INTRODUCTION
BATTERY CHARGER PLUS
Thank you for purchasing your new Snap-on Battery
Charger plus.
The EEBC500-INT is an advanced, full featured battery
charger with additional functions that make it a battery
service system.
The charger utilizes a microprocessor, controlling both the
voltage and current going to the battery, providing maximum
power and the precise control needed to charge the various
types of 6 (3 cell), 12 (6 cell) and 24 (12 cell) volt batteries
on the market today; including AGM, GEL, Sealed Lead
Acid, Deep Cycle, Spiral-Cell and Standard Automotive
batteries up to 155 Ah capacity, reducing charge times while
maximizing battery life.
Engine Starting Power
The microprocessor is the heart of the multistage charging
algorithm built into the EEBC500-INT. Microprocessor
based charging technology achieves an extremely versatile
charging algorithm, and provides a user friendly set of
controls and an easy to read digital display (voltage, % of
charge, alternator % of performance). The versatility allows
many different battery types to be charged.
Flash Reprogramming Power Supply
Provides a consistent power at the OEM specied
voltage (user entered) to allow for uninterrupted ash
reprogramming of vehicle’s computers or to retain vehicle
system settings.

    Why is there no reading on the Snap-On PLUS display or the “Connected” LED is not on?
    • S
      Susan NelsonJul 28, 2025
      If your Snap-On Battery Charger display shows no reading or the “Connected” LED is off, begin by checking the clamps for a secure connection at both the battery and frame, ensuring these points are clean. Next, verify that the AC cord and any extension cords are properly connected. Check the power receptacle for an open fuse or tripped circuit breaker. Finally, confirm that the battery clamps are connected with the correct polarity.

    What to do if Snap-On PLUS is connected correctly but charging is not taking place?
    • E
      Emma PerezAug 2, 2025
      If your Snap-On Battery Charger is connected correctly but not charging, the battery may be severely discharged. If the battery voltage is very low (one volt or less), switch to the Manual mode for a few minutes until charging begins, then switch back to Automatic mode at the desired charge rate.

    Why is the “Charging” LED flashing on my Snap-On PLUS?
    • M
      Martin LarsonAug 6, 2025
      If the “Charging” LED is flashing on your Snap-On Battery Charger, the battery may be sulfated. A sulfated battery should eventually accept a normal charge 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 charge after 10 hours, have it checked.

    What to do if the Snap-On PLUS has a short or no start cycle when cranking engine?
    • K
      Kevin GomezAug 11, 2025
      If you experience a short or no start cycle when cranking the engine with your Snap-On Battery Charger, several factors could be at play. Ensure you wait three minutes between cranks, or until the display reads ??? and the Charging LED is on. Check for poor connections at the battery and frame, ensuring connecting points are clean. Also, verify that the power cord and extension cord are securely plugged in and that the receptacle has power by checking the fuse or circuit breaker. If the charger has overheated, allow time for the internal thermal protector to reset. For a severely discharged battery, charge for 10 to 15 minutes in the 15 amp manual rate to help assist in cranking.

    Why is my Snap-On PLUS making a clicking noise?
    • M
      Megan Mooney MDAug 16, 2025
      A clicking noise from your Snap-On Battery Charger can indicate several issues. In manual mode, it could mean the circuit breaker is cycling, suggesting incorrect settings. The battery might be defective and should be checked. Also, inspect the battery clamps for shorts and replace if necessary. If the battery is severely discharged but otherwise good, allow charging to continue. Finally, verify and correct the lead connections if they are reversed.

    Why does the display reading stay high on my Snap-On Battery Charger?
    • M
      Ms. Bridget WilsonAug 22, 2025
      If the display reading on your Snap-On Battery Charger remains high, it could be due to a severely discharged battery; in this case, continue charging the battery for an additional two hours. Alternatively, ensure that the BATTERY VOLTAGE switch is correctly set for the appropriate voltage (6V, 12V, or 24V).
