Know Your Charger; Charging Tips; Maintenance And Care - Schumacher SCF-2500A SpeedCharge Owner's Manual

Read this entire manual before using your charger. The items below are additional
features of your charger.
Fan: Your charger is equipped with a fan. It is normal for the fan to be on while the
charger is charging (as long as the voltage is above 9V). The fan is normally off at
other times but may cycle on and off due to temperature or other conditions. Keep
the area near the charger clear of obstructions to allow the fan to operate efficiently.
Read this entire manual before using your charger. The tips below serve only as a
guide for specific situations.
Reviving your battery: If you only wish
to charge your battery enough to
operate your vehicle; you don't need to
wait for the entire charging process to
be completed. When the charger
displays a battery % of 77 or more (see
page 14), the battery has usually been
charged enough for the vehicle to start
and operate normally.
A minimal amount of care can keep your battery charger working properly for years.
1. Clean the clamps each time you are finished charging. Wipe off any battery fluid
that may have come in contact with the clamps to prevent corrosion.
2. Coil the input and output cords neatly when storing the charger. This will help
prevent accidental damage to the cords and charger.
3. Occasional cleaning of the case of the charger with a soft cloth will keep the finish
shiny and help prevent corrosion.
4. Store the battery charger in a clean and dry location.

CHARGING TIPS

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Completing an interrupted charge: If
the charging process has been inter-
rupted and restarted after the charger
displays a battery % of 85 or more, the
charger could go straight to Maintain
Mode (see previous page). However, if
the original charge was started using
25A, the charge can often be completed
using the 2A rate.
