Having A Closer Inspection Of The Schumacher SE-4020 10/40/200-AMP Wheel-Style 12v Charger And Starter

By Emmanuel Saintfleur


These days, with funds being so stretched for everyone, many people have taken to doing their auto repairs themselves. If you've become your own personal mechanic, there are a few things you need. Two elements that happen to be natural for you to have in your homemade mechanic's shop are a battery charger and a car starter. Because these two things are very important, we'll take a good look at the Schumacher SE-4020 10/40/200-AMP Wheel-Style Charger And Starter.

One of the things I hate about fixing my very own car is that after repeatedly starting the car over and over again, and needing to leave the door lights on, the battery will eventually fail. I am sure you have been fixing a car and once you go to start it you find out that the battery is dead. Then you will have to put the car on a charger and hold off anywhere from 5 to 10 hours, depending on your charger, before you can start the car. So I was quite happy to learn that they are starting to sell charger and starter devices for personal use. What's beneficial about these products is that they are just like the professional models but you don't have to fork over $500 to $1000 for it.

The actual Schumacher SE-4020 10/40/200-AMP Wheel-Style Charger And Starter is really an example of these affordable units. Plus the beauty of this unit is that it can be so powerful you can actually find it at your local garage. My relation operates a garage and when his $1,000 unit stopped working he went out and bought 2 of the Schumacher units and it cost him less than $300 for both units.

If you use the 10 amp setting located on the charger, you can charge your car battery within three to five hours. But that is not the best part, using the 40 amp setting you can charge a dead battery in 40 minutes to 2 and 1/2 hours. Not to mention my favorite feature is the 200 amp setting designed to enable you to jump start a car almost instantly. This particular unit allows you to switch between 6 and 12 volts so you can use it for any type of vehicle like a lawn tractor or motorcycle.

Another handy feature is a built in timer, so you can set how long something needs to be charged and walk away. You don't need to stress about overcharging your battery all over again. This particular unit is also very helpful to people who reside in the northern states as many vehicles have a problem starting in the winter time and the boost you will get from this jump starter will make sure you won't miss work anymore because your car won't start.
