schumacher SC-600A

For our 3rd product review we are looking at the Schumacher SC-600A SpeedCharge Battery Charger. We are putting this 3rd because it is the best choice if you cannot or do not want to pay more for the Clore Jump Starter.

Obviously the Clore JNC660 is the best choice but if you are looking for something that will get the job done that does not break the bank the Schumacher SC-600A Battery Charger is probably your best bet.

The Schumacher SC-600A is an automatic battery charger that can actually charge twice as quickly as other conventional chargers. You can also swap between 6, 4, and 2 amp charging modes to charge and maintain a battery. You will also find the 50-amp clamps are compatible with both top and side mounted battery posts.

You also get LED indicators with the jump starter that will show you the battery charge status at a glance.

The charging modes are 2- amp, 4- amp and 6-amp with the 6-amp being the fast charging mode.

The charger will also monitor the battery condition and adjust the –amps up or down depending on how the charging is going and the health of the battery. Because of this you can use this charger to not just jump start your vehicle but use it to give your battery a health check and keep it in peak condition. Using the 2- amp charging mode you can even maintain small batteries such as those for motorcycles, snowmobiles and lawn tractors.

This makes the  Schumacher SC-600A SpeedCharge High Frequency Battery Charger very versatile!

The jump starter will give you switches that you can use to swap between the charge rate and the battery type. As mentioned above you can select between 6- or 12-volt batteries and Slow, Medium or Fast charge.

You also get a sturdy handle for transport and this doubles up so you can wrap the cord around it for easy storage.

The SC-600A is fully automatic which means it will swap between continuous charge to float mode monitoring which will allow the charge to maintain the battery once it is fully charged.

Conclusion:

If you don’t want to go for the Clore JNC660 for cost then we recommend the Schumacher SC-600A as a close second. Although it does not give you quite as much power the speed charge option is good and the fact that it is full automatic means you will be able to charge most vehicle batteries.

We also like the fact that it is versatile and if you turn the settings down to low charge you can charge the battery of smaller vehicles.

Another thing that makes this jump starter VERY appealing is that you can pick it up for JUST $31.65 which will save you 50% off of the recommend price!

Mary Farell:

I purchased the product from Walmart for about $30.00. I purchased it as a compliment to a more powerful but not automatic charger I already have. My main purpose is to keep boat batteries charged during the off season. After reading the instructions and hooking it up it went through the charging and stopping cycles as indicated in the user’s manual. All of the indicator lights worked as stated in the manual. So far I have charged two batteries. I hooked them up in the evening, the indicator light showed they were at about 75% charge. By morning they were fully charged and the charging cycle had stopped.   Read More.

By Brookworld:

Schumacher’s basic charger – 6V or 12V, 2A, 4A & 6A charge rate. Automatic charger that charges, then goes to maintenance mode. Their more expensive chargers have higher charge rates (10A & higher) and additional built-in metering like voltmeter to test state of charge, etc.
I am using it exclusive for my 2 cars in the winter. Went on vacation and returned 6 days later to find the car wouldn’t start when the trunk lid (truck light) was left open. With regular below 32 degree weather in the winter in Wash DC, bought this to maintain the 2 car batteries. After jump starting my wife’s car, decided to buy this to charge the battery and monitor battery condition (can’t leave her stranded or home alone with a dead car battery). Read More
