It does what it was made for BUT.

It's not designed for continuous use, which means you can't use it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week because the small fan inside will get louder over time before stopping completely. Aside from the selection buttons on the front of the charger, this is the only moving part. I bought it as a backup battery charger for continuous use, but after 6 months the fan started making noise. Last week, after the 1-year warranty expired, the fan stopped working at all, even though it was charged normally. Iโ€ฆ

Dad loves it! Best Tools & Equipment

Gave this to my dad - he loves it and uses it to save from death each of the cars the family does not use regularly. Definitely recommended as a father's gift to anyone whose father is skilled and likes to maintain his cars himself. Note for those who don't know anything about cars like me. From a non-driver's point of view, this is not a portable battery (it's a lot bigger/heavier). I originally thought it would be a portable battery for emergencies when you're stranded. no This is a CHARGERโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Outdated

A very NICE product indeed. I took out my car battery and after cleaning it a bit I charged it for a couple of hours. I checked the process between random intervals to see the battery voltage. I only hear the fan turn on twice at the very beginning and it was also pretty quiet. The device is abuse and abuse proof, so this should be the joy of our lives if we don't all start driving 100% EV. until 2020 laugh. I'm giving two thumbs up as the shipping was SUPER fast with delivery in less than 24โ€ฆ

  • Inspires confidence

Schumacher's confusing advice on this charger

Before purchasing this charger I had a lead acid car battery burn out due to maintenance work on my 10kW home generator system. The service technician said I should have an AGM battery, not lead acid. So I ordered an 850CCA AGM battery and was looking for an AGM charger to keep it in good condition. Was looking for a Revain AGM battery charger and settled on this Schumacher SC-600A 2-4-6 Amp. When the battery arrived today it said AGM on the packaging which reassured me that I had ordered theโ€ฆ

  • Good thing

  • Not bad but...

Superior charging technology for every battery type except lithium

Chargers need to top up a discharged battery with enough energy to not exceed the battery's capacity to accept a charge, so there are several charge rates to choose from. The charger also recognizes when the battery and charger are exhausted. correctly connected. Also, the charger will not charge a fully discharged battery. This can lead to a dangerous situation or an explosion. Also, the charger must be safe so that if the user is negligent, the charger will not lead to an unsafe conditionโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Many things

Auto Recharge - Easy to Use, Quiet

I am a practicing electronics engineer with over 20 years of experience. I didn't know much about chargers until recently when I was researching what a good modern charger should do. MY SUMMARY 1: I love this charger and think it performs well for its PRICE (11/27/12). The special gold box costs $25.25 + tax. (I would most likely buy it at the regular price of $31.65). Basically it's semi-automatic. You need to set the current, otherwise it will default to 2A. When I first used the charger, the

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks
