6V and 12V Automatic Battery Charger and Engine Starter with 30A Boost and 85A or 100A Start – Schumacher
A 6V and 12V automatic battery charger and engine starter handles routine maintenance and high-current assistance from one garage unit. Schumacher offers a 30A boost with either an 85A engine-start version or the SC1281 five-in-one model with a documented 100A start setting.
The SC1281 uses microprocessor-controlled multi-stage charging at 2–6A, automatically detects voltage and adds battery testing, alternator testing and desulfation. It supports documented standard, AGM, gel, deep-cycle and 12V LiFePO4 batteries. Reverse-polarity protection, automatic shutoff, a digital display and cord-wrap cleats support organized use.
