Thanks your video is very helpful, I just bought the same one today and I was confused about how to use it until I watched your video, almost everyone had the same question as me, "does it have to be plugged in to use it", and the answer is YES lol.
Got a battery almost a year ago, got super super cold temps that just keep causing my battery to die. Just bought one of these, HOPEfully this will help. Thank you for the video
Yeah it probably a defective battery check to see if it's still under warranty. Alot of batteries have at least a 2 year warranty. Thanks for watching! Hit the subscribe button please!
@@drewsquickfix I’m hoping it’s not an alternator problem, haven’t exactly seen any signs for it but borrowing a coworkers alternator tester just to make sure, the charger worked phenomenally though for real. Definitely happy with this investment. And you got it, buddy. Subscribed.
Have the auto parts store test your alternator. Their tests can be wrong sometimes but do work. If your alternator was really bad it wouldn't recharge the batter at all While the car runs. But it may not be giving full current
@@yungcharg7292 thanks for subscribing I'm trying to get some new videos soon. My phone camera has some issues. So hit the bell also and it will tell you when I post. -cheers
Some videos show that you hook both the positive AND negative clamps to the battery; others show that you SHOULDNT connect the negative clamp to the battery, but to something metal on the engine. Which is correct?
Honestly I'm not sure. For charging I hook up positive and negatives to the battery. For jump starts from car to car I hook up to neutral metal. It is confusing allot of newer cars don't allow contact with the negative terminal on the battery
The Schumacher plugs into the the wall vs a battery box charger which doesn't always have enough power. I have a bad battery and Schumacher charger was able to revive it just enough to move the car until I can buy a new battery. I gave you a shout out in my $45 linoleum at home depot video bad ferry thanks for being a regular. Your awesome! I have some cool projects I'm doing on the pt cruiser and I'm starting to edit videos so they look better. :)

