6. When charging is complete, disconnect
the negative clamp, and finally the
positive clamp.
7. A marine (boat) battery must be removed
and charged on shore.
NOTE: This charger is equipped with an
auto-start feature. Current will not be
supplied to the battery clamps until a battery
is properly connected. The clamps will not
spark if touched together.
BATTERY CHARGING TIMES
Times are based on a 50% discharged
battery and may change, depending on age
and condition of battery.
AUTOMATIC CHARGING MODE
When an Automatic Charge is performed,
the charger switches to the maintain mode
automatically after the battery is charged.
ABORTED CHARGE
If charging cannot be completed normally,
charging will abort. When charging aborts,
the charger's output is shut off and the
CHARGING (yellow/orange) LED
will flash. The digital display will show an
error code (see the Troubleshooting section
for a description of the error codes). To
reset after an aborted charge, unplug the
charger from the AC outlet, wait a few
moments and then plug it back in.
DESULFATION MODE
Desulfation could take 8 to 10 hours.
If desulfation fails, charging will abort and
the CHARGING
will flash.
COMPLETION OF CHARGE
Charge completion is indicated by the
CHARGED (green) LED. When lit, the
charger has switched to the maintain mode
of operation.
MAINTAIN MODE
(FLOAT-MODE MONITORING)
When the CHARGED
the charger has started maintain mode. In this
mode, the charger keeps the battery fully
charged by delivering a small current when
necessary. If the charger has to provide its
maximum maintain current for a continuous
12 hour period, it will go into abort mode (see
(yellow/orange) LED
(green) LED is lit,
Aborted Charge section). This is usually
caused by a drain on the battery or the battery
could be bad.
MAINTAINING A BATTERY
The XC75, XC75W, XC103 and XC103W
charge and maintain both 6 and 12 volt
batteries.
NOTE: The maintain mode technology utilized
in Schumacher maintainers allows you to
safely charge and maintain a healthy battery
for extended periods of time. However,
problems with the battery, electrical problems
in the vehicle, improper connections or other
unanticipated conditions could cause
excessive current draws. As such,
occasionally monitoring your battery and
the charging process is required.
USING THE ENGINE START FEATURE
Your battery charger can be used to jump
start your car if the battery is low. Follow all
safety instructions and precautions for
charging your battery. Wear complete eye
protection and protective clothing.
WARNING: Using the ENGINE START
feature WITHOUT a battery installed in the
vehicle could cause damage to the vehicle's
electrical system.
NOTE: If you have charged the battery and
it still will not start your car, do not use the
Engine Start feature, or it could damage the
vehicle's electrical system. Have the battery
checked.
