You can’t go wrong with the Schumacher Battery ChaThe battery charger is very easy to use. Cuts itself off when charge is complete and will not start if it is not connected right. In other words, it’s got your back!

Great Deep Cycle Charger -Easy to UseWhile slightly confusing the first time you use it, the charger is pretty much automatic and does a great job. You just need to select what type of deep cycle battery you have. It will even begin automatically. I had a deep cycle which wouldnt even take a charge, and it automatically went into a repair mode. The next morning the battery was fixed and fully charged. This charger will maintain a battery as well if you leave it connected. I really like this charger.

Schumacher Battery ChargersOrdered 2; 1 for my husband, the other for my Son-in-law. Had bought one of the more expensive ones (different brand) from Harbor Freight for my son-in-law last year. My husband has a Shumacher over 30-years ago and it is still works great. He had requested a new one that had trickle down charging after the battery was fully charged for over at the boat dock. He will use his old one here at the house. If this one lasts like his original one, it will be fabulous charger! I highly recommend the Shumacher brand.

Impressive smart chargerI just finished charging 6 – 6volt golf cart batteries! Each took 6-10 hrs each, but each one I know now are in good shape at 100% with max volts! The factory 36v charger is fine, but it doesn’t charge each one or tell if one is weak! You could also charge 2 at a time using the 12v, which charger would read automatically! It also tells you if your battery is bad! Hard to beat!

Simple to Use and Works GreatHad a dead battery so figured we would invest in a charger and glad we did. This charger was able to charge our battery in our Trailblazer from 1 amp to full charge in about 3 hours. I did have a issue in the beginning with it showing a full charge after only about 40 minutes but after disconnecting the power and reconnecting it, it worked find. Very easy to use and never got hot or warm. I would recommend this charger for the price and ease of use.

Works Great, No Confusion, Speeds Up ChargeVery happy with this so far. I can see what is happening. The 15 amp charge speeds things up. Bad battery notification worked. Charged a couple others for fun, all good. I had a cheap 4 amp one from a place and returned it. I did not know what was going on.

Schumacher/WalmartGood battery charger maintainer. Displays voltage and percentage of charge.
I’ve purchased about 12 of these over a period of 3 years, but i have had one stop working recently that I’ve had only a few weeks.
i ordered most of them on line, but I’m going to ask for a refund at my local Walmart. If they do whats right, I will purchase more over time.

It’s worth the money and mental grief of not beingI used a Schumacher charger that I borrowed from a neighbor. At first I thought it wasn’t working properly. But it became evident that it was just a slow learner. And it took a full 12 hours for the battery to charge the battery, which was quite dead. It saved me a towing. And was so efficient that I bought my own since I have a pickup that sits for quite a while of the time.

Minus zero from a reliable product to CRAP.I bought it new plugged it in and did not charge more than 5% before shutting off by itself. I was not hooked up to a battery just charging on its own. Could not get it to charge more than 5% It was in a cool ventilated area. They dont make them like they use to.
