Great battery charger
Autozone and Advance Auto both told me a year old battery had to be replaced. I decided to buy this charger and it showed that the battery was good after charging. I wanted to tell the charger thanks, but it couldn't understand, so I will write this review. After the cost of the charger I saved over $60 by not buying another battery.
Thanks for sharing your story! We’re glad the SC1281 came through for you and saved you from buying a new battery. That’s exactly what we love to hear—smart solutions that save time and money. If you ever need tips or have questions, we’re here to help.

Great Charger for the money.
This Schumacher charger replaces an old Schumacher charge that stopped working. This one is built heavier, and the power cords are more robust. I do not like the fact that one has to select 6<>2A rate selection to get the percentage of charge. I do like the fact that this charger has a Start/Stop button. So, for the money this is a great charger.

Best value
I was shopping for a battery charger to replace my old craftsman. I found that they don't make a battery charger like that anymore. So I started looking online and found that Schumacher made the craftsman I have so I searched for and found one close to the same thing as the craftsman. Then I searched for the model and found Walmart was cheaper than all the other sites. Walmart was over a hundred dollars cheaper than some.
