It's a nice little thing

Delivered on time but if I knew what it was I would keep shopping. It's small, I've had bigger sandwiches than this thing.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Poor instructions

Non-portable charger

I thought this was a portable charger that can be used anywhere but needs to be plugged into an outlet to work. Since I can't drive my car into the living room, it kind of defeats the purpose.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • -

Boiled a 1400 cold start battery dry

I left this charger on a tractor I don't use that often and it blew the battery dry! I tried saving the battery by pouring distilled water over it but it didn't work. It cost me $220 to replace that battery. The bottom line is, don't leave these chargers plugged in for long periods of time.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Weak

Not the same charger we used to buy a pass for this

We have a large car service that probably charges 4-6 cars a day in the winter. Before that we always bought small Schumacher chargers. The new feature, fully automatic with a microprocessor, is nonsense. We have many vehicles with batteries that we can save on charging overnight or 24 hours. These new chargers used with a 10 year old model will not charge them and indicate a bad battery, older devices will keep the battery and be fine.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Nothing here

Hope it works as well and as long as my others

Always use these chargers for years to come! Today I received my new one, I noticed on the packaging that the processing has decreased a bit. I like to keep my tools clean and functional at all times. I first had to check if this one was ordered as refurbished, but I ordered a new one. The front of the charger was not fully assembled but I will try to return it if there are any problems. The little things would be overlooked by most, but I'm a fan of the instruments and expected betterโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Upgradeable

I miss the analog meter

I took a fully charged 12v AGM battery (as a test) and tried using this charger. The device stayed on the "orange" level (at 16.5 volts) for over 30 minutes and "roasted" my fully charged battery. After 30 minutes the LED turned green and over time the charge voltage slowly dropped to 12.98 VDC. I have several old Schumaker chargers like this one. They work fine. These new microprocessor controlled chargers suck! Bayer watch out.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only
