What does 'bAD / bAt / F05' mean on my Schumacher DSR131 Battery Charger?
If the display on your Schumacher Battery Charger shows 'bAD / bAt / F05', it indicates that a lack of progress was detected after 12 hours in Maintain mode. This may be due to a drain on the battery, or the battery could be defective. Ensure there are no loads on the battery; if there are, remove them. If no loads are present, have the battery checked or replaced.
Why does engine start not work on my Schumacher DSR131 Battery Charger?
If your Schumacher Battery Charger's engine start function isn't working, consider these potential causes: * The current draw may exceed the Engine Start rate. * You might not be waiting the required 3 minutes (180 seconds) between crank attempts. * The charger could be overheated. * The battery might be severely discharged. To address this: * Keep in mind that crank time varies with current draw; higher draw reduces crank time. * Ensure the Engine Start LED stops blinking, indicating the 3-minute rest period is complete, before the next crank. * Check that the charger vents are not blocked and allow it to cool down. * For a severely discharged battery, try using the 50A Boost rate for 10-15 minutes to aid cranking.
