Many reports online of Schumachers going to way too high a voltage.
Mine will goto 16.4v, sometimes, even when the battery is in no need of an Equalization charge. It will pump 14 or 26 amps into a battery, blast it right past the mid to high 14's into the mid 15's as the battery gurgles burps and generally spews diarrhea at this ridiculous and abusive charge rate.
I know it is not just My Schumacher Sc2500a which does this. I simply could/can never trust my Schumacher not to go bat******crazy and try and literally boil the electrolyte.
I've gone the adjustable voltage power supply route, and expel flatulence in the direction of automatic plug and play chargers.
I do like the PD9245 or pd9260 as one can at least override the 'stages' and hold 14.4v for as long as desired by pressing a button.
Cut a pair of jumper cables in half and it is a stand alone battery charger which will put many wheeled chargers to shame for a fraction of the size.
One pays a lot more for that well marketed Push button exterior and cheesy alligator clamps of stand alone 'one size fits none' chargers, which are less capable.
