  If the charging LED on your Snap-On Battery Charger is flashing, it indicates that the charger has stopped in one of the charge modes or that the battery is bad. The charger cannot complete the charge. It is recommended to have the battery checked and replaced if necessary. Disconnect the charger from the AC outlet and remove the clamps.

Why does my Snap-On Battery Charger engine start not work?
- B
  brianwattsAug 16, 2025
  If the engine start function on your Snap-On Battery Charger isn't working, consider these potential causes: * **Excessive Current Draw:** If the vehicle is drawing more than 300 amps (6V/12V) or 250 amps (24V), the crank time may be reduced. * **Insufficient Rest Time:** Ensure you wait 3 minutes between cranks. When the Engine Start LED blinks, wait the full rest time before attempting the next crank. * **Overheated Charger:** The thermal protector may have tripped. Ensure the charger vents are not blocked. Wait for it to reset and try again. * **Severely Discharged Battery:** For a severely discharged battery, use the 60A Rapid rate for 10 to 15 minutes to assist in cranking.

  If your Snap-On Battery Charger display shows no reading or 0.0V, there are several possible causes and solutions: * **Poor Connection:** Check the clamps for a secure connection at both the battery and the frame. Ensure the connecting points are clean. * **Loose AC Cord:** Verify that the power cord and any extension cords are firmly plugged in. * **No Power:** Check the AC outlet for an open fuse or a tripped circuit breaker. * **Reversed Polarity:** Ensure the battery clamps are connected with the correct polarity. Verify and reverse if necessary.

  Natalie BryantAug 31, 2025
  If your Snap-On Battery Charger is making a clicking noise, here are some possible causes: * **Circuit Breaker Cycling:** The circuit breaker may be cycling due to high capacity operation. Stop the operation by pressing the START/STOP button and allow the unit to cool down before resuming. * **Defective Battery:** Have the battery checked. * **Shorted Battery Clamps:** Inspect the cables for shorts and replace them if needed. * **Severely Discharged Battery:** Allow charging to continue, so the battery has a chance to recover. If the clicking continues for more than 20 minutes, stop charging and have the battery checked. * **Reversed Connections:** Ensure the lead connections are correctly placed on the battery.

What does “SUL” mean on my Snap-On Battery Charger display?
- K
  Kylie GambleSep 7, 2025
  If your Snap-On Battery Charger displays “SUL”, it indicates that the battery is sulfated. A sulfated battery may eventually recover if left connected. The charger will continue to charge with a low current for up to 10 hours to recover the battery. If the battery does not take a charge after 10 hours, have it checked.
