| Schumacher 520A-PE Troubleshooting Guide | ||
| The battery charger is designed to work automatically. However, if a problem does occur, check the following: | ||
| PROBLEM | POSSIBLE CAUSE | SOLUTION |
| No meter reading | Charger is not plugged in. | Plug the charger in. |
| Connections are reversed. | With charger unplugged, reverse clips and reconnect (rock back and forth to bite in). | |
| Poor electrical connection | Clean clips and battery poles and reconnect (roll back and forth to bite in). | |
| AC outlet is dead. | Plug in a known working lamp to check for voltage. | |
| Battery is defective (will not accept charge). | Have battery checked. | |
| Charger will not turn on (when properly connected to power). | battery recently used in vehicle and is fully charged. | Battery does not need charging. |
| (If battery is in vehidle turning on headlights will lower battery voltage in a few seconds and charger should turn on.) | ||
| Battery has less than 0.7 volts set to manual and retry | ||
| Charger will not turn OFF. | Battery has problem and will not take full charge. | Have battery checked.(if in MANUAL, switch to AUTOMATIC) |
| Ammeter needle pulses (fluctuates) every few seconds AFTER THREE HOURS without slowing down. | Two or more batteries connected in parallel. | Requires more time to charge: continue charging. |
| Battery of 200 ampere hours or larger | Requires more time to charge: continue charging. | |
| Battery is connected to application that draws a small current (such as an auto dome light). | Requires more time to charge: continue charging. | |
| Charging current is less than full output rating of charger. | Battery is partially charged. | Continue charging. |
| Battery is defective (battery plates are crusted) and will not accept a full charge. | Have checked and replace battery. | |
| AC power supply is low | Plug charger into another grounded AC outlet. | |
| Ammeter needle moves to extreme right, remains a short time, then returns to zero, accompanied by a clicking sound. | Severely discharged battery (but otherwise good battery). | Allow charging to continue until battery has recovered suffieiently to take a charge (Circuit breaker will dontinue to cycle and needle will swing side to side until battery has recovered). |
| In MANUAL with battery connections reversed. | Unplug charger and change to correct connections. | |
| Battery is defective (will not accept charge). | Have battery checked. | |
| Charger is cycling after circuit breaker overload. | Wait until charger automatically resets itself. (DO NOT RETURN FOR SERVICE) | |

When a battery is very cold, partially charged or sulfated, it will not draw the full rated amperes from the charger. It is both dangerous and damaging to a battery to force higher amperage into it than it can effectively use in recharging.
