What to do if Schumacher SE-1275A Battery Charger will not turn ON?
If your Schumacher Battery Charger does not turn on when properly connected to power, it is possible that the battery does not need charging because it was recently used in a vehicle and is fully charged. If the battery is in the vehicle, turning on the headlights will lower the battery voltage in a few seconds, and the charger should then turn on.
What to do if Schumacher SE-1275A meter needle swings and clicks?
If the meter needle on your Schumacher Battery Charger moves to the extreme right, stays there briefly, returns to zero, and you hear a clicking sound, it could be due to several reasons. The battery might be severely discharged but otherwise in good condition, defective and unable to accept a charge, or the charger is cycling after a circuit breaking overload. Let the charging continue, so the battery recovers enough to take a charge. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle, and the needle will swing side to side until the battery recovers. Also, have the battery checked. Wait for the charger to automatically reset itself.
How to fix a Schumacher SE-1275A Battery Charger with no meter reading?
If your Schumacher Battery Charger shows no meter reading, there might be a few reasons: * The connections could be reversed, or there might be a poor electrical connection. Disconnect the charger, reverse the clips, and reconnect them, rocking them back and forth to ensure a good connection. Clean the clips and battery posts before reconnecting. * The AC outlet might not be working. Plug in a lamp or another appliance to check if the outlet has voltage. * The battery might be defective and unable to accept a charge. Have the battery checked.
Why does the Schumacher Battery Charger needle pulse after hours?
If the meter needle on your Schumacher Battery Charger pulses or fluctuates every few seconds AFTER THREE HOURS without slowing down, it could be due to a few reasons: * Two or more batteries are connected in parallel. * The battery is a large 200 ampere hours or larger. * The battery is connected to an application that draws a small current, such as an autodome light. Do not parallel charge. Because it requires more time to charge, continue charging.
