Schumacher Battery Charger

Any of you guys use one of these? I got one of the XCS15 to use to top of the starting battery and use around the house.
This is the lightest charger i've ever seen--It might weigh a pound but seems like it will work (heck it has a 5 year warranty). Put in on yesterday afternoon about 6 on 2a maintain (battery was at 12.4) and was at 13.0 this morning (about 12 hours) and feed back on this charger would be appreciated.

I've got one at the house. 12/24 volt one. I love it and the only time I got POd at it, it ended up as operator error. Imagine that. LOL I hooked it up to the Start battery and I had accidently flipped my bilge pump switch to on. I let it run for 12 hours to charge and it still wasn't charged. I was getting mad until I saw the bilge switch ON. Turned it off and 5 minutes later it was at a full charge

hahahaha--I hate it when that happens. Glad to here you like it. The last charger I had (for about 10yrs) caused me to buy a couple of new batteries--ended up the charger was bad--I was MAD about that.

Hell of a charger. not sure on that model but Don Shumacher himself gave me one in 1970 and its still going strong.

And you wonder why your bilge pump quit working, the water cools the impeller, no water= no pump.... FYI :)

I hope that's a good brand. I bought a Schumacher Portable Power jump starter today to keep in the boat. Hope it's as good as the Black n Decker was.

I had a 12 volt light system on my hunting cabin so we could turn on lights without starting the generator. In the evenings when we had the generator running the 120 volt stuff, I kept a Schumacher battery charger hooked to my deep cycle battery to recharge. Worked great for years!!!

I've got a Schumacher Solid State 10AMP (6V/12V) Deep Cycle Charger ... Model # SE1012D ... that's probably ~30yrs old, and still works fine. It replaced a Schumacher that got rained on & some of the wires/components got corroded. It was about 10yrs old, at the time.

I've used my Group 27 Everstart Marine battery down to the 30% (charge left) mark ... and the Schumacher brings it back to full charge in 6hrs.

Thanks for the input guys--looks like i got a winner

I had a problem with one that I had owned for sometime and I sent it to the factory and they sent me a new one or fixed the problem, don't remember exactly, but they are alright by me.

cool--I couldn't believe they have a 5 year warranty--that is darn good
