Nice review, I'll check it out at my local Walmart. My "old school" charger needs replacement. Modern technology is safer & easier to use. My schumacher 1500,you reviewed, is a good investment. Thanks Again..
You are welcome. You can save 3 dollars if you buy it on the Walmart website. It is 33 dollars on their website. You can pick it up at the store. Thanks for watching my friend. A battery charger is so handy.

@@pwalpar I gotcha!
Great video buddy tfs
Thanks for viewing my friend.
it has a conditioner in it, it will jolt your battery enough to take a charge. its pretty good in the dead of winter too, used it at the trailer year round
Thanks for the information. I appreciate it. Thanks for viewing. Have a good night.
I have an Everstart battery charger/maintainer, I use it on my riding mower after it has been sitting for a while,I have Schumacher jump pack and the first time I used it the positive clamp came apart and it took a few minutes to put the thing back together,it happened all 3 times I had to use it,I have the exact same battery tester you do,your battery is the same size my truck uses,so far I have had to put 2 Everstart batterys in my car compared to the one Duralast gold I have in my truck,but the Duralast did cost more and guaranteed for more years,but when I need one for the truck I will try an Everstart,I got the truck battery in 2015 and it is still putting out over 12.6 volts not running.
I have never had any problems with the EverStart batteries. The battery in the Chevy Impala is the cheapest battery Walmart sells. It is the Value Power. It is 50 dollars. It has been in the Impala since February 2019, which equates to 2 years 10 months, almost 3 years. It is a 12 month guaranteed battery. It has never failed to start the car.
One good thing about it the 1st battery I got for the car was guaranteed for 2 years, It lasted a little over 3 years I usually Like to get at least 5 years out of a battery, The Duralast gold in my truck is going on 7 years, But like I said it did cost more but when that 1 goes bad and I will get a group 65 batterie from Walmart because that is the one my truck uses.
to get more years out of them, and now put a new battery in there in September this year.
everstarts can freeze like a block and still work. thats why they are for Canadians mostly

You're talking VOTES! I need VOLTS! 😆
But, seriously. I pulled out of my garage with my old Schumacher (purchased in 2009/15 years old) still hooked up to my Beemer & it bounced on the concrete. It's GONE! I love Schumacher. Can you tell me approximately how long the clamps cord is to the unit so I can hang it on the wall and not have to hang it from my hood when I park.
You guys talk funny in Tennessee. (My cousin lives in Nashville.) But, GOOD REVIEW!
They are not that long. I sold this one and bought a battery charger from Tractor Supply that has longer charging cables. If you can park fairly close to the wall it will work. Thanks for commenting. Be sure to subscribe to my channel. Have a pleasant night.
Great video. Can I charge a car battery while the battery is still connected to the car. Meaning can I attach the chargers neg/pos cables into the cars neg/positive posts
Yes. Attach the positive charging cable first. Then, attach the negative. This way you get no spark. Finally, turn the charger on. Thanks for watching. Be sure to subscribe to my channel.
About 6 years a go my brother bring one of these battery charger for me from USA and i plugged it in 220 V power of Afghanistan 🇦🇫. And smoke get out of it 😢
After along time I watched this video.
Yeah, 220 volts would fry this unit. Thanks for viewing and commenting. Be sure to subscribe to my channel.
Thanks for the video. I thought my car would start once I hooked this up, but I can’t get the engine to crank.
This in not a jump starter. This is a battery charger. Thanks for viewing and commenting.
Can I charge the schumacher and then unplug it,take it to my vehicle and jump start that way? I just bought the battery charger last night and need a jump this morbing, but am nowhere near a power outlet, although I can get to one
LOL! The Schumacher is a battery charger not a jump starter. It will charge a battery if it is plugged into a 110 volt receptacle and the two clamps are attached to the battery posts. Thanks for viewing and commenting. Be sure to subscribe to my channel.
Nice review. What does it mean when ot glows to the bad battery tho?
If the battery is bad the unit will not charge it.

