    • Brought My Battery Back To Life
I am in no way a mechanic, but I like to read and try to solve my problems if possible. I've had some issues with my foot and have not been able to drive for several months. While I was in the hospital my battery completely died. I have been experiencing issues each winter with the cold since I park outside and the cold weather drains the battery. Previously I was able to jump start the battery without issue. My soon to be son-in-law installed a new battery and I would start my car every couple of days. In the last cold stretch I did not make it out to start my car for a week and the battery died again. I did my research and found that the Schumacher Electric SC1281 would recharge my battery and also test out my alternator. I found this helpful although I did not expect my alternator to need replacing since it has not been that long since it was replaced. The Schumacher Electric SC1281 was a little heavy to carry if you are a smaller person, but the case has a handle so it is kind of a wash for the portability. Make sure to have a long extension cord as you will need to plug in the charger to an outlet. The clamps are marked with the positive and negative symbols so it is easy for a novice to use. Turn on the charger and the device will automatically detect the battery type that needs the charge. The user guide was helpful, and explained the charging process and how long I needed to wait and what the various indicator lights mean during the charging process. The Schumacher Electric SC1281 has an automatic shutoff which is helpful for the novice user and prevents damage to the battery from overcharging. Also, the Schumacher Electric SC1281 solves my cold weather problem in the winter. The device also provides a trickle charge if plugged in overnight in cold weather. From what I have read, in simple terms a trickle charge means the device will give the battery enough of a charge to prevent dying in cold weather. Of course, I might win the lottery and move to Arizona before the next winter hits. Hey, a person can dream right? In summary, the Schumacher Electric SC1281 brought back my relatively new battery from the dead after a cold spell and I can use this to make my life a bit easier in the cold weather from this point forward. The cost was worth it to me as I can use this as long as I park outside in the colder months and not worry about a jump start. ... show more

    • Easy To Use, Informative Readouts, Fast Thorough Charging, Built To Last
I've had an old Sears 50amp charger for over 30 years, and it always provided a great charge, and meters that let me know the condition of the battery being charged. Sadly, due to my own carelessness in attaching the cables, it burned itself out. Finding a replacement would be difficult as a lot has changed in charging products in the past 30 years. Thankfully, this Schumacher 100 amp (starting) is well-built, has heavy-duty components, and up-to-date technology that makes charging easier, faster and satisfying. Yes, satisfying, because a well-built product that works as claimed, and gets me out of a tight spot is a product that pleases me. I like this so much, that I will be looking at Schumacher for other automotive products I might need. We all know that most of our products are made in China, and though we might wish to buy American, that is largely only a wish. But, what makes a product from China great is the oversight by concerned individuals, excellent quality control, and customer commitment. Schumacher is apparently doing all this things. We suspect that many products come from the same factories, with just a different box and labels, but oversight by tough folks makes all the difference in the world. Price is right tool ... show more
