Centaur charger does not switch to float

My Centaur 24/40 charges 12 2V units and has suddenly stopped switching to "Float" and only charges "Bulk" to the maximum of about 28.5V at about 6Amp. Any ideas? Can it be fixed?

My understanding is that the Centaur Charger is a "classic" (i.e. dumb) 3-step charger which has a fixed absorption time of 4 hours. You should wait at least 4 hours before checking the voltage again. If it still has absorption voltage say at 5 hours, then it's definitely not switching to float.
