Schumacher SC-6500A Automatic Battery Charger.

Excellent product, and the Amazon deal (free shipping and a large price drop) made it a no brainer. The unit is a rugged, very flexible charger from a major company in the business. The de-sulfinization (or is it de-sulfation ?) battery conditioning feature can bring back a battery you would otherwise have to replace (I’ve used it successfully already), and the 65 amp boost mode can start a car with a weak battery that you would otherwise have to jump (used that too.) I’m very satisfied with this unit, it’s light years ahead of anything near the price I paid that I would find at Sears …

Solid, heavy duty charger for a very reasonable price
I finally had to upgrade my old faithful 35-year-old Schumacher 6 amp charger - not because it quit working, but because it didn’t have enough horsepower to handle the big 105 ampere-hour trolling motor battery in my boat. I wanted a higher capacity unit, but with the same solidly built reliability I’ve experienced with my old Shumacher charger. This unit was priced quite a bit less than some other brands with similar capability, so I was a little afraid Schumacher, like many companies, might have gone the “cheap” route with their products by using a lightweight case and cheap components. Not so! I was pleasantly surprised to find this is a solid, heavy, well built charger in the best Schumacher tradition. Well designed with a very stout plastic cabinet with pop-up carrying handle, informative and easy to use front panel controls, and nice features like automatic no-spark battery connecting/disconnecting even if you forget to unplug it first, plus automatic polarity protection, and a looong power cord with a handy place to store the cord. I found only a single minor negative: If I had to change anything about this unit, I’d find a quieter fan. The fan, although it’s pretty loud for it’s size, is at least automatic and only runs when needed, so this is no big deal to me, since I only run it in my shop/garage. Haven’t tried the “start” function, which I consider a more or less useless frill for a charger of this size, but it certainly charges all types of batteries like a champ, and the automatic quick charge/maintenance charge function works great. I highly recommend this great little charger.

Great quality
Works fast and good. This is a great charger. Anybody can use this. The voltmeter and % of battery indicator is nice, I don’t have to check the battery with my multi-meter. Havn’t used the alternator tester yet but have no doubt it works. By far the best charger I’ve seen and used. However it is noisy, but who needs total silence in a garage.
