If your Schumacher Battery Charger doesn't turn on when properly connected to power, it could be because the battery is fully charged and doesn't need charging, especially if it was recently used in a vehicle. Alternatively, if the battery has less than 0.7 volts, try setting the charger to manual and retrying.
How to fix Schumacher Battery Charger that will not turn off?
If your Schumacher Battery Charger won't turn off, it could be due to a battery issue where it's not taking a full charge; in this case, have the battery checked. Also, if the charger is in MANUAL mode, try switching it to AUTOMATIC.
What to do if my Schumacher 520A-PE has no meter reading?
If your Schumacher Battery Charger shows no meter reading, there might be several reasons: * Ensure the charger is properly plugged in. * Check that the connections are not reversed; if they are, unplug the charger, reverse the clips, and reconnect, rocking them back and forth to ensure a good connection. * Clean the clips and battery poles to remove any dirt or corrosion that may be causing a poor electrical connection. Reconnect, again rocking the clips for a secure connection. * Verify that the AC outlet is functional by plugging in another device like a lamp. * The battery itself may be defective and unable to accept a charge. In this case, have the battery checked by a professional.
