To Next PageTo Next PageWhy Schumacher Electric XC6 Battery Charger was unable to keep the battery fully charged in maintain mode?
The charger might fail to keep the battery fully charged in maintain mode if there's a drain on the battery or if the battery is bad. Ensure there are no loads on the battery; if present, remove them. If there are no loads, have the battery checked or replaced.
What to do if the Schumacher Electric XC6 Battery Charger connected light is not on?
If the connected light is not on, it may indicate an incorrect battery connection. Check for poor connections to the battery and the frame. Ensure the connection points are clean. Rock the clips back and forth to achieve a better connection.
What to do if Schumacher Electric XC6 Battery Charger will not turn on when properly connected?
If the charger doesn't turn on when properly connected, the AC outlet might be dead, or there could be a poor electrical connection. Check the fuse or circuit breaker supplying the AC outlet. Also, inspect the power cord and any extension cords for loose plugs.
What to do if Schumacher Electric XC6 CHARGING light is blinking?
A blinking CHARGING light indicates the charger is in abort mode, possibly due to a faulty battery. This can occur if the battery doesn't reach full charge within 48 hours, potentially because it's a very large battery or a bank of batteries needing more power than the charger can provide in that time. To resolve this, reset the charger by unplugging it. Then, if needed, re-select the desired CHARGE RATE and BATTERY TYPE.
What to do if Schumacher Electric XC6 Battery Charger connections to the battery are reversed?
If the connections to the battery are reversed because the battery is connected backwards, unplug the charger and reverse the connections to the battery.
What to do if the Schumacher Electric XC6 Battery Charger indicator lights are lit erratically?
If the indicator lights are lit in an erratic manner, not explained in the Operating Instructions, it may be because a button was pressed while the charger was being plugged in. Ensure nothing is touching the control panel, then unplug the unit and plug it in again.
What to do if Schumacher Electric XC6 was unable to reach the “full charged” voltage?
If the battery doesn't reach the “full charged” voltage, it could be due to charging a large battery or battery bank with too low of a current setting, or the battery may have a shorted cell. Try again using a higher current setting, or have the battery checked or replaced.
What to do if the Schumacher Electric XC6 charged light turns on too quickly?
If the CHARGED light illuminates shortly after connecting the battery, the battery may already be fully or recently charged, resulting in a high voltage reading. Alternatively, the battery might be faulty (sulfated). If the battery is in a vehicle, turn on the headlights for a few minutes to lower the battery voltage and attempt charging again. Also, try selecting a lower CHARGE RATE. A sulfated battery may eventually accept a charge with continued charging over a few hours. If this doesn't work, have the battery inspected or contact customer service.
What to do if Schumacher Electric XC6 battery voltage is still under 10V?
If, after two hours of charging, the battery voltage remains below 10V for a 12V battery or 5V for a 6V battery, it could be because you're attempting to charge a 6-volt battery using the 12-volt setting, or the battery itself might be defective. In this case, have it checked or replaced.
