Was the correct charger and worked well battery for suv

It has a great trickle charger. Don't expect it to be a battery maintainer. It turns off after the battery is charged.

works as expected

When I bought it, I thought Shumacher, they make a good charger. This one sounded like it would do just fine. I had this thing for maybe ten months but only used it like four times.When I went to use it on Monday, I found no output on it. Then the negative terminal fell off. I saw that it was crimped bare metal wire to the terminal, not to the insulation and held in place with a screw the way it was designed to be. That meant there was no strain relief on the cord, and with a tiny bit of metal fatigue from using it four times that wimpy wire fell apart. This left the device 100% not operational.Please see the picture of the negative clamp above. You can see the broken wire. You can also see that the clamp was filthy on the inside, like they had stored it under the ocean or something. It was amazingly nasty. Flat out, I was gobsmacked astounded.The fact that the fix was simple - clean the terminal, grab the right size bolt and nut from the junk jar, strip it back, make a terminal lug, tighten it down, and put proper insulation on it - was beside the point. This thing failed, leaving me stranded until I did surgery on it. That's unacceptable even to someone who knows what they are doing and doubly unacceptable to someone who isn't used to taking stuff apart and fixing it.By the way, the engine starter setting doesn't. Flat out, too wimpy, at least for a Ford F-150. Maybe it will work on a Fiat 500, I don't know. Those wires aren't anywhere near thick enough to hold 50 amps though. They measure like 12 amp rated 14 gauge wire, definitely no bigger than 12 gauge 20 amp wire. I was expecting wire for a 50 amp rated charger to be 50 amp rated wire like 6 gauge, but no way that wire could do a steady 50 amp load without burning up.

If you need a battery charger this will do the job👍

Great price at a great price 👍
