    • Good concept but problems
I bought the unit based on a response from the supplier that it would automatically adjust charge current for different batteries. The charge voltage is high--I measured close to 16V when trying to charge an 8 Amp-Hour Gel Cell. Measured with a calibrated Fluke multimeter. That is much higher than recommended for a gel cell, and may cause damage. It may be OK for larger automotive batteries which might survive the larger charge voltage. Also tried it on several other small batteries and it declared them defective. Though I was able to charge them fine with a different charger. Maybe I just got a defective charger, but I was disappointed, as I have always trusted Schumacher chargers. Actually I wish they were less automatic and gave the user more access to settings. I returned the charger. ... show more

I don't have a farm - BUT I do have a couple acres that need mowing about 10 months a year (Thank You Florida sunshine!). This "Schumacher 12V Fully Automatic Battery Charger and Maintainer " keeps both mower batteries charged and ready for their weekly use. I use the large riding mower (Lawn Tractor) for the majority of the property and a smaller one for around the house and flower beds. I keep this charger on the bigger mower so that it's ready to start, then switch it over to the smaller mower so that it will be ready for the detail mowing. The length of the cables makes it easy to switch over to a different piece of equipment without having to move the equipment or the charger. This charger is really easy to hook-up and use safely and the mowers are always ready - even when I'm not...... The plastic hook for hanging is very convenient for hanging the charger. It keeps it upright and visible as well as easily accessible. The only comment /concern I have is that the hook is made of plastic and I'm not sure about its longevity and/or durability after constant exposure to the outdoor heat and sun. Only time will tell and I like this charger! ... show more

    • The FR01538 is an excellent 5 amp battery charger/maintainer by Schumacher under $40
The model FR01538 5amp battery charger for 12 volt systems by Schumacher is made in PRC (china). This is an excellent charger for under $40. This charger does not have a display or temperature compensation, but those cost more. This charger will test the battery as it charges or when in maintenance mode, and stop charging if the battery detects as bad. This is the first battery charger I have come across in the under 40 range that does that. I use this on deep cycle and starter batteries in 12 volt systems with no issues so far. I do continue to check the water levels and add water ever couple of months. I had a battery go bad while using this charger, and when I tested it with more advanced means, I confirmed the battery needed replacement. The 5 amp charger and the 10 amp version use the same case, and have a built in cooling fan (not in the description). There are vent holes on the back of the charger, so it needs to stay dry. I recommend this charger, as it does what it says. 5 stars ... show more

    • Good basic charger
This Schumacher charger is for more than just for the farm and I think that when they say it is a farm charger they mean it will be extra heavy duty for other uses and temperature extremes. This is the primo brand name in chargers also. It works pretty good but just keep an eye on it with a DMM to make sure it is working right and not overcharging to your tastes. It seemed to be just fine to me but I am wary to all these new chargers. Overall, I wish it had a display but for set and forget this is fine. ... show more

    • Great cord lengths, cheap plastic hook, puts out about 5amps+ at 16 volts, smart cooling fan

Review Image by Will Will
When charging heavy around 7amps the lights flash up and down and it runs it's fan, then goes to a lower level of about 3amps with no fan, then trickle. In addition to the status light pictures some words would have been nice. I really wanted a maintainer with a hook and the plastic hook on this thing isn't beefy enough for farm use. For the price it would be nice to have a screen to see what the voltage is at. All said, this functions really well. So this product is a bit of a mixed bag. ... show more

    • Great value, and not just for farm use.
I bought this because I needed a second charger/maintainer for the garage. I keep an older battery on hand in the event that I need to jump start a car or take advantage of accessing a power source for mild-moderate use without having to run long extension cords. It indicates that it’s for farm use, but I find it works particularly well for what I need it to do. I hooked this up to an (almost) dead car battery (about 6v) as soon as I got it. I would have expected it to take about 10-12 hours to charge, but it had it fully charged in just under 9. That it self-adjusts its output based upon the batter its charging is really helpful. Additionally, I like the hanger feature. It seems pretty strong, but I don’t know how it would hold up under heavy use. Still, for my purposes, it works well to hang on the open hood of the car or on a hanger above the battery that I’m charging. I don’t have a lot of room in my garage, so I can’t really set aside space just for charging a battery and I need to take advantage of any spaces I have. For me, the battery sits on top the bottom plate of the garage wall (that, in turn sits on the cinder block foundation). The charger then hangs above this, keeping the cables out of the way and between the wall studs. The clamps and cables appear of good quality, and even though the clamps are a bit on the small size, they gripped the battery terminals without any problem. Overall, I have so far found this to be a pretty good value for the price. Again, I’m not sure how well it would do under heavy use. I’ve never worked at a farm, but I understand it can be brutal on equipment. For me though, it’s great for tighter spaces where one might need to charge a battery and not have to walk in and around cables (either on the floor or on a table/bench). ... show more
