Good unit. Works well
Good quality. I hate those little tiny ones even if they work the same. Keeps my boat batteries charged for when I need to go drown some worms & get casting practice

Great Charger
Excellent battery charger that you control. It works perfect, and unlike those digital jokes, you have full control over what it does. I recommend this charger 100%

Good Replacement Charger
Good value for the money!!! Built with Quality, The only thing I don't like is there is no voltage gauge and the amp gauge it just a range does tell you exactly how many amps we are changing at.

Failure due to poor assembly, less than a year old, onbly a few uses.
Bought this is January 24. Went to use it this January, rolled it to the vehicle and plugged it in. Needed to move it a little closer to connect cables, and sparks shot out the vents as a short took place. This case is very hard to remove, to get access to the inside. What I saw was a hot wire terminal had fallen off the connection point and fallen against the case, which created the grounding. I was able to reconnect the wire- but the unit is dead, so the short damaged something in the circuitry.That means the repair may be more expensive than replacing the unit. It's just days out of warranty, past return limits.This was a replacement for a previous Schumaker charger that had worked for over 30 years, that had a timer switch quit working. I gave that to a friend who replaced the timer- and it still works.Companies often decide to cuts costs to keep prices low and profits coming. The terminals involved here were surprisingly poor, not typical at all- and I think the unit failure is due to nothing more than going cheap to save pennies, at the cost of quality and reliability .... And, of reputation. A good brand is worth a lot, provided it represents quality products. In my view, it no longer does.NEW INFO- and sadly worse, which is why my original 3-star rating is now a 1-star.Given I had no warranty, I looked into the costs of service- which are about the same as the cost of the machine. So, I decided to open it up and see if I could do my own repair. As I have been in the manufacturing business for many years, designed and built dozens of products, I'm not an average DIY guy.So...First step, open the case- and that immediately made matters worse. Not only is it difficult; there are parts that are held in place by friction alone; no fasteners. The ammeter and lens is one of them, they just push into a hole. The cord to the ammeter is not connected except by passing through a loop, which is fine except the cord isn't supported either, so the meter and lens immediately fell out, but access to replace them is poor.Overall, I found the inner construction to be as cheap as possible. Every corner cut. While it may work fine out of the box, the idea that it will last for years is no longer realistic. The quality it takes to ensure that durability is just not there.I hate to see a brand name that has meant quality for decades prostituted for profit, by gutting the quality out of the product and riding the brand loyalty- and I think that is what has happened here. Schumacher dominates the market for these things, but now, they are actually China-made. What's more, they now make chargers for other brand names, simply by making minor changes in the cosmetics of the case, so that if you buy a similar competing product- most likely you are still buying theirs, and getting the same compromised designs, materials and workmanship. The saddest part is that with a few exceptions, the cost of building in durability is not that much, they sold their good name very cheap.
