5 out of 5 stars Very impressive   January 19, 2009

This is the 4th or 5th battery charger I've owned over the years. I remember the ones that used to "cook" your battery. This one is amazing, and so simple to use. You hook it up, input the battery type and size, and let it go! The digital read out lets you know what it's doing and will actually go up to 16 v or so to try to desulfonate the battery. The little cooling fan kicks in (internal) as the electronics do their analyzing. It will maintain a charge -- no cooking any more. Well made, works well, I'm glad I purchased it.

So far so good.....I have only had this charger a couple of weeks. My only use so far was to charge and check several batteries I keep in my barn for the winter. So far I am very pleased with its performance. It seem to work just like the instructions indicate. I have used it on two small quad runner batteries, two spare car batteries, and 2 deep cycle trolling motor batteries. They all went through the initial diagnostic check, and then when I switched it they went into the charge mode. One of the small batteries went into the desulfating mode, then the charge mode and now seems to working better. Charger seems to built very well, and came vey well packaged for shipping.

Schumacher SC-8000A Speedcharge Charger/Maintainer
I have had various 12v battery chargers. The ones that I have usually bought were trickle charge types. My first one did not have a sensor and I blame that for killing a 1 year old garden tractor battery. My second unit that I bought for $30 or so had a sensor to avoid overcharging. It lasted 10-15 years but it started to have problems. It just seems to stopped charging altogether when its 'trouble' light came on. It started becoming frustrating when all my automotive batteries started to die about the same time and the charge just did not work. Thank the lord that I now have what appears to be a really good unit.

So far I have successfully used the Schumacher SC-8000A to trickle charge my garden tractor battery, jump start my car, rapid charge my diesel truck (which as diesel owners know, has two batteries), and rapid charge an auxiliary battery (an Optima YellowTop). I did try to jump start my diesel truck and it did not work. I only tried to crank it once and I wasn't sure that it would work. Once you crank it, the unit prevents you from trying again for several minutes. I was not in a hurry so I rapid charged it myself. So far I am satisfied. I am hoping that it continues to work well and lasts a long time. Time will only tell.

I bought this battery charger for myself about a year ago and love it. It is very versitile for a small charger. I bought my brother one for Christmas and he loves it too. Best battery charger you can buy for the money.



5 out of 5 stars Good for Deep Cycle batteries   December 19, 2009

Bought this to maintain Deep Cycle batteries for my RV and Electric trolling motor
I like the 3 stage charging and seems to charge twice as fast as my old charger
The float/maintenance mode also works like a battery tender
Overall a good value
