30 of 30 people found the following review helpful.I have been using this charger for a while now and am very pleased with it. Its a new generation smart charger and is by far superior to the normal chargers of previous years. It will quickly charge everything from my RV and vehicle batteries to small motorcycle and ATV batteries. It is a microprocessor controlled intelligent multistage charger which starts charing at a higher rate of current and then will pause occasionally for 20 seconds to check to see how well the battery is charging and then resume charging once again. It will continue this process, periodically reducing the current until the battery is charged to 100%. Then it changes to float mode and will continue to monitor the battery and will charge it at a low level when necessary to keep the battery at 100%. The display shows the current battery voltage and the charge percentage (no current display). No current display seemed lacking at first but the percentage of charge level has turned out to be a much more useful tool and one that I have actually come to prefer. Keeping your batteries charged is important to making your batteries last a long time as an even partially discharged battery will slowly sulfate (which is what causes batteries to quit working).This charger has a desulfate mode and if it senses your battery is sulfated and not taking a proper charge it will automatically engage. I have not tested this function nor have I extensively used the start function.Another positive feature that most smart chargers do not have is the ability to engage and charge a battery that is almost dead. This charger will engage and charge a battery that is as low as .1 volts. Most smart chargers while not charge a normal car battery that is below 6-8 volts. (Very inconvenient if you accidentally left something on and ran the battery completely dead) I bought this charger to fast charge my RV batteries (while dry camping) when running off a generator. It testing it charges them at least 2-3 times faster than the normal onboard RV charger/inverter and quickly takes the batteries to 100% (in just hours) rather than requiring an entire day like most onboard chargers. Another plus is that this charger is small compact and weighs in at just a little over 10 Lbs. I tend to research things to death before I buy them and this charger continues to seem to be the right choice. If you should have questions you can email me at TeamFamilyAffair@hotmail.com-Scott
11 of 12 people found the following review helpful.So I've been neglecting one of my cars. Haven't driven it much because well, it's old and doesnt have a/c OR heater. Had to move it and found out the batteries dead. Jumped it so I could move the car. Drove it for 30 minutes and all was well because it started fine... Until i had to move it again. I looked into getting a trickle charger but it would be just too slow. I settled on this one because of the brand name and the features.Got it fast via Amazon Prime 2-day but it took a couple tries to get the darn thing to charge. It must have been discharged for a long time because batteries that are left discharged for a long time will get "sulfated" and not be able to recharge/hold a charge.The schumacher thought it was charging a 95% charged battery because of the sulfation. It took a couple of tries and fiddling with the headlights while this thing was connected to get a good 2A desulfating charge (blinking charging light) from a low%. It may blink bad bat a couple times but that means you should just try again. My battery got progressively better and eventually got back up to 100%.I now have a revived car battery and a fast charger than can float/trickle charge if needed.
6 of 6 people found the following review helpful.Very satisfied. It operates as advertised. The only negative comment would be that the post clamps are notreal strong and are small.
