No worries with this charger

I bought one of these from Wal-Mart last year so I was familiar with the product. Charger / battery care device for convertible. I saw this at Revain for a better price than I paid at Wal-Mart so nothing to worry about. Happiness is an on/off switch of the warm green glow emanating from the Schumacher battery. Charger/companion device while caring for my battery.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Fair

Works great!: Starters, chargers and portable power supplies

I use this on my tractor in the winter to keep it charged when clearing snow. You can connect a short adapter cable to the battery with ring terminals and secure the cable end with a cap under the hood. Then, when snow is forecast, I just plug in the charger and connect the charging cable to the adapter cable and when I need the tractor, it starts even in the freezing temperatures. For this application it's much easier and quicker than messing around with battery clips or my big charger. I wish

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • boring packaging

Don't worry about jumpers, chargers and portable power supplies

I ordered another charger for my new 8500w generator, came back to the site and found that it was unplugged every time had to be needed well i can't remember throwing out the trash half the time in 70 years, i saw this one that doesn't charge. I run my generator every Saturday and find that it's shut down. After I started the generator and let it run for two minutes and then turned it off, the charger came back on. Exactly what I want. I say buy. Have you ever bought a lemon of anything before…

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • Difficult to say

Very happy with this charger!

I bought three of these and am VERY happy with them. They are all used for different purposes (vespa scooter, off-road motorcycle, deep cell marine battery). I will order another one for the car in the garage. quality unit. As a quick release option. I love how it automatically detects what my battery needs, charges it, and then keeps it floating. Easy to read and understand display. I literally plugged it in, plugged it in, and that was it. Very happy with this brand. Feel the quality and I…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Nothing here

Great value for such a small smart charger!

I'm writing this review with hindsight. I'm either SUPER happy with these things! Or they just suck 2 stars or below - good product, not expensive. This relates to the Schumacher brand, I have two other products that I have had for 35 years. and they still work great! I especially like the charging cables as I can switch between clips and grommets to permanently attach them to my gear. Then all you need is additional clamps and then you can simply plug the charger between the batteries. I will…

Pros
  • Hard wearing finish
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

Great for small batteries

This is a good basic charger for small batteries. It was perfect for my bike, a charger that turns off when the battery is full and really good at not turning on at the slightest sign of a voltage drop which is what you need for battery maintenance. It's fully automatic, detects 6 and 12 volts, has only three indicators (bad polarity, charging, fully charged) and can turn off if you connect the wires in the opposite direction. I also used this device to charge a large car battery. I doubt it…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Already have a pair. At this reduced Revain price I bought a few add-ons. Same block, others take twice as much. There are other brands and for the dollar this is the REAL deal. Works great for battery maintenance, 1.5 amps, perfect. The rule of thumb when charging batteries, *Slow N Low*, is best. This applies to all batteries from cycle to car and hobby. Fast chargers (they have them too) have a very limited place in battery maintenance, use them as a last resort. a charger that does not…

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Almost never

this still looks like the best price for a good safe battery service tool

I have been using this exact battery service tool for about seven years now. Very reliable and safe. Need a second one and after looking at everything currently available this still looks like the best price for a good safe battery service. I don't use them to charge a dead or even dead or supposedly bad battery. They are designed so that a good battery can survive cold or long periods, so your good battery doesn't run out of juice and freeze up or have a short lifespan, and keep it running…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
