyone verify what volt (6 or 12) the batter is?
      Thanks in advance ...

      Question about the Delta-Q charger
      By Kingfish
      I have done a LiPo4 battery upgrade on my E1.  I have reprogrammed the charge profile to #386.  With the onboard BMS the controller cuts off all charge from the IC1200 when the battery reaches 100% to prevent overcharge.  When this happens the charger begins flashing the yellow light and displays the error code 013 which is telling me the battery is no longer accepting a charge input which is as it should be.  I hear a relay switching in and out every few seconds as the charger continues to try to reach the shutoff charge profile voltage.  My question is will it cause any harm to the IC1200 to stay in this state for hours or maybe even days if I don't get out to unplug it?  I used to leave the E1 plugged in all the time with the old Discover batteries.

      UT400 First Oil Change Overfull Milk Chocolate What to Check
      By Homeowner A
      Picked up an essentially new 2022 UT400 with 9 miles on it.  Decided to change the oil because it's probably never been done.  Pulled the dipstick and noticed it was overfull then went and pulled the drain plug and took off the filter and it was like brown water running out.  What should I start checking?

      2023 t-boss 550 belt slipping and found oil in belt housing
      By Cory J
      Belt started slipping when I used it in high gear. It works okay in low unless I'm trying to power it up a hill and then it slips.., Ordered a new belt and went to change it and found a good bit of oil in the belt housing. Has anyone experienced this? Belt looks fine. Only have 300 miles on this thing..
