SC-12000A SpeedCharge Battery Charger Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I suggest you buy this locally where it can be returned if you are unhappy. When I called customer support all I got was questions about my batteries, none about the charger.

I have several batteries which all needed to be charged: 2 car, 1 motorcycle. The desulfation mode did not work as advertised. The charger neither recognized or desulfated. In the end, I resorted to using an old dumb charger to restore the batteries because the 12000A failed repeatedly, mostly with 'Aborted' status. The one time it did operate to a 'Charge Complete', the charge was weak and needed to be finished using my old dumb 12V-10Amp charger.

And regarding the 120 amp engine start mode, it is pretty useless. The charger will supply 5 seconds then do a 3 minute recovery. And as I found out during my usage, any portion of that 5 seconds activates the 3 minute recovery. So if you crank for 2-3 seconds, stop to spray starting fluid, then you have to wait 3 minutes before being allowed you next 5 seconds of starting.

This charger is advertised as smart, with the ability to recognize and treat sulfation. It did neither. But, on the other hand, customer service was able to say from 2000 miles away that the battery was sulfated. The battery has now been charged and is doing fine. I just used my 20 year old 12V-10Amp dumb charger.
