Review on Powerful Schumacher Battery Charger and Engine Starter for SUVs, Trucks, and Large Vehicle Batteries - 200 Amp/300 Amp, 6V/12V by Travis Vasquez

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The packaging was fine, the bottom of the charger was damaged before packaging.

Hope I enjoy the jump start and charging options. What I didn't like was that the handle felt so low even when pushed to its most vertical position. And if you want to get out and jump on the vehicle, the wheels are also small and made of plastic, which transmits a lot of vibration to the device. Haven't had a chance to try this yet because I've found that I can't even assemble the block as the bottom of the block is pushed so hard into the cavity that the lugs don't line up with the wheel mount. Also, the wheel mounts only have two capscrews that need to be attached to the base of the unit. The thread pitch is greater than the thickness of the base plate. There is no reinforcement where the mounting screws attach to the bottom of the unit and they will fall out very soon. And a crappy axle brace, of which only one was in the package to hold the tires, popped out the first time you hit the road over rough terrain. I don't want to complain, I'm just telling the truth. I'll probably fit a big axle and big rubber tires and add an extension to the handlebars so the guy doesn't have to bend down when he rolls this device into the vehicle to jump or charge it. Also, I'll probably reinforce the wheel mounts to make sure they last and stay secure for years of use. But I trust the brand, they have always worked for me in the past. I hope the functionality is up to date.

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Useless features
