Review: Out the box ready and working - 7/27/28 I needed this as an emergency backup to what I already had in the garage to charge my vehicle batteries. I can say this is a HUGE improvement over what I already owned. What I like most is that beyond the fact of it's charging capabilities, it's: * light weight * Displays the actual percentage of the charge process * displays the voltage * automatically cycles through each of the relevant readings - removing the guess work * the start/stop button - which means you don't have to just unplug to turn off * clamp cords are long, providing greater flexibility in moving the charger This is a model I truly appreciate and just may purchase a second one to have readily available in the other garage. Given the size, it will be easy to store. Review: Great charger - Fantastic little charger for my purpose. Works great as a battery management charger for my mower. Plenty sufficient for a car battery as well. It’s light and compact with heavy insulation on the tables and clamps. ## Features - PREVENT BATTERY FAILURE: Ensure reliable starts after storage with this 4-in-1 device that charges, maintains, tests, and restores batteries for cars, motorcycles, ATVs, trucks, SUVs, and boats. - REVIVE DEAD BATTERIES: Delivers 15A rapid charging power to keep standard, AGM, gel, and deep-cycle batteries healthy, making it the perfect garage upgrade for seasonal or infrequently used vehicles. - EASY OPERATION: Microprocessor controlled with auto voltage detection and smart trickle charging technology for a seamless charging experience. - MULTI-FUNCTION VALUE: Maximize battery life and performance with advanced desulfation mode, automatic voltage detection for 6V and 12V batteries, and multi-stage charging algorithms. - COMPLETE PACKAGE: Includes (1) SC1280 Battery Charger and Maintainer, (1) user manual - SCHUMACHER LEGACY: Schumacher Electric has manufactured quality automotive power products since 1947—a legacy of reliability you can count on when it matters most ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0797KK3N2 | | Amperage | 15 A | | Battery Charge Time | 10 hours | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,245 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #17 in Battery Chargers | | Brand | Schumacher Electric | | Built-In Media | Battery Charger | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | 6V and 12V batteries (standard, AGM, gel, and deep-cycle) | | Connector Type Used on Cable | Alligator Clips | | Current Rating | 15 A | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 9,574 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00026666812801 | | Input Voltage | 120 volts | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 9.13"D x 9.25"W x 3.5"H | | Item Type Name | 15A 6V/12V Fully Automatic Battery Charger and Maintainer | | Item Weight | 2.7 pounds | | Manufacturer | Schumacher Electric | | Mfr Part Number | SC1280 | | Model Number | SC1280 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Ports | 2 | | Output Voltage | 12 volts | | Product Dimensions | 9.13"D x 9.25"W x 3.5"H | | Specification Met | UL 1236, FCC, DOE, Prop 65 | | UPC | 026666812801 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 Year Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Schumacher Electric - **Color:** Black - **Item Weight:** 2.7 pounds - **Output Voltage:** 12 volts - **Product Dimensions:** 9.13"D x 9.25"W x 3.5"H ## Images ![Schumacher Electric 15A Car Battery Charger & Maintainer, 6V/12V – SC1280 | 3A Trickle Charge, Restores Batteries, Fully Automatic & Microprocessor Controlled – Power Sport, Auto, Marine Batteries - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71KddDOBX2L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How do I turn on this device?** A: Plug the power cord into a 120V AC household plug. **Q: What battery types can the SC1280 be used on?** A: The SC1280 can be used on gas and diesel vehicle batteries, 6V or 12V, including standard, AGM, gel, and deep-cycle battery types. **Q: Can this charge a lithium deep-cycle marine battery?** A: No, the SC1280 can not charge lithium but it can charge a non-lithium deep-cycle marine battery. **Q: Which option do you use to charge deep-cycle batteries?** A: To charge deep-cycle batteries, select the AGM battery type. **Q: Does this product have voltage detection?** A: Yes, the unit will display the battery voltage percentage when connected. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Out the box ready and working *by S***. on July 27, 2026* 7/27/28 I needed this as an emergency backup to what I already had in the garage to charge my vehicle batteries.
