Opinion on this Battery Charger.

It's a Schumacher Ship'N Shore 10 AMP Battery Charger, only choice you have when using it is auto or manual but the price looks too good to be true. Anyone have one??

i have a schumacher sc7500a, cost 70ish at walmart, shows alternator reading, voltage, % of charge, small, regular, deep cycle batteries, fully automatic, plus 75 amp starting circuit. similar to this one. it's really a good one.

Schumacher Makes good automatic chargers. I have 2 20 year old 10 amp automatics that I use 90 percent of the time.

Also have and newer one that is 25/12/2 amp automatic simular to above.
It has all the voltage readings, amp readings, alternator test. I do not use it very often but it works great.

I myself am not a fan of the 50 to 75 amp starting circuits. There probably ok but I do not trust it to not spike some electronics or my alternator.

That is why I bought the one with the 25 amp charger. Will charge enough to start any auto or boat in less than 5 minutes.

I have had my Ship 'n Shore about 6 months, however the first on I got broke (stopped charging) within a week, but the store exchanged it without a problem. It's a good charger for the price in my opinion, it charges each battery in about 5-6 hours and cuts off after charging in auto mode, in case you forget it won't fry the battery. Just remember to keep the receipt!

Re: Opinion on this Battery Charger.

I don't believe these chargers have a float charge so you can't leave them on indefinitely...at least the literature on them doesn't seem to state it. I like the Vector chargers becuase of the float feature. They are also true 3 stage chargers.

Look at ebay 160208168286. I would get that one.