Thanks for watching Shannon. The one I have has a 100amp jumpstart function. It also has a slow charge. Just hook up the battery terminals and let it cycle through fir a few minutes an on 100amp mode.
I love the name wesly pipes ha ha . Halfe Baked is my favorite movie . Dave chapelle is the man!! My charger has a cord you plu in when charging no need to charge before charging the car battery.. But yes if you bought a prtable battery charger you must charge it full before using. Tha ks for watching!! Please subscribe!
I could bit revive a battery that sat for 1 year with no driving. It was 3 years old. So basically if you let a battery fully drain over several mo their can be difficult to bring back to life because the fluids inside have depleted or something like that.
Good question brandy, an alternator can be tested at autoparts stores free. First you have to charge your battery or jumpstart the car for several.minutes. have a friend follow you in their car or your AAA membership ready . If the car quits while your driving it definitally the akternator. Most of the time its the battery and it just needs charging. Average battery lasts 3-4 years
This charging unit has to be plugged in at all times. It's a charger but will jumpstart with 100 amps. I use it all the time because the battery jumpstarters die
This is why I fuck with ya drew I just ordered this charger an then had seconds thoughts about it thanks bro after seeing this it put my mind to rest an the model number is top left it starts with sc12something
Hey two way, lol I'm sorry I didnt give more information on it and how to use it. I am kinda new to doing reviews and working them into my channel. If you want to see details I think you can look at walmart.com. it's a schumacher charger. Has a jumpstart mode and a slow charge mode 30 amps. Very easy to use . Thanks for watching
Can you tell name, model of this ‘great tool’ ? I am not sure what you are saying. Is this jumpstarter, battery charger. Or what? What model, where to buy, how much it costs?
Hey Jake, Did you watch the video I say it in the beginning. I said where to buy it and the cost???? This product is good however I have reviewed other products from schumacher that are not good. I wasn't compensated to do the video. Schumacher did not want to send me items for review in my channel so I won't be doing any more of their products since I paid out of my own pocket and it expensive when your not receiving promotional items. Thanks for watching. Make sure you subscribe for more good videos.
I’ve had issues with this charger overcharging my battery to 16V. It’s known to do weird stuff. Lead acid batteries cannot be left to sit in a drained status. You absolutely must leave it hooked up to a trickle charger or the battery will die and cost you money. Leaving a lead acid in a drained state is basically abuse.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Sometimes the readings can be wrong. I had a bad battery one time and it read fine on a meter. But overall I'd say Schumacher is a decent brand. I mostly use this for jumpstarting at 100v. Yes trickle charge is a great way to save a battery over time
Thanks for the input though. It seems to work pretty good for jump starting at 100 amps. Also there are like 4 different chargers with Schumacher. I dunno. I dont get sponsorship from Schumacher just suggesting it to help others. -cheers and thanks again for commenting
I just bought the same one and I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t use it when I unplugged it. And here it says it has to be plugged in for you to use it but I bought one just like it a couple years ago it was the same exact one except for the other one was a little bigger and it was a portable I did not have to plug it in to use it
Hey kr yeah to charge it definitally needs a plug. Please subscribe and see my new video review of ultra capaticor jumpstart chargers. Wow they work great
Hey ashley yes it has to be plugged in but works alot better than any jump box if your battery is dead and it can fully revive a dead or bad battery for. Longer use. I just use an extension cord.
Drews Quick Fixes Ideas And Hacks Ok, I just purchased one in case my car battery dies in the morning but I will not have an electrical outlet. So it won’t work to jumpstart if it’s not plugged in? Sorry, I’m not good with this stuff! 😂😭
ruclips.net/video/cZcaQVXT0O0/видео.html Ashley you can get one of these it fits in your glovebox. Needs to be charged about every 2 months. Get one that's powerful they have different strengths. No.plugs necessary. Available at walmart and any autoparts stores. This one came from costco. It's not very powerful though but works.
Drews Quick Fixes Ideas And Hacks oh wow, thank you so much! I ended up needing a new battery, but this is something I would like to have for emergency’s :)
Thanks for watching heather. You just clamp the charger to the terminals no need to unconnected the battery. If your car is causing a battery drain from a short or other issue then you may need to disconnect the battery but that rare. Please subscribe for more great content
Ha ha no ignorance for asking. Yes it has to be plugged in. Much more reliable than the battery packs that do dead when you need them the most. You also need an extension cord. Thanks for watching.
Heres a video on they type of charger that works well. You just have to keep it charged abiut every 3 months so its reliable.. ruclips.net/video/cZcaQVXT0O0/видео.html
random as what I'm about to tell you is, but, thank you! Sincerely.. for not smacking your fucking lips like every other video I had to stop watching just to figure out how it supposed to be able to jump start a car yet you have to plug it in to charge the battery. And if it has to be plugged in I digress, sir, you are a scholar enter gentlemen. You get my vote for the medal in badassery! Again, thank you.. Sincerely... I subbed and dropped a like.
Yeah I've always liked Schumacher for plug-in Chargers they're available at Walmart surprisingly I generally don't like products from Walmart the portable jump starters are not Chargers just so you know this will actually fully charge a battery it can also assist with the jump start but has to be plugged in thanks for watching please subscribe
Thanks for watching Gabriel! Running a RUclips channel almost for free isn't easy... part of doing it include being a little chatty some viewers like .it others don't. I try my best thanks for watching -cheers
Because the charger is much easier to just plug in and I dont have to move cars around. Also diesel mercedes batteries use alot more energy to jumpstart and some car batteries won't work as good to jump it. A battery charger is a great tool to own. Thanks for watching please subscribe!!
Drews Quick Fixes Ideas And Hacks I just learned from the Schumacher manual that if the battery is totally dead, using the engine start feature will damage the car’s electrical system, the same as trying to jump start the car without a battery. Good to know! 😀👍
Thanks for commenting could you please elaborate why it is junk? Schumacher is a great brand and has worked wonderful for slow charging and jump starts. I paid $89 for it and it works great. So what's your issue with it?

Does the battery charger have to be plugged up in order to charge the car battery or do you have to have it plugged in every time you use it?
Thanks for watching korah you plug this into an outlet. It has a 100 amp jumpstart button to start a dead battery faster.
How do you use the jumpstart on the Schumacher battery charger??
Thanks for watching Shannon. The one I have has a 100amp jumpstart function. It also has a slow charge. Just hook up the battery terminals and let it cycle through fir a few minutes an on 100amp mode.
Thanks, great video, definitely getting one, oh and love puppies must watch those videos 👍👍

Can you leave the caps on the battery on a standard battery while it charges?
No I would not it won't charge and could cause a fire possibly melt plastic. Good question
How good is it in charging low voltage battery?
I mean how low the battery would be before that charger fails to bring them back?
I could bit revive a battery that sat for 1 year with no driving. It was 3 years old. So basically if you let a battery fully drain over several mo their can be difficult to bring back to life because the fluids inside have depleted or something like that.

This is a Schumacher SC1281 6/12V Fully Automatic Battery Charger and 30/100A Engine Starter with Advanced Diagnostic Testing
Yes you are correct works great!
I have Schumacher do you have 2 keep it plugged in for the charger 2 work
Yes this is a charger not a battery jump box. The cord is fixed. Thanks for watchibg
How do I know if it's the alternator and which setting will fix that issue?

This charger is a wall plug charger it has to be plugged in to charge your battery

Is this about batteries. Or Charger ?
It's a little of both but mostly about the charger. It's a heart thing to have for a jumpstart or a recharge of your battery
Do you disconnect the battery from the car to charge it, or do you just clamp the clamps onto the terminal ends already attached? Thanks.
