Schumacher Electric 6V / 12V Battery Charger & Engine Starter - Fully Automatic Battery Maintainer & Charger for AGM & Standard Batteries - SC1308

Operates as designed for my year of ownership at this point. I keep it for jumpstarting and battery maintenance on an rv, 2 boats, a side by side, and 2 trucks. Haven't had it even so much as heat up more than a couple degrees above ambient in all weather conditions. I don't recommend throwing it around but it appears pretty sturdy considering as much abuse as it's taken.

Working very well for my needs of charging totally dead golf cart six volt batteries in sequence. Sturdy item.

High quality charger. Automatically chooses the battery type. The digital readout is nice. I really like seeing the percentage readout. I docked one star bc there isn't a good way to manage the cables and power cord. I wish they would add some type of built in cord wrap or something. Other than that, no additional complaints.

I couldn't be more pleased. Charges different types of batteries. Easy to use and high quality! GREAT!

great battery charger, easy to use

I bought this 3 years ago, the first one that amazon shipped to me ended up being a used dirty scratched up unit that didn't work right, it was suppose to be a new unit. Amazon returned it and shipped me this unit, it looked new but the box didn't have a user manual. The first time I used it on my car battery it seemed to function right, it went right to work and even did the recondition function and after it was finished charging it turned off. The next time I used it on the same battery it charged the battery but never would turn off, the battery % button wouldn't work either, never really knew if the battery was completely charged or not. Now it's 8/24 and I put the charger on my camper battery bank four 6volt batteries wired as one 12volt battery. At first it went to work but seemed to be working to hard, so I broke the battery bank in half, charging just two 6volt batteries as one 12volt but the charger still worked to hard, the cables and clamps got hot. The charger never turned off but it did charge the batteries. I then hooked it up to the other set and it didn't do much, the cooling fan came on as soon as it was plugged in but it was not charging, panel lights were on but nothing, it's dead. Used 3 times and that's it. Schumacher used to be a great quality product but not anymore. My unit shows it was made in Mexico, not in the USA. Of course it's out of warranty. Not happy in the least.

Great purchase works as advertised

I just used it to start a Motoped that had a dead battery. Battery is holding its charge. I believe this was a return unit as the box was double taped on the lid. Charger appeared to be missing any packing such as a plastic bag. None of the cables had ties. They were loose in the box. No foamcore protection? Charger was loose and moving in the box. Sticker on the backside was falling off for some reason IDK why. It does work though, and it's not beat up. I plan on keeping it.
