    What to do if engine start does not work on Matco Tools MC1300 Automobile Battery Charger?
    • C
      Chelsea OrtizAug 3, 2025
      If the engine start function on your Matco Tools Automobile Battery Charger isn't working, it could be due to several reasons. First, cranking draws more current than the Engine Start rate, resulting in a crank time of less than 5 seconds. Second, you might not be waiting the required 3 minutes (180 seconds) between crank attempts; ensure you wait when the Engine Start LED blinks. Third, the charger might be overheating, so check that the vents are clear and wait before trying again. Finally, if the battery is severely discharged, try using the 50A Boost rate for 10 to 15 minutes before attempting to crank again.

      If your Matco Tools Automobile Battery Charger won't turn on even when properly connected, there are a few potential causes. First, the AC outlet you're using might not be working; check the fuse or circuit breaker. Second, there could be a poor electrical connection, so inspect the power cord and any extension cords for loose plugs. Finally, the battery itself might be defective, so consider having it checked by a professional.
