  • Best choice
Style: Without Start/Stop Button
With sturdy construction and easily understandable directions, this was my best Amazon buy ever. It’s not totally noise free, but neither is it annoying. This unit is lightweight, portable, and easily carried or stored in even the smallest of trunks. I’m considering buying a few more for Christmas gifts for loved ones whose cars I’d not want stranded by weak or dead batteries. The plug is standard for any outlet. I can leave this plugged in and use it during very hot or very cold weather, and in rain, sleet, snow - you name it. The charge is effected safely and quickly, bringing batteries back from even the lowest of charge levels. Once finished charging, this unit maintains the full charge even if the vehicle is unused for months. It automatically adjusts how much electricity is sent from any outlet to your battery, reducing the electricity when your battery is charged. How much electricity is flowing from an outlet to your battery? The unit sends enough electricity to quickly and fully charge your battery. Then, it allows just a trickle of electricity to flow to your battery, so your full charge is maintained. That means you’re not overpaying for electricity, even if you plug it into an outlet and forget it. It won’t hurt batteries by overcharging, even if attached and plugged in every day of every month. It does not get hot. It does not need attention or servicing. I can hook it up, plug it into any outlet, and leave it without worrying about anything. It’s safe and effective inside a garage, parking lot, driveway, or for on street use. An extension cord can be used if the cord provided is not long enough, but the accompanying cord seems sufficient for most uses. Summarizing, all batteries lose charges over time. This unit safely and dependably charges weak batteries, then maintains batteries by constantly sending a small trickle of electricity to make up for those anticipated and usual lost charges. ... show more

  • Reliable and well made
Style: With Start/Stop Button
I spent quite a bit of time researching and decided to go with a name brand charger. It has worked well; I have needed it a couple times over the last year and a half and it has come through without a hitch. The Schumacher is easy to use and also identifies if a battery is bad (so I don't waste time). I recommend the Schumacher for anyone needing a battery charger that you can depend on. ... show more

  • Updated product
Style: Without Start/Stop Button
I had an older version of this product that worked well. This charger is more versatile and easier to use. I think it may be slightly faster to charge on all settings. The old one serves as my RV back-up in the event that my onboard charging system fails. This is a great unit.

  • Schumacher SC1280 battery charger
Style: With Start/Stop Button
When I received this item I noticed the box flap was not taped. Previously opened? The product was not in sealed on in a plastic bag and there was no user manual. The product itself appeared to be in good condition, undamaged, and after testing it (still in use overnight) appears to function properly. We will see if the battery charger holds up. I think I am glad I got the extended warranty. ... show more

This charger’s small size and light weight made me question durability and performance claimed. So far, I’ve been pleasantly surprised. Pros: small footprint; easy to use out of the box; bright digital display status indicator; automatically switches to trickle/maintenance mode. Cons: Instruction booklet; small battery clamps; initially confusing selector buttons for 12v/6v/3v charging. If you want more in-depth information, read on. Otherwise, skip it and buy one with confidence. The instructions are unnecessarily complicated and bogged down by all kinds of safety warnings. The information/graphics printed on the top of the unit is all you basically need to begin using this charger. The reverse connection protection feature is nice because if you accidentally hook it up wrong you get a warning. This is a great if you work with very old cars/batteries and the markings or cables or -/+ indications are hard to determine. Another useful feature is if you connect the battery first and then plug in the charger, the digital display shows how discharged the battery is. This is helpful in determining how much time a full charge might take to complete. Even though it advertises 6v/12v and 3v battery charging capabilities, there are only two selector buttons – 12A or 3A. This didn’t make sense. However, buried in the instructions you will find that if you hook it up to a 6v battery, you need to select the 12A button and its Auto Voltage Detection system will automatically detect a 6 or 12 volt battery. Why not label the button 6A/12A? I would also have liked larger clamps on the cables, but many chargers in this class use the small clamps, so not a deal breaker. So far, this charger has worked well. The only time it didn’t work properly was when I connected it to a completely discharged battery. Usually, you can set the unit to deep charge the battery, leave it alone for several hours, and upon completing a full charge, it will indicate that it switched over to maintenance mode automatically. Overall, this is a great little charger, especially for the price. Even with its minor annoyances, I’d probably buy another one just for convenience sake, although it is so easy to carry around that moving it from one garage to another is a simple task. ... show more
