If your Schumacher Electric Battery Charger is on but not charging, it might be in tester mode instead of charger mode. To fix this, press the CHARGE start button to activate charging and select a charge rate.
Why does the digital display always flash on my Schumacher Electric SC-8010A Battery Charger?
The digital display on your Schumacher Electric Battery Charger might flash before the battery is fully charged if the incorrect battery type was selected, or if the battery didn't reach full charge within 24 hours. This can happen with a very large battery or a bank of batteries needing more power than the charger can provide in 24 hours, or the battery may be faulty. To resolve this, reset the charger by briefly unplugging it or disconnecting the negative battery clip. Then, select the desired rate (SMALL or REGULAR BATTERY) and battery type again, if necessary.
What to do if indicator lights are lit erratically on Schumacher Electric SC-8010A Battery Charger?
If the indicator lights on your Schumacher Electric Battery Charger are lit erratically, you might have accidentally activated a special diagnostic mode, or the charger may be defective. Ensure nothing is touching the control panel, then unplug the charger and plug it in again. If the issue persists, return it to the place of purchase for a replacement.
