I purchased this for my trolling motor as my brother kept on me about getting a battery charger - marine type. Anyway, it works just great and from my perspective, no second guessing, just simple hook it up and forget it! I now have the confidence that I am not overcharging, that I won't get stuck out in the middle of our lake with a drained battery and that my brother is now a happy fisherman as he comes up to the lake and uses MY pontoon and trolling motor which now always has a fully charged battery!!!! Hooray for simplicity and excellence in quality!

This review is from: Schumacher SS-120A-PE 12 Amp Ship 'N' Shore Battery Charger (Misc.)

I ordered this charger thinking that with the Schumacher name it would last another 25 years like my old Schumacher charger. Nope. It charged one battery then died. I initiated a return with Amazon and got it replaced. Well the replacement charger would not even come on when I got it! Now I am sending 2 of these chargers back to Amazon and will look at another brand for my replacement charger. Wow how quality has changed when the items are made in Mexico instead of the USA where my old one was made. Says a lot about the shape of the country and the world in general.

I thought it was pricey but after using it for several weak batteries, I would not sell it for any amount. I reactivated a dead maintenance free battery that had not been used in over 5 years. Took 48 hours but it de-sulphated and revived at least one dead cell. Battery voltage is now 12.9 VDC and will operate the starter for a 15 hp generator engine. Battery envolved is a CP 12180 12volt 18 Amphour sealed lead acid.
I also use it on my trolling motor batteries and get a superior charge.
