- Schumacher Electric #SE-82-6 6/2A Dual Rate Charger
- SCHUMACHER ELECTRIC
Well, I'm amazed to find this item listed in Amazon. I bought a Schumacher Electric Dual Rate Charger in the mid-80s and it's the same model number and everything. The only difference would seem to be that the face plate on it is slightly changed and shows different colors. Otherwise, all the specs and all the numbers are the same. I bought this charger at a time when I was a single person and I had two cars. I'd keep one in the garage and use the other one, sometimes for weeks in a row. Well, the one in the garage would develop a dead battery. I finally bought this charger, because it was otherwise so difficult to get the one with the dead battery started. The charger worked well and I used it for about 10 years. As it turned out, I think that one of the cars (a Datsun 280Z) had a small electrical leak that was draining the battery. In any case, this handy little charger kept things going. Then later (around the mid 1990s) I went back to using only one car (a new Toyota pickup) and the charger has largely been gathering dust since that time. Well, a couple times I bailed out some neighbors with dead batteries. This charger works real well, a car with a dead battery will start only after a very short period of charging. In any case, its been a real good thing to have around the garage and I'm quite pleased with it. A WORD OF WARNING, if I may. My charger was made in the USA and I'd give it a good recommendation. If the new ones are Made in China, well I don't know what to tell you.
