I have a big 61' John Deere zero turn mower. This keeps it ready to start coming out of winter.

This is very useful not expensive and easy to use. I don't drive my truck much.then one winter day I went to use it and it would not start. So I bought the Schumacher 800mah Battery maintainer sc1299. Hooked it up to my battery left it alone for a day. Went out and turned the key and it started. So I highly recommend this battery maintainer. It payed for itself using it one time.

Not sure what all the negative comments about cord length are. Maybe an older version? I got the SC1299 august 2024 and the cord is stupidly long. It’s 11ft. More than enough.I have used battery tender brand, NAPA and Nocos. Battery tenders are great, but ridiculous expensive IMO. NAPAs are good but my experience is only with larger chargers and not maintainers. Nocos are nice but kind of pricey. Enter this. It’s easier to use than anything else I have used as you just hook it up and walk away. No setting battery type, amps, etc. It does all the work. A simple LED light to tell you what is going on. If you are familiar with the Noco 1 it’s much bigger than that but you don’t have to set anything.CONS? When it is in float mode the LED light is off. So how do you know it’s plugged in and working? You don’t. So if you need a status LED like 99% of chargers and maintainers have? Look elsewhere.

Products works great for summer vehicles that you want to garage/not drive during winter months. Slow and steady “trickle charge” is what helped keep my car battery functioning normally when it came to driving my summer car after winter storage.

Connected to my 12VDC AGM battery to maintain charge, monitored charging voltage. The Battery Maintainer charged within allowable voltage specs and turned off when charged. Battery Maintainer latter recharged battery automatically when needed.

Es primera vez que compro un mantenedor, como lo llaman, ya no se baja la batería de mi coche aun cuando no lo use por mas de un mes, fácil de usar compacto y muy útil. Voy a comprar uno mas para la motocicleta.

This is such an important part of my winter car care. I hooked it up in under 15 minutes and it works great. The battery is fully charged when I don't drive the car very much and because it is so small and easy to tuck under the hood, it is not in the way. I thought the cord it comes with might be too short but not the case for my Mazda 6 as it reaches and I hang about 6" out of the hood and plug it into an extension into the outlet. When you consider the cost of a good battery over $100 this is a very economical way to charge the battery without the nuisance of removing it from the car and plugging in a trickle charger. Because it is on board there is nothing to do but plug it into the outlet. I really recommend it and the quality and reviews all confirm what I am finding after three months of use.

This automatic car battery trickle charger/maintainer works very well. After it is hooked up, you can leave it with confidence that it will keep your battery in good health. Also, the right angle bracket it comes with (that installs under the battery) is an incredibly simple and convenient way to quickly install the trickle charger/maintainer. I highly recommend this product!

I have several trickle chargers similar to this. I use them mainly in the Winter, but also have one in a gas golf cart and a boat that stays at a campground in storage for weeks at a time sometimes. At home I use them in lawn tractors and a bigger compact tractor in the Winter to keep the batteries topped off. This one is similar in shape and design to the others I have but it weighs about 1/3 as much. I was really surprised when I took it out of the packaging. It doesn't look like it will break easily but there is something about it that just makes it feel kind of cheap. That being said, I haven't used it long enough to really judge the reliability. I hooked it up to a zero turn mower today and it seems to be working. I'll update my review if there are any issues.The price was reasonable and I'll keep the unit. But if I would have picked this one up in a store I would have probably passed and bought something that felt a little heftier. I'm giving it 4 stars since it seems to be working fine and I like the mounting holes in this one. I'm taking one star off because it just feels a little cheap.

I just received this item yesterday for my 12V Marine Battery on my boat, and I installed it today in less than 5 minutes. I placed this inside the battery box, on top of the battery, and with the included L bracket, and screws, it can sit on top of the battery, and it's held in place by the L bracket (placed in between the battery and the battery box). I didn't have to actually install it onto the battery or box for it to sit without movement. The ring connections (as pictured) were a little large for the screw terminals on my battery, but tightened down properly they still made good, soild, tight contact, and work just fine. I plugged this right into a 50ft extension cord that I run out of my garage, and over to where I park my boat, and it powered right on, and started charging. Other reviewers say that it's loud, but I couldn't hear anything until I put my ear to within 6 inches of the charger. VERY quiet. I also tested the ability to store it in the battery box in the configuration I said about before, and it fits just fine. When I unplug the charger, and lay the power cord on top of the battery/charger, I can close the battery box, and it closes just perfectly with everything stored inside. I recommend this to anyone that doesn't want to have to lug around a battery charger everytime you need to charge your boat battery, this can install permanently near the battery, and all you have to do is run an extension cord to your boat, and plug it in. It's literally like plugging in your boat to charge it, and once your done, you can just tuck all the wiring inside your battery box, and head to the lake. Other reviewers complained about not having a 12 ft power cord, but if you're going to permanently mount this on a vehicle, or boat, or whatever, do you REALLY want to have to wind up, and store 12 ft of extra cable SOMEWHERE on your vehicle, boat, mower, or ATV? That's alot of cable to have to stash somewhere, especially when there really isn't much room on a boat, Mower, or ATV TO stash that much cable. I love it. It works perfectly, great/easy install, and I don't every have to move or reconfigure it if I don't want to. I recommend this to anyone looking for a compact, permanent install trickle charger.
