Its easy-to-read LED indicators show battery charge status at a glance. This unit is also energy efficient. Multi-stage, automatic charging for 6V and 12V batteries Multiple Charging Modes Microprocessor-controlled to automatically adjust amperage rate. In 6-amp Fast Charge mode, the charger monitors battery condition and adjusts charge rate downward to prevent battery damage for car, small truck, motorcycle, and lawn tractor lead-acid and AGM battery types. The 3-amp Medium Charge is a self-adjusting charge rate that's ideal for everyday charging needs and for keeping your battery in peak condition. Sturdy, Built-In Handle The built-in handle serves as convenient cord wrap for the 50-amp clamps and power cord, in addition to providing easy portability. Microprocessor Controlled Microprocessor Controlled Technology with multi-stage charging lets the Schumacher SC-600A-CA deliver added precision, safety, and battery life. This technology lets you charge your motorcycle, car, or utility vehicle batteries up to 2x faster than using conventional chargers. Fully Automatic Operation The SC-600A-CA automatically switches from Continuous Charge to Float-Mode Monitoring, which allows the charger to maintain the battery when fully charged. The SC-600A-CA resumes continuous charging when the battery becomes discharged.

Purchased this charger but when I removed it from the box I was very skeptical about its quality, it seemed too lightweight. Once I hooked the device to a battery I had in an old Mustang that had been sitting around forever and had absolutely no charge in it the device went into its repair mode. Its built in micro-chip recognized that my battery had such a low charge that the plates inside of battery had become sulfated so it automatically switched from my setting of a regular 10 amp char..
I purchased the product from Walmart for about $30.00. I purchased it as a compliment to a more powerful but not automatic charger I already have. My main purpose is to keep boat batteries charged during the off season. After reading the instructions and hooking it up it went through the charging and stopping cycles as indicated in the user's manual. All of the indicator lights worked as stated in the manual. So far I have charged two batteries. I hooked them..
