4.0 out of 5 stars Good Choice For Antique Car Owners, October 11, 2007

By	Gaston C. Barmore (Houston,Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This little charger works equally well when charging and maintaining both 6 and 12 volt automotive batteries. It's a good choice for maintaining batteries in cars which are driven only on special occasions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Same as the one offered by Sharp Image, August 6, 2007

By	Edison "hightech lover" (United States) - See all my reviews

It can charge both 6V and 12V batteries, with different amp selection. Different from some of the older style charger, this one will automatically shutoff when charge is full. So you can plugin, clamp on, turn on and walk away doing other things. Never worry about overcharge the battery.

It is light weight and great tool to have, if you have a lot of batteries around. We use it to charge and check the batteries for the large UPS power supplies in our office. Properly maintained battery can extend its life so much, worth many times the cost of this charger.

3.0 out of 5 stars SC-600A Speed Charge on small batteries, April 3, 2008

By	Henry Choy (San Mateo, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I used this charger on 7 to 9 amp/hour batteries. At first it charged the batteries fine but I started to notice that when charging at 2 amps it wouldn't register as fully charged sometimes. It would stay to 4 bars but not go to the charged light even after a longer than normal time. I would change to 4 amps and then it would be fully charged. I worry that it may be overcharging some batteries.

I also noticed that it couldn't read some 6 volt rechargable lantern batteries (4.5 amp/hour). This is the main reason I bought this charger. I have a automated Schumacher 1.5 amp charger and thought well of the company, that is why I wanted to buy another Schumacher.

The charger seems to work fine on larger batteries automotive or motorcycle, so it is good for that.
