What to do if my Schumacher SC1306 Battery Charger has a short start cycle?
If you experience a short or no start cycle when cranking the engine with your Schumacher Battery Charger, several factors could be at play. Ensure the clamps are making a solid connection at both the battery and frame. Verify that the AC cord and any extension cords are securely plugged in. Check the AC outlet for power, ensuring no blown fuse or tripped breaker. Avoid exceeding the Engine Start Rate, as crank time varies with current draw.

If the battery is severely discharged, try using the 20A Boost setting for a few minutes to aid cranking.
