🔋 Schumacher 12V 800mAh Fully Automatic Wall-Plug Battery Maintainer - Ideal for Car, Motorcycle, Lawn Tractor, Power Sport, Marine Batteries Review

Older models like this were really good machines, no failures. The new model is a lightweight offshore counterpart that is short-lived. I have three new models out of service that are still under warranty. Schumacher has not yet replaced the devices I sent them with receipts and an RMA number. I will no longer buy goods or services from Schumacher.

I have bought several of these over the years but only one has survived. But the one who survived is also a substitute for the deceased. They don't seem to have much longevity for more than a year or two. Went to another manufacturer (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CZ7KWP3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) Let's see how they are! But I cannot recommend Schumacher!

I'm disappointed that the battery cords are so short (12" max) and the power cord is also short. You can't charge the generator battery without using an extension cord (which the instructions don't recommend). Also, with those short cords, the charger just sits on the floor of my garage, although there are mounting holes for attaching it to the wall. Also, the charging cables have a full circle of connectors. That means you have to disconnect the battery cables, put a screw through the hole in…

Absolutely in love with this product, would recommend to anyone and will probably buy again! Batteries drain very quickly in winter and this shortens their overall lifespan, ESPECIALLY if the car sits a lot like mine did. Bought for a truck and it ran great and now it really keeps the battery in top condition. I installed an aftermarket safety system that drains the battery a little more than ever before so I use it now to prevent this and it works great! No problems yet and I love it! Every…

I had many failures with my SE-1-12S. Used it to charge the car when not in use for a long time. In order to bring the car to the inspection station, the air conditioner had to be disconnected from the unit. However, when I got to the inspection station and the guards there turned the car off and started it again, the battery was dead. Something similar has happened to me many times. I thought it was an electrical problem with the car, but after changing the battery, the same problem appeared…

This is a great little charger! I work from home so I only ride once a week and for the past year the battery has been slowly draining and not getting enough charge to recharge after short rides. This fixes that issue. They had a similar charger at the dealer for double the price! Neither my husband nor I know how to use it so someone else set it up for us, but if you have even the slightest know-how it should be pretty easy. We really had to add them to the cables because they are quite short…

I bought two SC1299 chargers to charge and service 12v lawn mower batteries. Charger #1 was initially faulty and maintained a fixed charge voltage of 14.6 on a fully charged battery. 14.6V is too much for a float considering it was outputting over 500mA. Charger #2 can function properly - it cycles on and off at about 5 minute intervals - at the beginning of the cycle the output voltage rises to 14.6 and then the device switches off allowing the battery to return to about 12.8 volts , before…

I used to change lawnmower batteries almost every spring due to the cold and inactivity. I put one of these on my lawnmower 5 years ago and I still have the same battery that runs flawlessly. I also made a cable to connect a second mower and it worked great. To update; I now have 5 of these things and they have never let me down. I just ordered 6th.Update; I have a power chair with a charger that will damage the batteries if left plugged in for more than 24 hours. I ordered 2 Schumacher…

Bought two Schumacher SE-1-12S in September 2013. -State version (heavyweight) since 2000. The 2000L model still fuels my alternator. However, I have one of the Schumacher SE-1-12S installed under my mower's seat. He did a great job and then passed away in April 2020. I installed the other under the hood of a truck that we never use. We never use this charger either. I think we've used it once or twice in the last 5 years. When I wanted to steal one for the truck, that didn't work either. I'm…

Spend more money. The smart app, setup process, and connection reliability are so poor that the smart features are unusable. At first the instructions are unclear, they seem like a bad translation. But to sum it up, you need to connect the device, register it and create an account as three separate tasks. Does an optimized installation really need that much in 2020? have an account Although for some reason it didn't need my first two confirmation emails, the third time was a charm. Registered…