Do you always have to have the charger plugged in? Or can you charge it up and is portable
The charger works off 110 volts. To charge a battery it has to be plugged into a receptacle.
Pretty good review, I was thinking about carrying it around behind my seat instead of jumper cables, I don't like hooking up other people's dead cars to my alternator, also if I was ever out and about, hotel, etc and my battery died it would be nice to have it on board as well, my question I guess would be how long would it take to charge someone's battery if they went into the store and they came out and it was dead, I can't see it being too far discharged, it should only take about 10 to 15 minutes?
If the battery is not completely dead, you could use the 8 amp charge mode and it would probably charge it enough in 20 to 25 minutes to start the automobile; however, this is a charger, not a jump starter, so you would need to plug this unit into a 110 volt receptacle to charge a battery. You need a jump starter behind your seat, not a battery charger. Thanks for commenting. Be sure to subscribe to my channel, if you haven't already. Have a good night.
@@BigOvlogger That's what I needed to know, I just want to know if it'll bring a relatively dead battery back in 10 or 15 minutes. My truck has the generator in the he bed, so this would be perfect.
Ziggy, it is a good charger. I did not have any problems with it. I now have a Traveller charger that I bought from Tractor Supply. Thanks for the comments. I think it might.
Does it have to be plugged in the wall to work? The green light did not come on when I went to use it.
Yes, it has to be plugged in to work. This is a charger that charges the battery. This is not a jump starter. Thanks for commenting. Be sure to subscribe to my channel. Have a good day.
Question does the charger have to be plugged into an electrical socket before hooking up to a remote car battery or not I want something that I can use without having to be plugged into an electrical socket on the road.
If you are stuck on the road with a dead battery, you need a jump starter. A jump starter will boost your dead battery and instantly allow you to start the automobile. One of the best jump starters is the JNC 660 that is manufactured by Clore Automotive.
So mine is hooked up currently, the charging light is on and the “bad battery “ light is on, the battery is literally like 4 months old. Do you think that it’s simply saying the battery is bad, until it finishes charging?
I would take the battery to Autozone, Advance, or O'Reilly and have them test the battery. More than likely, it isn't the battery because it is only 4 months old. Let me know what the outcome is. Thanks for watching and commenting. Be sure to subscribe to my channel.
@@BigOvlogger thanks man. I subbed. I ended up unplugging the unit, plugging it in again, and hitting the start button again. It's now been on (again) for about two hrs and the "bad battery" light hasn't lit up again thus far.
@@esfwr17 Hopefully it was just a glitch and the battery will charge.
How long does the battery last once fully charged??
The car battery will last until it goes bad. No one knows that answer. Thanks for watching and commenting. Be sure to subscribe to my channel. Have a good day.
Can this be a used as a trickle charger too?
This is an 8 amp charger. Any charger 6 amps or higher is a rapid charger. If could be used as a trickle charger because it is a smart charger that reduces the amount of charge when the battery is complete. I would buy a 1 amp dedicated trickle charger if I were you. You can get one for about $15 to $20 online. Thanks for commenting. Be sure to subscribe to my channel. Have a good day.
So it was plugged in so I have the wrong remote battery charger, I want one that doesn't need to be plugged into a socket to charge a car battery stuck on the road can you suggest One that will?

I have this charger and it has ruined several batteries due to overcharging at too high of a voltage. Usually this charger charges at 15+ volts. It’s always been terrible and it’s never worked correctly.
Up to 15 volts is okay. If a battery is really low, it will start out charging about 15 volts and slowly reduce the voltage until the battery is fully charged. Over 15 volts is not good. Thanks for commenting and for the information. Be sure to subscribe to my channel. Have a good day.
@@BigOvlogger yep you are correct but it would stay at 15+ volts consistently no matter what battery you put it on. I think it would start out in some kind of sulfation mode but it killed silver batteries.
@@gmsgabaradamaba4064 The charger I have now is a Traveller charger from Tractor Supply.
I bought one brand new and i charged it for the whole day i connected it to my car battery and it was not working… should it not start instantly? It was 40$ so i assume it takes a long time to charge the battery
LOL! This is a battery charger not a jump starter,
@@BigOvlogger ohhhh!!!! I thought it was a jump starter, because it doesnt advertise on the box or the manual that i have to leave it plugged into the battery
@@BigOvlogger i really have no idea about these car troubles and the damn box and manuals never said anything about leaving it on my car battery overnight, otherwise i would of never bought it… im beyond stressed with this battery issue which im going to change this friday
I buy the $54 Value Power batteries at Walmart. They have a 1 year warranty but have last me 2 1/2 years to 3 for everyone I have bought. Thanks for watching. Be sure to subscribe to my channel. Have a good night.
No problem. You can get a refund with the receipt.
Does this charger charge agm batteries
Yes. 👍 It will charge agm, lead acid batterie, lithium. Thanks for viewing. Be sure to subscribe to my channel. Have a good day!
Can I use the charger while the battery is still in the car?
Yes, you can use it while it is in the car. The unit is an automatic charger and will stop charging when the battery is fully charged. Thanks for watching. Be sure to subscribe to my channel.
@@BigOvlogger does it have to be plugged into the socket??
@Jitts Tv Yes, it has to be plugged into a 110 volt receptacle to charge a battery. Thanks for viewing my video. Be sure to subscribe to my channel. Have a good day.

You didn't say if you had to plug the charger into the electrical outlet
If someone doesn’t know to plug the charger into the receptacle, they should not be using the charger to begin with and they should not be allowed to drive a vehicle on public roadways.
