Product Description
The Schumacher Speed Charge SC-1000A is fully automatic and microprocessor controlled. It has three charge settings of 10, 6, and 2 Amps. For the 10 Amp Fast Charge, the charger monitors battery condition and adjusts charge rate downward to prevent battery damage. This setting is best for car, light truck, marine, RV, farm equipment, AGM, gel cell and deep-cycle batteries. The 6 Amp Medium Charge has a self-adjusting charge rate for everyday charging needs and for keeping your battery in peak condition. The 2 Amp Slow Charge is for charging and maintaining small batteries, such as motorcycle, ATV, snowmobile and lawn tractor batteries. The unit has 50 Amp clamps, used for top and side-mounted battery posts. Electronic push button controls allow for easy selection of charge rate or battery type. Battery type selections include regular automotive, deep-cycle, AGM or gel cell batteries. The charger has a sturdy, built-in handle for easy portability, and which also serves as a convenient cord wrap. 5 year limited warranty.

48 of 50 people found the following review helpful.Purchased this charger but when I removed it from the box I was very skeptical about its quality, it seemed too lightweight. Once I hooked the device to a battery I had in an old Mustang that had been sitting around forever and had absolutely no charge in it the device went into its repair mode. Its built in micro-chip recognized that my battery had such a low charge that the plates inside of battery had become sulfated so it automatically switched from my setting of a regular 10 amp charge to its desulfation mode and proceeded to repair my battery. It took close to six hours for the device to repair the battery but once again, with no input from me it changed back to its normal 10 amp charge mode that I had initially selected. I left the charger on overnight and in the morning it was fully charged (A green LED starts to shine), sometime during the night, after the charger recognized the battery was fully charged, it switched again this time to its maintain mode. When the charger charges the battery to its full capacity it shuts itself off but continues to monitor the batteries voltage, if battery voltage starts to slip under 14 volts charger turns back on and sends the battery short pulses of energy to maintain the battery at full capacity, this is its maintain mode. The reason for the short pulses of energy instead of its normal straight charging mode is to prevent the water in the battery from bubbling up and evaporating away which would happen if a normal charger was left charging a battery for more than a couple of days. This feature is fantastic, it makes sure that if somehow a mistake is made and charger is left on for to long that it will never overcharge the battery, in fact by leaving the charger on the battery after it has been fully charged it will actually keep your battery at its peak performance level. This was the easiest and most efficient charger I have ever had or seen. I charged another battery I had that was only discharged about 30% and it charged it to full capacity in less than an hour, amazing.
8 of 8 people found the following review helpful.I received the part in 1 week. I then charged my riding lawn mower battery to 100% and all 4 of my cars batteries. I was amazed to find from this tool that two of my cars batteries were at 50% and the other two were at 75%. Now they got charged to 100% and do start quicker. The 2 Amp takes a few hours to charge while the 6 Amp is 3x the charge time rate, and 10 Amp is 5x faster than the 2 Amp. These are all manually adjustable on the fly. Charged all these while hooked to the car and lawnmower.Cheers,Mike
