    Great charger, got here just in time, left a light on in my car the night before and had a dead battery. Took it right out of the package and used the start mode option. Car started right up, didnt have to wait for it to charge like the old style chargers. Great price, more than satisfied. Thanks

    Alright, should gone with automatic unit

    Lacked current to start my car (RE Engine), but seems fine for other applications.

        We use this thing to charge our battery bank at our off-grid cabin. I've used it once and it worked great! Charged the batteries in half the time it took with the 10 year old charger I had been using.

              Comments about Schumacher 200-Amp Manual Battery Charger:

              This charger is all that I expected it to be. It was easy to put together and it handled the job that it was purchased for. I could not have purchased a better product. It had the power to provide for my needs. It fired right up and did the job when hooked up to the battery. It did not take very long to get the motor running on a cold damp day that was not fit for man nor beast. I would recommend this charger to anyone that is looking for a compact but powerful charger to place in your list of tools to use at home.

                Went to feed cows hay one mourning and diesel tractor would not start. Hooked my battery charger up and it would not charge. Looked at chargers on internet at Advance and purchased this one online. Picked up at local store about an hour later. Saved $24 buying online. Cows and I are both happy with product.

                        On 10/11/2012 I asked you the below question. Your response is below mine. However you DID NOT ANSWER my question. The box and the manual in the box indicates THREE years. Again, your answer is non-responsive to the situation. You did not even address the fact that the product indicates three years. Obviously very confusing to me. Your answer did not provide an explanation.

                        "The box that this SE4020 came in indicates 3 Year warranty. My receipt indicates 2 Year, and in an answer above you indicate 2 Years. How can the box advertise 3 years? I'd like to know what my real warranty is. I just purchased this today (Oct 11, 2012)."

                        will this charger charge a semi-truck battery?
