Product Description

Ideal for motorcycles, tractors, or snowmobiles, this one-amp manual charger features reverse hook-up protection, which prevents charging the battery until it is hooked up to the correct posts. It also features a quick-disconnect harness with ring-lug adaptor and the choice of 50amp clamps or attaching the ring connectors directly to the battery. These chargers are ideal for overnight warming of automobile batteries during cold weather. Two set of charging cables with quick disconnect fittings allow the motorcycle charging connections to remain intact while the charger is used elsewhere.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for keeping a battery charged, May 30, 2007

This review is from: Schumacher MC-1 Manual Battery Charger (Misc.)

I bought this item because, at the time, it was advertised as shutting down when the charge was full. I see that this error has now been corrected on Amazon's web page. I wanted to use it to keep the battery on my tractor from discharging and freezing while the tractor was in the barn over the winter. However when I received it, the manual stated that it must be disconnected after full charge is done. If you can live with that, it should be fine. I never actually tried using it, as it didn't meet my requirements. Congrat's to Amazon for correcting the description.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's an Inexpensive Trickle Charger, October 15, 2008

By 

Matt R "Matt" (Racine, WI) - See all my reviews

This is a pretty simple trickle charger. It doesn't provide much feedback, other than when it is on and when it is off. I don't think there should be any worry of overcharging, as it was designed to provide a constant "trickle" of power to keep a battery at top charge. I have owned and used this unit for the past year without any problems. If you want more feedback, buy a unit with gauges. If you are just looking to keep your bike (or lawnmower) starting on demand and want to save a few bucks, this unit is very good.
