    Why is the red LED lit on my Schumacher Media Converter?

      The red LED on your Schumacher Media Converter might be on due to several reasons: * The battery voltage could be below 10.5 volts, in which case you should recharge or replace the battery. * The equipment you're using might be drawing too much power. Try using a higher capacity converter or avoid using this equipment with the current converter. * The converter may be too hot, causing a thermal shutdown. Allow the converter to cool, ensure it has adequate ventilation, and reduce the load to the rated continuous power output.

      If your Schumacher Media Converter has low or no output voltage, it could be due to poor contact at the terminals. Disconnect and then reconnect the 12V connections. Another cause might be using the incorrect type of voltmeter; use a true RMS reading meter to test the output voltage.
