Q: No lights go on when plugged into several different outlets

4 months ago
1 Answer
  • A: If your Schumacher Battery Charger shows no lights even when plugged into a working outlet, it is likely because the unit requires a connection to a battery with at least 2.0V of charge to activate its safety sensors. Without detecting a minimum voltage from a battery, the charger will remain in a dormant state to prevent sparks or reverse polarity issues. Try connecting the clips to a viable battery; if the lights still do not illuminate, the unit may be defective and eligible for a return or exchange at your local Tractor Supply store.

Q: Does this charger charge maintenence free battery

a year ago
1 Answer
  • A: Maintenance-free batteries are also known as sealed lead-acid batteries (SLA) or valve-regulated lead-acid batteries (VRLA). AGM and gel cell batteries are the most common types of maintenance-free batteries. If your battery’s label lists it as an Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) or gel cell, you can safely use it with the Schumacher Farm and Ranch FR01536. The FR01536 is compatible with standard, AGM, gel, and deep-cycle batteries.

It worked great

2 months ago
For some reason I rarely used my lawn tractor over the winter, and this Spring the battery was dead. I bought this charger/maintainer, connected it to the battery, and it a couple hours it was fully charged.

Broken after 1 month

4 months ago
Bought this back sometime in December  and was working fine but then I unplugged it and went to a different plug in and now the power light doesn’t even come on. And yes there is power to the outlet because I had something else plugged into it and that one was working. Was really excited about this product but when it barely made it past 1 month and now doesn’t work, im very disappointed. Would bring it back to exchange but my 30 days are up.

I’m really sorry to hear that your Farm & Ranch FR01536 Battery Charger and Maintainer stopped working after just about a month. That’s definitely not the experience we want anyone to have, and I understand how frustrating it is—especially when it had been working fine before and now won’t even power on. Your unit is still under manufacturers warranty. Please call 800-621-5485 for assistance. We will be glad to replace it. schumacher

Stopped working after a few charges

4 months ago
Stopped entering maintenance mode after about a month once batteries were charged. Now it thinks that every single battery I try to charge is a "bad battery" despite them being fine and won't charge at all. At this point I wish I could just return it for a refund but tractor supply has a 30 day policy and I've had it a few months even though I've only used it a handful of times for my boat battery. Save your money.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Great charger / maintainer

I bought this exact unit a few years ago. Works perfect. And I went out and bought a new one today just so I can have two in the garage.

Yes, I recommend this product.
