5.0 out of 5 stars A Robust and Efficient Battery Charger, September 16, 2007

This review is from: Schumacher SE-1275A Automatic Onboard Battery Charger (Misc.)

I'm impressed by this product. I've used other battery chargers before but the SE-1275A is the best ever. The things I like best are: Wide-mouthed alligator clips that clamp on easily and don't slip off, automatic shutoff when a battery is fully charged, the rugged steel cabinet and overall quality construction.

If I could change anything about it, I would suggest adding readable instructions to the back of the cabinet, a longer electrical supply cord (one or two extra feet would be perfect), and a larger analog meter.

I have only used the charger in the 2A charge mode. It has fully met my need to recharge the battery in an auto that is used infrequently. I do wish that the instruction manual described more fully the changes that occur in the display as the charging progresses.

Heavy - steel and copper. Thats what counts in a charger and this one has both. Don't buy the lightweights from China. Made in Mexico, but its an old standby US design.

OKAY its a year later... this one died early on - they sent a new one after I retutned the bad one. That one died too. They quickly sent another without any return needed, and the rep sounded like he was Po'd at his company for allowing so much junk to go out the door. Now I have two working and one dead for spare parts, and even after the hassle these are still the most for the least on the market. You only other option is sears, and they appear to be made by Schumaker also, or harbor freight which should send its electric stuff with a death certificate.
