Are my eyes deceiving me, or is this the same charger?

I might not have it today, but for $35, it's not a bad deal. Shipping's
free too.

That one is only 10 amps, but would probably be fine. The one I got at
Walmart looks almost identical except that the charge rates are 2
amps, 10 amps and 15 amps.


Thanks. That order is cancelled. Whew.

I'm going with this one. http://tinyurl.com/2fro5k

I like having the engine start capability. This thing, according to
Schumacher, seems to do it all.

You are making a mistake, but do what you have to do.
A smart charger will be based on a switching power supply design.
I am pretty sure the one you are going with is a conventional, transformer
type charger.

Whoa, back up. Did you read the description of the charger? It's part of
the same line of chargers Salty was showing pictures of.

Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The Schumacher SC-6500A SpeedCharge Automatic Battery Charger is part of
the "SpeedCharge" line of chargers, the state of the art in battery
charging technology. An internal computer controls the charge rate while
monitoring the battery condition to insure the battery is not overcharged.
With SC-6500A electronic technology, you can hook up the battery, set the
controls, and walk away. Your battery will be fully charged in a fraction
of the time required by conventional chargers. When the computer control
determines that the battery is fully charged, the charger is shut off
completely. The SC-6500A SpeedCharge is an automatic battery charger for
12V, deep cycle, gel cell, and AGM batteries.



The SC-6500A monitors itself to prevent overcharging your battery.
Versatile
The SC-6500A will charge batteries for a wide variety of vehicles,
including cars, trucks, RVs, deep cycles, farm equipment, motorcycles, and
lawn tractors. With this charger, you can charge virtually every type of
automotive or light marine battery.

Features
Among its many features, the SC-6500A has a 65 Amp Engine Start for
emergency starting and a 10/20 Amp Fast Charge mode, which is a
self-adjusting, variable charge rate for everyday charging needs and
maintaining your battery in peak condition. While the unit charges, it
automatically desulfates and restores the battery. There is also a 2 Amp
Slow Charge setting for charging and maintaining small batteries such as
motorcycle, ATV, snowmobile, and lawn tractor batteries.

Safe and Convenient
This unit has 125 amp, sure-grip clamps for top and side-mounted battery
posts, an electronic touchpad control, easy-to-select switches for the
digital display, battery type or charge/start functions. Choose from 12
volt regular automotive, 12 volt deep-cycle, 12 volt AGM, or gel cell
batteries. Meanwhile, a built-in digital voltmeter/tester helps diagnose
problems.

The SC-6500A has a black and gray polypropylene case with a retractable
handle, as well as push button controls to select and display charge rates
(65 Amp engine start, 20/10 Amp, 2 Amp) and battery type. There is also a
retractable handle for easy portability and a cord wrap on back.


Okay, now that I've read the detailed description, I'm convinced this
will properly charge a deep cycle battery. My charger actually has the
word SMART on the front panel. I don't see that on the photos of this
one, but the description spells it out.


OK!

Now, if Eisboch will agree, the order will be placed. Then it will be a
unanimous three out of three.

No. I think we need to kick this around a few more times. :-)

Go order your charger. And may the Force be with you.

Wait a minute. Does it say "Smart" on the front?
Or "New Economy Size?"
