Schumacher SC-600A SpeedCharge High Frequency Battery Charger
It does what it is suppsed to do,
I purchased the product from Walmart for about $30.00. I purchased it as a compliment to a more powerful but not automatic charger I already have. My main purpose is to keep boat batteries charged during the off season. After reading the instructions and hooking it up it went through the charging and stopping cycles as indicated in the user’s manual. All of the indicator lights worked as stated in the manual. So far I have charged two batteries. I hooked them up in the evening, the indicator light showed they were at about 75% charge. By morning they were fully charged and the charging cycle had stopped. According to the user’s manual once the charging stops it goes into a maintainance mode where it monitors the battery and when it falls below a pre-set charge, it begins a recharge cycle again. The automatic function is nice because you dont have to worry about over charging. The 6 ft power cord and 6 ft charging cables are convenient because I could charge my boat battery in the garage without having to use an extension chord. I have only charged two batteries but so far, so good.

|Basic 6V/12V Battery Charger w/ Microprocessor Monitor,
Schumacher’s basic charger – 6V or 12V, 2A, 4A & 6A charge rate. Automatic charger that charges, then goes to maintenance mode. Their more expensive chargers have higher charge rates (10A & higher) and additional built-in metering like voltmeter to test state of charge, etc.
I am using it exclusive for my 2 cars in the winter. Went on vacation and returned 6 days later to find the car wouldn’t start when the trunk lid (truck light) was left open. With regular below 32 degree weather in the winter in Wash DC, bought this to maintain the 2 car batteries. After jump starting my wife’s car, decided to buy this to charge the battery and monitor battery condition (can’t leave her stranded or home alone with a dead car battery).
Instructions were simple, but use caution anyway. Charger had approx 6 feet alligator clip cables to connect to battery and keep away from battery (acids, fumes, etc.). With negative-grounded car, attach red clip to positive battery terminal, then black clip to ground (charger must be unplugged from AC). Then plug into AC. Charger has “connection” indicator tyo show a battery is recognized. Then select 6V/12V, then select charge rate (2A or more). When charging, has “charge” indicator light and 3 lights (25%, 50%, 75%) to show progress. When fully charged, 3 progress lights go off and green “charged” indicator lights up and it goes into maitenance mode. Unplug the charger, then disconnect the 2 clips from the battery.
The unit has a five (5) year warranty; very few electrical/electronic devices now have a warranty beyond 1 year. Even the big appliances like washers, dryers, dish washers now come with just 1 year — the manufacturer effectively increased the price by 10% which is about the repair rate for the 3rd to 5th years.

|Good Choice For Antique Car Owners,
This little charger works equally well when charging and maintaining both 6 and 12 volt automotive batteries. It’s a good choice for maintaining batteries in cars which are driven only on special occasions.
