If your Schumacher Battery Charger won't turn on even when properly connected to power, the battery may already be fully charged from recent driving. In this case, the battery doesn't need charging. Try turning on the headlights for a few seconds to lower the battery voltage, which should then allow the charger to turn on.
How to fix Schumacher SE-70MA cycling after overload?
If your Schumacher Battery Charger is cycling after a circuit breaking overload, wait until the charger automatically resets itself.
What to do if my Schumacher SE-70MA Battery Charger has no meter reading?
If your Schumacher Battery Charger shows no meter reading, it could be due to reversed connections or a poor electrical connection. Ensure the charger is unplugged, then reverse the clamps and reconnect them, rocking them back and forth to ensure a good connection. Also, clean the clamps and battery posts before reconnecting. Check the AC outlet by plugging in a lamp or another appliance to see if it's working. The battery might be defective and unable to accept a charge, so have it checked by a professional.

If the meter needle on your Schumacher Battery Charger moves to the extreme, it indicates a severely discharged battery. Allow charging to continue until the battery recovers sufficiently to take a charge.
What to do if my Schumacher Battery Charger will not turn OFF?
If your Schumacher Battery Charger will not turn off, it may indicate that the battery has a problem and is not taking a full charge. In this case, have the battery checked by a professional.
Why does the meter needle pulse on my Schumacher SE-70MA?
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 charging two or more batteries connected in parallel, using a battery of 200 ampere-hours or larger, or the battery is connected to an application that draws a small current (like an interior light). Avoid parallel charging and allow more time to charge.
