 Top of the line Charger! Nov 11, 2008
I've had many chargers in the past, but the Schumacher SSC 1000A Automatic speed charger beats them all. It has great flexability, and does everything it's meant to do. The display is easy to read at a distance, and the push-button functions are easy to use, and laid out in a logical format. For a full function charger, this is it. Highly recommended.

easy to use and does the job of battery charging in fine style. no complaints.
Excellent Smart Charger, Look No Further Sep 06, 2008
I used this charger on my red top Optima battery at least three times. If you've got a weekend cruiser, this is the charger for you. It did a great job of topping it off and the battery wasn't even warm when it was done.
The Good: Charger can also test batteries. Displays both battery capacity and voltage. Very good build quality; it doesn't feel cheaply made. Can charge all 12V battery types and has three different rates. To top it off, the price is very reasonable.
The Bad: Really nothing that I can think of.

 Do not use in permanent trickle charge mode! Sep 03, 2008
First, let me say that this charger performs flawlessly and deserves five stars when it is in charging mode. I have used it for three years and hundreds of successful charging cycles on a dozen different batteries of various sizes and types.
However, on two different occasions and with two different batteries (both brand new when hooked to the charger) I left them in "trickle charge" mode. The batteries were part of an emergency communications station that must to be ready at any time with full batteries. This charger burned up both batteries after three months of trickle charging. This mode is supposed to allow a battery to be hooked up indefinitely and maintain it at peak performance. Not destroy it. Other folks in the emergency communications service use other chargers and leave them in trickle mode for years. DO NOT use this charger for that kind of operation.

battery charger Jul 22, 2008
the charger worked great. it's only flaw is it needs a high amperage boots. my battery was completely dead and i had to use my old charger which had a 50 amp boost. this put enough life in the battery for the 1000a to see a charge and Finnish the job. my old charger wouldn't charge the battery any more but the boost portion still worked, thank goodness. i also use it to maintain the battery as this car sits most of the time.
