Answered exactly what I needed to know. Quick, clean, n simple. I have this same charger but didn't know what the led battery indicator meant on it
Thanks beanzthegreat! Glad to hear it helped and thank you for watching!
Good, clear explanation how to use the Schumacher Charger. Based on your review/how to I will purchase this product today. Thank You!
Glad to hear it helped Malcom and thanks for watching!
Thank you for the information
You're welcome 25ybot!
Got the Grey one you started with...nice
That's awesome Dennis! It been working good for a long time now!
Thanks so much!
You're welcome herrcobblermachen!
I would recommend attaching the negative cable to the frame instead of the negative part of the battery. I hooked mine up to the battery and after a second it gave me the “bad battery/clamps reversed” and the battery started to make a sizzling noise. Hooked it up to the frame and had no problems. Many other videos I found suggested hooking it up to frame as well.
Hi Chase! Yes follow the manufacturer instructions that came with your unit (Do as I say not as I do LOL) Cheers!
Thank you I thought the charger has a maintain on it. Do you still need the other maintain charger?
Hi Monita! Yes this one does have the maintainer function. You won't need the smaller one. I have the smaller one because it's convenient to have it hook up to the car with the quick disconnect that I showed towards the end of the video. But you should be fine with only one this one, hope this answers your question and thanks for watching!
The SC600 charger is also a maintainer. I only purchase Schumacher products as their chargers and live technical customer support are awesome!
Hi MRA! I'm not familiar with the SC600 but yes I had great results with this brand both with the SC1303 and the SP3 I review before here ruclips.net/video/C1LapUB7bXo/видео.html Cheers!
I’ve never used a battery charger and I wanted to ask if you have to charge the battery charger itself before you use it
Hi IM-VERY-BAD-AT -MW! This battery chargers needs to be plugged in to your wall outlet in order for it to charge your battery. If you are looking for a jump starter, they do have those in rechargeable versions, here is a good one amzn.to/33RHf9o Hope this helps and thanks for watchin bud!
Thank you for the amazing explanation. I believe the best is just to buy a new battery
You're welcome Joy!
Thanks for the video, for long term (2 months ) with. A have a Schumacher microprocessor 6 amps charger is it good even if I not disconnect the battery on the car
You're welcome Christian!
@@AlexAutoFun is it good to maintain charging the battery for few months with disconnect to cable
Some videos mentioned not connecting the negative to the battery like you did in this video. They ground it on the chassis of the car. What's your opinion on that?
Hi NoneYa Business! (cool screen name btw! lol) Yes I heard of that too, which is a common practice when jump starting a car. I like to follow the manufacturers recommendation, in this case the instructions that came with the charger indicate to connect directly to the battery terminals. Hope this answers your question friend!
@@AlexAutoFun LOL Thank you, definitely I try to do the same.
@@noneyabusiness1359 You're welcome!
I tried not putting it on the battery but it wouldn't charge...
@@AlexAutoFun the instructions that came with the same exact product says to connect onto ground and non-grounded terminal
A demonstration to accompany the review would be nice.
Hi chordarrow1! you can see the demonstration at the 3:48 mark, hope this helps bud! (we are working back on all of our videos to add chapters to them)
@@AlexAutoFun thank you
@@chordarrow1 You're welcome bud!
I have a die hard lead acid deep cycle battery for my boat do I use the standard or agm setting?
Hi Quedog KU alum...! I use the lead acid setting for all Lead Acid batteries and I use AGM only for Absorbent Glass Mat batteries. Hope this helps and thanks for watching bud!
Got one about a yr ago it charged several lawn mower batteries, then stopped working all together. Can't find the internal fuse(if there even is one) because there is no reaction when first plugged in.
Hi Sam! I think I did see a fuse on the inside of my older version, I will pop this one open to see if I can see a fuse or something and If I do I will let you know...
@@AlexAutoFun nevermind I took it back and got a new one it was still under warranty. thanks for doing that and it may come in handy down the road. 👍
@@moss8448 You're welcome Sam, glad to hear they took care of that for you!
Battery is out of the car, both positive & negative are on correct terminals, but I have a solid yellow and solid red light. Does this mean that the charger is in fact charging the battery?
Hi NorShortJess! You should have a green light if it's charging the battery. Also if you take a look at your manual (Page 5 if I remember correctly) you can see the meaning of the LED status lights. Hope this helps, Cheers!
I have the same charger. I was charging my totally dead battery in my truck. I left it on a trickle charge and went to work. When I came back the battery was still dead. What had happened was the truck has a sensor that turns off the lights automatically. This sensor bought the farm and that charger kept charging all that time. (while the headlights were still not going off) I looked at the charger and it was on but not charging. I didn't know about the bad light sensor at the time. I have a better charger coming today. Live and learn is all I can say.
Hi Rob! thanks for sharing this tip bud!
Do you have any reviews of the 6A sc1320
Hi Jon, no I don't have that one but I will add to the list for items to review bud!
Why would you have one for maintaining if it's supposed to do both? Maintain and charge
Hi rosco83! It's cheaper to have one that can do both (maintainer and charger) however there are some advantages to also owning a stand alone maintainer: They are cheaper than a charger maintainer, they support a quick disconnect where the charger needs the full size alligator clips, they typically do not generate noise since there is no fan & they consume less energy which means they can be left on 24/7 for cars that need to have their battery monitored (my cars sit for months at a time without being used) Here is the maintainer so you can see the differences ruclips.net/video/C1LapUB7bXo/видео.html Hope this helps, Cheers!
