About this item
Product details
Experienced mechanics know that no garage is complete without a powerful battery charger and engine starter. The Schumacher Electric 6V/12V Fully Automatic 6A Battery Charger and 100A Engine Starter (SC1281) is an essential addition to any garage currently without one. The SC1281 allows you to perform diagnostic testing, engine starting, and battery charging/maintaining. Powerful enough to start large engines, the SC1281 features a 100-amp engine start. It also features 30-amp to 12-amp boost and 6-amp to 2-amp charge/maintain rates for additional charging applications. The built-in battery and alternator tester lets you determine a connected battery’s charge level and helps diagnose electric problems in your vehicle. Fully automatic, the Schumacher SC1281 is controlled by a microprocessor, which employs an advanced multi-stage charging algorithm, auto-voltage detection, and float mode monitoring. As a safety measure, the unit includes reverse hook-up protection, which prevents the charger from operating if the clamps are reversed. Other features include a digital display, LED indicators, push-button controls, and wrap cleats for convenient cord storage. New In Box.

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.

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.
