    • Kept my car battery alive for several months
I have used different brands of battery chargers and for the most part they have been pretty similar in capability. In this case though, I needed charger that also maintains the battery as well, as I go out of town at times for long periods and have come back more often than not with a dead battery in my car, especially with more electronics than ever in both the car and with the devices you carry that drain your car battery faster than ever. I was looking specifically for something that was powerful, feature filled and easy to use, especially since someone in the family might need to deal with the device if I was gone. The quality of the battery charger is very good with a sturdy casing and good quality metal jumper clamps. It is powerful with 100A which worked for my SUV with no issues. I really like the diagnostics mode which tells you if the battery or alternator is bad as well as it can bring back nearly dead batteries back. The one thing I like the most is that it is basically plug and play, with everything automatically done. In my case, I bought this after I left, because even though the car was being regularly started, the battery went dead anyways. This not only brought the battery back to life, but maintained the battery until I returned several months later. My car started like it was new, so the maintainer did its job. The jump starter has safety features including reverse polarity protection assures that the jumper cables are connected correctly. Th jump starter has an LED battery level indicator lets you clearly see the status of the battery level with a percentage. Even though this is a good size and has some weight, it is not burdensome to carry or use as it has a nice ergonomic carry handle. One of the biggest surprises is that the warranty is only one year on this charger, especially considering the price as compared to other similar devices. Pros: Portable Well-made, good quality Safety features such as overcharging protection, overloading protection, and overheating protection. Good ergonomic handle Set of good quality metal clamps with built-in safety mechanisms to prevent reverse polarity Battery level percentage indicator Easy to use, easy to charge Feature packed Maintainer works great Can do diagnostics on battery and alternator Cons: Short warranty Expensive 5 stars ... show more

    • Brought My Battery Back To Life
I am in no way a mechanic, but I like to read and try to solve my problems if possible. I've had some issues with my foot and have not been able to drive for several months. While I was in the hospital my battery completely died. I have been experiencing issues each winter with the cold since I park outside and the cold weather drains the battery. Previously I was able to jump start the battery without issue. My soon to be son-in-law installed a new battery and I would start my car every couple of days. In the last cold stretch I did not make it out to start my car for a week and the battery died again. I did my research and found that the Schumacher Electric SC1281 would recharge my battery and also test out my alternator. I found this helpful although I did not expect my alternator to need replacing since it has not been that long since it was replaced. The Schumacher Electric SC1281 was a little heavy to carry if you are a smaller person, but the case has a handle so it is kind of a wash for the portability. Make sure to have a long extension cord as you will need to plug in the charger to an outlet. The clamps are marked with the positive and negative symbols so it is easy for a novice to use. Turn on the charger and the device will automatically detect the battery type that needs the charge. The user guide was helpful, and explained the charging process and how long I needed to wait and what the various indicator lights mean during the charging process. The Schumacher Electric SC1281 has an automatic shutoff which is helpful for the novice user and prevents damage to the battery from overcharging. Also, the Schumacher Electric SC1281 solves my cold weather problem in the winter. The device also provides a trickle charge if plugged in overnight in cold weather. From what I have read, in simple terms a trickle charge means the device will give the battery enough of a charge to prevent dying in cold weather. Of course, I might win the lottery and move to Arizona before the next winter hits. Hey, a person can dream right? In summary, the Schumacher Electric SC1281 brought back my relatively new battery from the dead after a cold spell and I can use this to make my life a bit easier in the cold weather from this point forward. The cost was worth it to me as I can use this as long as I park outside in the colder months and not worry about a jump start. ... show more

    • works GREAT, will charge a completely dead battery
I bought this battery charger because my previous, very old, charger finally stopped working. I purchased a different battery charger first but then realized that it would NOT charge a completely dead battery. This was one of the very few battery chargers on the market that will charge a completely dead battery. A battery charger that won't do this is worthless to me as I usually only get out my battery charger when I have a dead battery. Other than that this battery charger is very easy to use, reads out the charging current and battery voltage and even estimates how much the battery is charged. It will automatically shut off when the battery is fully charged as well. When it detects that the battery is "sulfated," a condition where a battery will not charge properly, it goes into a mode to repair the battery. This is very handy for older batteries. It will charge as low as 2 amps to maintain a battery in storage and as high as 30 amps for a very fast charge. It also provides a 100 amp battery boost which is the equivalent of a "jump start" to start a near dead car battery immediately if you are close enough to a power plug to plug it in. The battery charger is also very rugged and, of course, quite heavy too. If you drop it, no worries. It has some advanced features to diagnose a bad car alternator but I have not used this yet. ... show more

    • defaults to 30 amp charge
Charger works well and will charge a fully discharged battery (some newer chargers won't) Only concern is that the default setting is 30 amp charge , have to remember to lower to trickle charge each time you start it, or if power surges etc Other than that works well .