Does this charger work for regular deep cycle batteries (not AGM deep cycle)
Hi Dancer! According to the Schumacher listing, it supports deep cycle batteries, I placed a link to in the video description if needed. Cheers!
Do I need to plug the charger while I connected to the batety? Thank you
Hi Teo! Correct, the charger needs to be plugged in order to charge the battery. If you are looking for a portable battery jump starter here is a good one ruclips.net/video/xk_Md3ugVvo/видео.html Cheers!
Is this thing supposed to be plugged into the wall and the car at the same time? You kind of skipped over like basically everything in the use other than plugging it to the battery and not explaining if it came charged or if you have to charge it or what to do with the wall plug
Hi! This is just a charger maintainer which means it does have to be plugged in to AC to maintain the battery. If you are looking for a rechargeable solution you want a Portable Jump Starter like this one ruclips.net/video/6MoYjolrg-Y/видео.html Cheers!
How long do these battery chargers last before you have to get a new one?
Hi Carrtex! My previous one (shown on the video) still going strong, so I'm thinking the SC1303 will also last as long (many years but will update this comment if something changes) Hope this helps, Cheers!
I charged my battery for ten hours.when it was done thecharger red light stayed on.this mean the battery is no good?
Hi Stephan! correct, assuming the leads are not reversed, according to the manual if the red light stays on, there may be an issue with the battery. Most local autoparts stores offer free battery testing (using more advanced equipment). May be worth a shot double checking it with them before changing it out. Hope this helps and thanks for watching bud!
Can I use this to plug in and start the engine?
Hi Neuro! nope this only a battery charger, however here is a portable jump starter for those cases ruclips.net/video/6MoYjolrg-Y/видео.html Hope this helps and thanks for watching bud!
Does this work if the battery is not connected to a vehicle?
Hi Emme, yes this battery charger can charge the battery even when the battery is not connected to a vehicle.
Do you have to plug it in for it to charge the battery?
Hi Keira C.! yes the charger has to be plugged in to be able to charge the battery.
@@AlexAutoFun I think she means the AC outlet from the charger plugged in, which is not supposed to be plugged in while charging.
@@mikemowr8982 you don't know what you are talking about. It has to be plugged into the wall while charging.
@@JuarezDerrick Youre right, it does have to be plugged in with this cheap model.
@@mikemowr8982 im so confused....ok do i have to plug the charger in the wall before i use it because it has a plug. or do it have to be plugged in the wall in order to charge my battery....i actually thought it holds a charge in order to use it....think im gonna Return it back to WALMARTS....I NEED A JUMP STARTER...PLEASE, SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME...IM CONFUSED😕
What does it mean when the charge light blinks after pluging in and attaching to the battery?
Hi Randy! if it's the green LED is pulsing then it means that the battery is fully charged. If the green LED is flahsing it means it is not charging, battery could be too low or damaged internally. Hope this helps and thanks for watching bud!
Does this need to be plugged in while charging?
Hi Joshua! yes this charger needs to be plugged in order to charge the battery. If you are looking for a portable battery jump started here is a good one ruclips.net/video/6MoYjolrg-Y/видео.html Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun Thanks!
@@JMD0086 You're welcome!
@@AlexAutoFun I was going to ask the same question. I bought this because I assumed I could use it over the road. We'll I used it on my car today. The battery was dead. I just connected everything except for the plug because there wasn't one around. Guess what it worked. Any idea why it still worked without plugging it in? The LEDs didn't come on but It gave my car the ability to start. I think it possibly worked because it had enough power in the charger to give my car life without needing to plug it in but I don't know. I just know it worked.
@@1gabemid Hi Dan! Yep I seen that before, the unit sometimes will come on or stay on briefly (when the alligator clips are connected and the wall plug is not connected) since it's pulling power from the car's battery instead of the wall outlet. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Como puedo usar el schumacher sc 1358
Hola Minoru kameta! si te metes al lugar del internet the Schumacher, ahi puedes descargar el manual para usar tu SC1358. Espero esto ayude y Saludos desde California!
Looks nearly identical to NAPA 6 amp.
Hi Bill! interesting, I haven't tested the Napa but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a rebrand, which is common with NAPA rebranding certain products under their on label (typically really good brands too) which is the reason I prefer NAPA over Autozone or Pepboys parts, just way better quality...
even at 10amps it can take a long time depending how big the battery is and how much discharged i have left them on 2 days 😂 , sometime it shows green and is maintaining and all of a sudden fails and battery only charged to 11v so battery no good, also needs more lights to let u know why it has failed, instrucctiins are no good on why is has failed.
Hi SlackerIndustry! Yeah it definitely depends on battery size and health. At 10A, a battery with 300 CCA will charge in about 3 hrs where a battery with 1000 CCA will take aprox 7hrs. Now this assumes the battery was at about 50% discharged level, the larger the battery and the lower the state charge the longer it takes. I'm also testing a few advanced battery diagnose tools, stay tuned for those videos and thanks for watching bud!
