 Works as described, Would like a few more features Dec 18, 2010
By Kevin W
I ordered this battery charger to replace a Die Hard that died. We commonly have to either keep vehicles that are sitting for months at a time on a trickle charge or sometimes jump a vehicle with a dead battery.
This charger does great with everything we hook it to. Some of the settings and displayed feel a little too dumbed-down for my taste.
The main feature that would make this charger a lot better for my use would be charging a battery that is completely dead. Right now, if we want to use this charger on a dead battery, we have to hook a charged battery up to the dead one so that the charger will realized it is hooked up. Once the charger starts the charging cycle, we can unhook the good battery.
Edited....After several months, I have had problems charging some Optima batteries. At times it will stop charging after an hour or so and just blink.

 Great Product Battery Refresh Function Actually works Sep 21, 2010
By Albert Mullen
Have used this on several batteries works perfect. Even used on an old motorcycle battery I could not get to charge with my other charger and it is now back to 100% (left hooked up over night)

Very Realiable! Oct 02, 2011
By edbec
After buying a couple of budget priced Battery Chargers and having them go out, I said what the heck I'll spend the extra money and get a good one. Let me tell you I'm not disappointed with my new Schumacher Battery Charger, so take my advice spend the extra money and buy from a Company that knows what they are doing!

Good charger Jul 18, 2011
By ct0218
This does an excellent job of charging the various batteries I have around the house. It seems to take a long time to start the charging process, so I assume that it is analyzing the battery prior to charging. The center digit on the digital display has gotten a little dim, hard to read in the sun, but other than that it has worked as advertised. I would buy this product again.

Charger is smarter than the people who wrote the instructions. May 29, 2011

First of all, it works. I've used it to bring one dead battery back to life and right now I'm staying up late baby sitting another dead battery that's connected to this thing.
My problems with this product have to do with useability.
First, the instructions are scatterbrained. The essentialy information you need to use the device is all over the place. I really would have appreciated a single sequential set of instructions followed by the troubleshooting guide. And, the instructions don't seem to tell everything. I had this thing display "OL" in the LED which I assume was "overload", but the little instruction sheet said nothing about this error code.
Second, and much more infuriating, is that the controls are labelled with a font and color combination that is just about unreadable even up close with my reading glasses on and a flashlight on the controls. No, my eyesight isn't that bad! It takes a very special talent to create a product that comes with all kinds of safety warnings, and really looks like you could blow some thing up if you used it wrong, and then makes the control labels almost unreadable. Nice going there people!
