What to do if Schumacher Electric SC1309 engine start does not work?
If the engine start function on your Schumacher Electric Battery Charger isn't working, it could be due to several reasons: you might be drawing more current than the engine start rate allows, you might not be waiting the required 3 minutes (180 seconds) between cranking attempts, the charger may be overheating, or the battery may be severely discharged. * Crank time varies with the amount of current drawn. If cranking draws more than the Engine Start rate, crank time may be less than 5 seconds. * When the Engine Start LED blinks, wait 3 minutes of rest time before the next crank. * Ensure the charger vents are not blocked. Wait and try again. * For a severely discharged battery, use the boost rate for 10 to 15 minutes to assist with cranking.
