What to do if engine start does not work on Schumacher SE-4020-CA?
If the Engine Start function on your Schumacher Battery Charger isn't working, several factors could be the cause. You might be drawing more than 200 amps, in which case the crank time may be less than 5 seconds. Ensure you wait a full 3 minutes between cranking attempts, especially if the Engine Start LED is blinking, to allow the thermal protector to reset. Check that the charger vents are not blocked, and give it some time to cool down. For a severely discharged battery, try using the Boost rate for 10 to 15 minutes before attempting to crank the engine again.
What to do if Schumacher Battery Charger cannot desulfate the battery?
If the Schumacher Battery Charger cannot desulfate the battery, the battery may not be recoverable through desulfation. Have the battery checked or replaced.
What to do if the battery voltage is still under 10V after charging with Schumacher SE-4020-CA?
If, after 2 hours of charging with your Schumacher Battery Charger, the battery voltage is still under 10V (for a 12V battery) or 5V (for a 6V battery), the battery could be bad. Have it checked or replaced.
What to do if Schumacher SE-4020-CA will not turn on?
If your Schumacher Battery Charger won't turn on even when properly connected, check the AC outlet for an open fuse or a tripped circuit breaker.
