I like the numerous automatic features...no 6 or 12 volt switch (so no accidents), automatically senses the battery type, has thermal protection, charge abort if battery problems among other desirable features. Nice long cords and strong, good quality clamps. I use to maintain cycle battery over winter. Also, as I make many short trips to work and elsewhere, I will use once a month to charge car battery and be sure it is up to full charge. I don't remove the cables from the battery to charge on car as the low 1.5 amp will do no damage to any circuitry while charging battery. At least on my vehicle. Just what I wanted and would recommend. 2 yr warranty

This charger has performed perfectly for charging & maintaining my lawn tractor battery. The older lawn tractor battery would not charge using my regular car battery charger & a smaller charger that I was using for this purpose. I purchased this charger & it charged this older battery perfectly! I was pleasantly surprised & it saved me from having to buy another battery. This is by far the best battery charger for the size & price. I would highly recommend this charger for this type of battery. I have not tried it on larger batteries so can not comment here. Buy this charger, it's great!

I've had this charger for a little over 9 months and used it 3 or 4 times on our car. I like it's compact size and the 3 lights, power on (red), charging (yellow) and charged (green). I also bought the Schumacher EC-25 25' Cable Connector Extension Cord.

I don't what the difference is between this model and the Schumacher SEM-1562A 1.5 Amp Speed Charge Maintainer (which costs less) but keep in mind before you buy that other model#, it notes the Proposition 65 warning (for California residents).

Honest reviews on Schumacher PS-1562A DSR ProSeries 1.5 Amp 6/12 Volt Automatic

For over two months, this unit has kept a spare marine battery topped up without issues. The status indicator LEDs are useful and accurate, but I have some doubt about the durability of the plastic case over the long term.

I needed a battery charger to keep the battery on my standby generator fully charged. When the generator runs, it charges the battery. If you don't exercise the generator for a while, the battery doesn't have enough power to start the engine. Now you must pull the rope to get it started.

The PS-1562A DSR charger can be permanently connected to the battery terminals because it has ring terminals that the battery terminal bolts will fit through. The connector has a few feet of wire and a plug on the end. It also comes with alligator clips on a different cable and plug assembly. The charger can be left on all the time, because once the battery is fully charged, the electronics senses this and cuts to power to a float charge, which will maintain the battery at full capacity. It automatically senses whether the battery that you connect is 6 volts or 12 volts. There is no switch to set.

I recommend that when you need to start the generator, unplug the power cable to the battery to prevent the starter motor from damaging the charger. I also recommend you order the 25 foot extension cord with matching plugs at each end so you can plug the charger into a receptacle that isn't next to the equipment.

I ordered it from Amazon and received it in about four days and it was undamaged and was as advertised.

I recommend this charger for any battery charging need with a small 6 or 12 volt battery, such as used in generators, tractors, motorcycles and the like. You will never have a dead battery when you need the equipment to operate.

I strongly recommend buying this charger.
