Schumacher SE-70MA Fully Automatic Deep-Cycle Charger Reviews

It works as advertised. Would be more convenient to use if it had an ON-OFF switch. As it is, On and Off are accomplished by plugging it in and unplugging it.

I've had the LED type chargers and you really don't know if it's working right or not. With this charger and the analog gauge, you always know what's going on.

This review is from: BatteryMINDer Battery Charger / Maintainer with Desulphator - 12 Volt 2/4/8 Amp, Model# 12248 (Misc.)
I did a bit of research before purchasing this product. If you want a quick charge, I have read that your battery won't last as long. For battery life, the ideal charge is low amerage. I appreciate that this charger provides a low amp charge to the battery. I had an older battery charger that I believe prematurely destroyed one of my 12v batteries, so I did my best to find the best value replacement. As a matter of fact, the way I saw the older charger behaving (according to my digital multimeter), I was concerned that it could cause the battery to explode or start a fire. I decided to get a new one. I looked at all of the battery chargers I could find on Amazon and other sites. Eventually, I settled on this particular model for these reasons:
1. Provides a low amperage charge, which is supposed to help prolong battery life. 2. Desulphination mode, which is supposed to help prolong battery life. 3. Safety shutoff features, so that it doesn't overcharge the... Read more

This review is from: BatteryMINDer Battery Charger / Maintainer with Desulphator - 12 Volt 2/4/8 Amp, Model# 12248 (Misc.)
I've been using the small BatteryMinders (the 1.3 Amp maintainers) for the past few years and decided that for some of my larger batteries, especially the deep cycle setup used in conjunction with a set of solar panels, that I needed something that was capable of pushing much more than 1.3 Amps. Enter this product with its 2 / 4 / 8 Amp settings and the ability to automatically reduce the Amp "push" and start cycling the battery (or in my case batteries, as I have 4 large deep cycle batteries connected in parallel) with a maintenance charge.
So far I've been very happy with this product as I have been with the 1.3 Amp BatteryMinder in the past. The construction is solid, a direct-wire connector is included, the ability to connect directly with included clips is great, and there isn't that "it's going to break next week" cheap feel that some of the other competing products have (I bought a used bike and a competing product came with it - now it is hooked up to a BatterMinder...

This review is from: BatteryMINDer Battery Charger / Maintainer with Desulphator - 12 Volt 2/4/8 Amp, Model# 12248 (Misc.)
I installed this for my 4 very large house batteries on my RV. Since it cost about $1800 dollars to replace those batteries I am interested in getting as long a life as possible. It has been in place for about 2 weeks and so far it is doing what I expected. The batteries hold a charge longer than before. This type of battery in Arizona normally lasts about 4 years, and this set is 18 months old and beginning to show its age. But with this device installed they are back to about 95% of what they were when they were new. My only complaint is about the temperature sensor that can be used with the unit, it does not come with the device, but is an extra cost option. I think it should be included since it provides a feature of the device.

In Fast Charge mode, the charger monitors battery condition and adjusts charge rate upward or downward to prevent battery damage for car, truck, marine, RV, and farm equipment batteries. The 5-amp Slow Charge is a medium setting for continuous charging of batteries. A 3-amp Maintenance setting is a trickle setting for charging and maintaining small batteries, such as those for motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles and lawn tractors.
Auto Voltage Detection
The XC103's Auto Voltage Detection automatically selects battery voltage (6V or 12V) and charges properly depending on the type of battery connected.
Fully Automatic Operation
The XC103 automatically switches from Continuous Charge to Float-Mode Monitoring, which allows the charger to maintain the battery when fully charged. The SC-1200A resumes continuous charging when the battery becomes discharged.
Reverse Hookup Protection
Reverse hookup protection safeguards car battery, computer, and other Instant Power uses from damage if the cables are connected to the wrong terminals. The XC103 will cease operation when clamps are reversed or touched together.
Built-In Voltmeter
The XC103 features a built-in voltmeter to help you diganose problems with batteries that are having trouble charging. Save time and take the guesswork out of charging older or damaged batteries.

motorcycle battery charger : Schumacher XC103 SpeedCharge Battery Charger with Engine Start Reviews
This review is from: Schumacher XC103 SpeedCharge Battery Charger with Engine Start (Automotive)
The charger works great at charging up my auto car batteries. For a nearly dead battery (0.9 volts), it did not seem to charge as it should for the initial charge (shut down after a while and said it was at 80% charge). I then charged a 2nd time (actual charge at startup was then 40 %), and it charged it correctly. Most batteries charge within 1.5 hours time for autos. The LED yellow lights are very hard to see in the sunlight (they should change the color of these). My only complaint is that the clamps are low quality (cheap) and they should charge a few more dollars and install heavy duty (stronger) clamps.

I purchased on of these devices to charge up my 12V deep cycle battery in my RV. Sometimes I forget the light on in my RV, and the battery gets almost completely drained (less than 5 volt). I hooked the charger up to the battery, and it thinks the battery is 6V. You cannot manually set the volt - it's auto detected. While this is good in most cases, there are situation where you do want to set the voltage. Also - as someone else mentioned, the LED lights are impossible to see during a sunny day.
Overall - very disappointed that I can't set the voltage. I am going to return this and order something else.

Purchased this for all battery charging on my farm and for the trolling batteries for my boat. This charger is super fast. It automatically tells you what voltage the battery is and what is the percentage of charge on the battery.. Could not ask for a better charger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
