Product Description

Every well-equipped home garage needs a powerful and reliable battery charger and jump starter. The Schumacher SC1281 100A 6V/12V Fully Automatic Battery Charger and Jump Starter is the perfect addition to any garage currently without one. With the Schumacher SC1281, you can perform diagnostic testing, jump starting, battery charging, and battery maintaining. Powerful enough to start SUVs, trucks, and other large batteries, the SC1281 delivers a 100A engine start, 30A boost, and 6A<>2A charge/maintain rates. The Schumacher SC1281 also includes an integrated battery and alternator tester, which determines charge level and assists in diagnosing electrical problems. Fully automatic, the Schumacher SC1281 is controlled by a microprocessor, which employs an advanced multi-stage charging algorithm, auto voltage detection, and float mode monitoring. As a safety measure, the unit includes reverse hook-up protection, which prevents the charger from operating if the clamps are reversed. Other features include a digital display, LED indicators, push-button controls, and wrap cleats for convenient cord storage.

From the manufacturer

Schumacher SC1281 100A 6V/12V Jump Starter and Battery Charger

Fully Automatic Jump Starting

Jump Start, Boost, Charge, and Maintain

The Schumacher SC1281 100A 6V/12V Jump Starter and Battery Charger is designed for heavy-duty charging needs with 100A of jump starting power, built-in diagnostics, and sturdy construction. It also features 30A boost, 6A charge, and 2A maintain rates.

Advanced Battery Charging Technology

FULLY AUTOMATIC

The unit will automatically detect when a battery is fully charged. It will then halt charging and shift to maintain mode.

ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS

The integrated battery and alternator tester lets users determine their battery’s charge level and will help diagnose vehicle electrical problems.

BUILT-IN SAFETY

Protect your battery and the SC1281 with reverse hook-up protection, which prevents damage if the clamps are reversed.

MULTI-STAGE CHARGING

The SC1281 uses an advanced charging algorithm designed to keep your battery in top condition and extend its lifespan.

Will this charge a completely dead battery?

Yes, the SC1281 will charge a completely dead battery, unless the battery is bad. If you are using the engine start feature, we recommend first using the boost mode to quickly add energy to the battery.

Does this unit have internal batteries or is it powered by AC?

The SC1281 does not have an internal battery. It must be plugged into any AC outlet before charging will start.

Will the SC1281 desulfate a battery?

Yes, the SC1281 has an automatic desulfation mode. If the battery requires desulfation, the unit will automatically switch to desulfation during charging. Desulfation can take up to 10 hours.

Does the SC1281 use multi-stage charging?

The SC1281 is controlled by a microprocessor that employs an advanced charging algorithm to optimize battery health. This passes through several stages including bulk mode, absorption, float mode, and maintain mode.

What does 6A<>2A mean?

When the 6A<>2A charge rate is selected the SC1281’s microprocessor will automatically adjust the amperage between 6A and 2A as need to fully charge the battery and then maintain the charge.

HOME GARAGE

Every home garage should have a quality Schumacher battery charger and jump starter.
HOBBY MECHANICS

The SC1281 provides home mechanics with serious engine starting and battery charging power.
CAR RESTORERS
