 No disappointments here! June 14, 2010

I have used this to charge a riding lawnmower, my cars, neighbor's car, etc. Has never let me down - and is great for deep cycle battery charging. One of the best purchases I have made! Never knew I would use it so much!
Has worked for years. A great tool to have on hand! April 4, 2010

Well, I would have given this four stars as the meter is rather hard to decipher. But decided to give it five as Schumacher has an easy to get to website where the PDF manual can be found in about 5 seconds. Actually it is explained well in the manual, but when it's been a year since using it you have to go online and look at the PDF again :)
I bought this when Montgomery Wards was going out of business from one of their auto-center stores. So that means it's been around for 10 years or so. Still works great.
I don't agree with the people here giving it a bad review because it is a manual charger. It clearly says it is a manual charger. It's not Schumacher's fault you don't know "manual == you are responsible to disconnect it when battery is charged"
While the lower power chargers (trickle, 1.5A, etc) can be had for about the same price in automatic, none of the chargers sporting 6amp charge (like this one) or 6+ amp charge are this cheap. The automatics with this much "oomph" or more all cost more.

Was looking for a trickle charger for a 12-volt battery and thought from the advertising on the box that this one might do the job. If I'd known more about chargers, the word "manual" would have clued me in, but if you're as inexperienced as I was--this does not have an automatic shutoff. Also, I find the gauge unnecessarily hard to interpret, with its two-way graph. A much simpler and smaller trickle charger is the Shumacher SEM 1562A/SFM 1562A.

I bough this charger new about 12 years ago for $30. So the price hasn't change much over the years. It started intermitting about 5 years ago. You could pick it up and let it drop about a foot and it would start working again. It got where it just wouldn't charge at all so I took it apart.
Turns out there is a design flaw in the Schumacher Heat Sink Dual Diode Assembly. The charger uses a pop rivet to mount the rectifier (Diode) to the metal heat sink. The heat sink is also used for current flow through the Single Pole Thermal Type Breaker to the positive side of the battery cable. As time passes oxidation and heat causes the resistance to increase between the Diodes and the heat sink. This can results in an intermitting charge and in time total failure.
I found a new replacement Schumacher Heat Sink Dual Diode Assembly but it cost over $30 which is about what I paid for new charge.
I repaired the old assembly by removing it, drilling out the pop rivet and cleaning the Diode and heatsink contacts, sanding the heatsink contact surface and using an Oxide inhibitor like DE-OX on the contact. I also used a small nut and bolt in place of the pop rivet.
The charger now work like new. I would hope by now Schumacher would have corrected this problem. Since I don't have a new model to check I have no idea. All in all I think this model SE-82-6 is over rated. After finding the problem it was hard for me to believe it was made in USA.

Was online looking for directions for my se82-6 schumucker charger and noticed they still sell these. I bought my over 23 years ago and its still working. Its kept in an unheated garage and has charged many a car, motorcycle, boat, or lawn tractor battery over the years. Its not as pretty as the newer ones but still does the job. Would offer a suggestion and apply some light grease to the connection ends as they have a tendency to oxidize and need a little emery cloth if the charger "sits" for any length of time.
