Amazon.com Product Description
The Schumacher SC-6500A SpeedCharge Automatic Battery Charger is part of the "SpeedCharge" line of chargers, the state of the art in battery charging technology. An internal computer controls the charge rate while monitoring the battery condition to insure the battery is not overcharged. With SC-6500A electronic technology, you can hook up the battery, set the controls, and walk away. Your battery will be fully charged in a fraction of the time required by conventional chargers. When the computer control determines that the battery is fully charged, the charger is shut off completely. The SC-6500A SpeedCharge is an automatic battery charger for 12V, deep cycle, gel cell, and AGM batteries. 
The SC-6500A monitors itself to prevent overcharging your battery. | Versatile
The SC-6500A will charge batteries for a wide variety of vehicles, including cars, trucks, RVs, deep cycles, farm equipment, motorcycles, and lawn tractors. With this charger, you can charge virtually every type of automotive or light marine battery. Features
Among its many features, the SC-6500A has a 65 Amp Engine Start for emergency starting and a 10/20 Amp Fast Charge mode, which is a self-adjusting, variable charge rate for everyday charging needs and maintaining your battery in peak condition. While the unit charges, it automatically desulfates and restores the battery. There is also a 2 Amp Slow Charge setting for charging and maintaining small batteries such as motorcycle, ATV, snowmobile, and lawn tractor batteries. Safe and Convenient
This unit has 125 amp, sure-grip clamps for top and side-mounted battery posts, an electronic touchpad control, easy-to-select switches for the digital display, battery type or charge/start functions.

 Schumacher SC-6500A Automatic Battery Charger. March 13, 2007
J. Angell (Long Island, NY)

Excellent product, and the Amazon deal (free shipping and a large price drop) made it a no brainer. The unit is a rugged, very flexible charger from a major company in the business. The de-sulfinization (or is it de-sulfation ?) battery conditioning feature can bring back a battery you would otherwise have to replace (I've used it successfully already), and the 65 amp boost mode can start a car with a weak battery that you would otherwise have to jump (used that too.) I'm very satisfied with this unit, it's light years ahead of anything near the price I paid that I would find at Sears ...
Solid, heavy duty charger for a very reasonable price March 22, 2007

I finally had to upgrade my old faithful 35-year-old Schumacher 6 amp charger - not because it quit working, but because it didn't have enough horsepower to handle the big 105 ampere-hour trolling motor battery in my boat. I wanted a higher capacity unit, but with the same solidly built reliability I've experienced with my old Shumacher charger. This unit was priced quite a bit less than some other brands with similar capability, so I was a little afraid Schumacher, like many companies, might have gone the "cheap" route with their products by using a lightweight case and cheap components. Not so! I was pleasantly surprised to find this is a solid, heavy, well built charger in the best Schumacher tradition. Well designed with a very stout plastic cabinet with pop-up carrying handle, informative and easy to use front panel controls, and nice features like automatic no-spark battery connecting/disconnecting even if you forget to unplug it first, plus automatic polarity protection, and a looong power cord with a handy place to store the cord. I found only a single minor negative: If I had to change anything about this unit, I'd find a quieter fan. The fan, although it's pretty loud for it's size, is at least automatic and only runs when needed, so this is no big deal to me, since I only run it in my shop/garage. Haven't tried the "start" function, which I consider a more or less useless frill for a charger of this size, but it certainly charges all types of batteries like a champ, and the automatic quick charge/maintenance charge function works great. I highly recommend this great little charger.
Great quality January 27, 2007

Works fast and good. This is a great charger. Anybody can use this. The voltmeter and % of battery indicator is nice, I don't have to check the battery with my multi-meter. Havn't used the alternator tester yet but have no doubt it works. By far the best charger I've seen and used. However it is noisy, but who needs total silence in a garage.

This is a special battery charger. It is a speed charger as the name implies. The best feature is that it senses when a battery is "sulfated"
and the 6500a kicks into "De-sulfation" mode. Once that is done,it tries to charge the battery. However all too often batteries are neglected and not recoverable.But the 6500a is a great tool in keeping your batteries
in shape. Also the 6500a has a starting mode and an altenator output tester.Great(best) price from Amazon .
Works great March 4, 2008

This thing works great. A friend had purchased a Black & Decker smart charger which had piqued my interest in getting a smart charger. I found this one from Schumacher which I decided to purchase over the B&D because of brand quality. You can do a lot with this thing and it's small (read the description). You can even jump a small engine. I wouldn't try on a big truck or a diesel in the cold (with this model at least). My biggest complaint is that the cables for the leads get stiff in the cold below -10 F and worry me that they will crack. That may not concern many people though. I've used it to charge car batteries my boat battery and jump start a car.
