Unlike generic competitors, Schumacher’s microprocessor-controlled technology automatically adjusts the amperage rate to maximize charging, providing a custom charge rate for compatible batteries, including standard, AGM, gel, and deep-cycle batteries. The SC1280’s rapid 15-amp 12V charge to get you back on the road quickly, but it also features a 3A maintain mode to ensures your battery stays at optimal levels without overcharging. For 6V batteries, a 2A charge mode does the job.
