    I have that very same unit! Works great. My brother took his back, his went into reconditioning mode and almost boiled the battery dry. Excellent video! 🇨🇦

    Thanks so much! I purchased the same battery charger and needed to see someone use it before attempting. Your instructions were great and your added note about taking the car for a run was excellent advice. I am about to try to charge my completely dead battery and hope it works. Thanks again.

    The video was helpful. I couldn't figure out how to switch from 3 amp to 15 and lost the owners manual. I've had the same problem with the unit stalling at 80%, sometimes 90% even though the battery is fully charged. It keeps charging even in float and doesn't stop until I stop it. It is a problem and could damage the battery so I never leave the charger on without supervision and constant monitoring. It seems to work better in snowflake mode and is easier on the batteries.

    Thank you for this video. I just bought the Schumer 1000 jump starter battery and has no indicators for anything. Frustrating bc I have no idea what's going on. Gonna go exchange it for this one.

    You screwed up "immediately" first thing "out of the box". Always connect positive RED cable first thennnn negative BLACK. Less chance of sparking, etc. (Remove the cables in reverse, BLACK first...when REMOVING the cables)

      They weren't energized yet. It doesn't matter.

    Why not tell them, when you are going to the 15amp mode, that is a considered "Rapid Charging Mode". Geeezzzz.
