Schumacher XC6 SpeedCharge 6 Amp Battery Charger

• 6 ampere fast charge and 2 ampere slow charge
• The charger automatically determines whether the connected battery is a 6 volt battery or a 12 volt battery

Picked one of these up last weekend as I had a rather large dead car battery in a vehicle that hadn't been driven in a few months.

The manual covers several different models but shouldn't confuse most anyone.

A red light comes on at the battery connection symbol to show you have it connected correctly

A yellow charging (lightning bolt) light comes on once you select a charge rate (turtle/rabbit symbols).

A green battery level light comes on once the battery is fully charged. It won't light up until it is finished charging.

I let the battery charge overnight and it indicated a full charge the next day. Battery has been working fine in vehicle for a week since charging.

It has a built-in fan that kicks on while charging. Not loud, but does make audible sound.

I picked this model due to good reviews of the Schumacher brand, and the fact that it has temperature sensor and will go to a trickle charge when the battery is full thanks to the microprocessor control. I certainly didn't want to boil out what was probably still a good battery with an old style "dumb" charger. Automatically desulfates the battery which is good too.

I hope to get many years of occasional use out of the device.

I'd recommend it.

Buy Schumacher XC6 SpeedCharge 6 Amp Battery Charger Now

All my battery chargers were lent to son-in-laws who never returned them. This time I was glad. I lucked out and got this one for $21 at Walmart. Supposedly if you put the clips on the wrong terminal nothing will happen or it you touch the clips together. Well I am not brave or stupid enough to try it so I do not know.

If the clips are on the right post you will get an idiot light telling you so. It is only when the clips are on properly that it will start supply juice to the battery. The charger does the usual charge and shut off when done or maintain the battery. You can select between different batteries by pushing the button. I charged a lawn tractor battery. It shows red when it is dead, and green when it is good to go. It is pretty idiot proof for this idiot.

Want Schumacher XC6 SpeedCharge 6 Amp Battery Charger Discount?

I've been using this product for about 6 months and it has performed each time I used it. I do quite a bit of fishing and the batteries I use need to be recharged as close as possible after their use to keep them in peak shape. The charger has 2 modes, a slow and a fast charge. I use both modes and each perform as I need them to. I would recommend this product to those RV'ers, boaters and the like.

Early AM two coughs and no start. That night after two great Jake's Wayback cheeseburgers, went to buy battery at 10pm at an open Walmart, lowest was over $80 dollars.

Saw this Schumacher XC6 on the shelf there for under $30.00, and they have a 90 day return policy.

In the morning, saturday, connected it to my battery. My neighbor does lots of work on his car, and told me I could safely leave the battery fully connected to the regular wires in the car, while charger is attached. It's the original battery on the 1993 BMW that has 230,000 miles on it already. The manual of the charger said it would take 3 to 4 hours on the speediest setting, which I used since I figured I might have to have the car towed to mechanic, or such. Checked it after just 90 minutes. Wow, all done!

Everything was just fine, the charger lights showed power on, and that the battery was ALREADY done charging, with the green done indicator. I unplugged all, put the key in and turned the ignition. The battery cranked loud and fast and the car started up beautifully.

Don't think twice, buy it, enjoy it. This thing is cool. Thank you Schumacher for making this great, and affordable. Thank you Walmart for stocking it and staying open late. Walmart owners give almost nothing in charity compared to great owners like Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, and Mayor Bloomberg who works for $1 a year and gives millions and millions to worthy charities. Walmart owners should wake up and give back to the US.
