Schumacher SSC-1500A Ship ‘N’ Shore Speed Charge Charger
- Digital meter displays battery charge status and test results
- Features retractable handle for easy portability
- System test helps diagnose problems
- Electronic push-button control switches help select between display mode, charge rate, or battery
- Accommodates 12-volt batteries only
Product Description
This speed charger charges 12-volt batteries in less time than conventional chargers. It has a built-in microprocessor which senses battery and charging system status, adjusts charge rates, automatically shuts off when full charge is achieved, and diagnoses problems. The 15-amp fast charger monitors battery condition and adjusts the charge rate to prevent battery damage. It is ideal for car, truck, marine, RV, farm equipment, AGM, gel cell, and deep-cycle batteries. The 10-amp fast charger has a self-adjusting charge rate for everyday charging needs which keeps your battery in peak condition. The 2-amp slow charger charges small batteries and maintains large ones and charges motorcycle, ATV, snowmobile and lawn tractor batteries.

As my title states, this charger handles all four main types of large batteries: Lead Acid Auto Starter batteries, Deep Cycle Marine, AGM and Gel Cell. You select battery type and size and it takes care of the rest. When you first hook up the clips to the battery and plug in the charger, selecting battery type, it tests the battery and gives you the volts available as well as the percentage that battery is currently charged! Many times I’ve wanted to know that. You then select battery size and it starts charging. If you select 15 or 10 amps, when the battery is fully charged it goes into a maintenance mode automatically! You can leave the charger running forever – and it won’t over charge the battery. Also – if your battery is damaged by sulfide build up, it detects that and runs a cycle to clean the battery and give it life again if it can. Wow. I wonder how many batteries I’ve replaced that could have been revived or kept alive by this charger?! This is going to save me a lot of money.
I purchased a new 850 cc amp deep cycle battery to use as an emergency power source for my amateur radio equipment (I’m a net control storm spotter for the National Weather Service Skywarn network). This brand new battery tested at 95% charged – so I fully charged it (while using the radio) and it worked fine. Charged up to 100% and went into maintenance mode automatically. Took the charger to the farm and connected it to a dead tractor battery. Showed 11% charged and began building the charge immediately. Was up to 15% in about 7 minutes when I had to leave. I’ll have to update this review later to let you know if it was able to salvage that poor battery.
I know of no other chargers that test the battery, charge all types of batteries and can safely be left on to maintain them as well. Go check out the cost of Gel Cell battery chargers – and you’ll find this is a deal.
BTW, if you forget to turn it from ‘test’ to ‘charge’, after 10 minutes or so this charger will automatically charge up the battery and keep it maintained for you! How easy is that?

Ship ‘N’ Shore Speed Charge Charger
I have a range of farm equipment and was looking for a small, lite charger.
The Schumacher SSC-1500A (assume the SSC-1000A) 10 Amp is about the same) works
OK – sometimes. However in charging a good but half charged tractor battery
the % charged stuck at 100%, during charging which indicated it may not shut off.
A seperate AMP meter indicated a 14 AMPs charge. (The AMP meter must have very low
internal resistance; mine has 2.5 milli-ohms). Charging Auto batteries quickly tapers to about
10 Amps or less. – This is not really a full 15A charger. The charger sorely lacks
an amp meter – an amp toggle setting could have been added for almost nothing.
My guess of why its not included is to not disappoint when seeing the actual charge rate.
I added an Amp meter (which almost every other cheap charger has). Not difficult
but time consuming.
I concluded, that if you want a reliable 15A or better charger – that doesn’t have a mind of its own, get a larger conventional transformer type charger with switchable
charger rates, meter and reliable auto shut-off. I’t still have to lug my “old fasioned”
charger around.

I bought this charger at WalMart. This charger does the job very well and is very automatic. I really like the % charge and voltage displays; they really let me know what is going on with the charging process. It’s very easy to use.
However, I have a few minor issues:
– The fan is noisy and always on, even when in float maintenance mode. Schumacher at least should update their firmware to turn the fan off when there is no need for it, and maybe they should find another fan that isn’t so noisy. Besides the bother of hearing the fan, having it on always means that the charger will collect dust inside if left plugged in for months at a time (through the winter connected to a camper battery, for example). The dust will ultimately cause overheating when a battery is charged.
– The paper manual describes 6 different battery type choices. 3 of them, including 6V and deep cycle, are not actually available to select on the charger: the charger cycles between Standard, AGM, and Gel. Since I needed to charge a deep-cycle battery, I wasn’t sure which to pick. However, I was able to download an updated manual from Schumacher’s web site which was updated to match the charger and explained that starting and deep-cycle batteries could be charged with any of the settings. This made sense, and I charged my battery successfully.
I also agree with the reviewer who said that the desulfation cycle should not be fully automatic. There should at least be an alarm chirp or something to remind you to keep a close eye out on the battery.
OK, so these are all pretty picky points. Overall, this is a very good charger and I recommend it.

I have charged 3 auto batteries so far, 2 of which were pretty dead (old batteries). The good battery (only 6 months old but with a weak charge) took awhile to charge and was just sitting at 62% for hours until I finally switched modes from 15A to 10A, then it was able to finish charging (total about 6 hours). Not sure why I had to switch between the two settings but it seem to work. The 2 completely dead batteries actually failed with bad battery messages the first few times that I tried. Finally I guess they got enough charge that they did charge up. Still I had to switch many times between 15A and 10A to get this to work. It took a few days (stopping/restarting/pushing buttons) for each battery, but after repeated trying, they did charge to 100%. Recharging one of these batteries after a slight discharge actually worked fine with no extra button pushing required. I guess this works better on batteries that still have a decent charge. Bottom line – it did charge all 3 batteries but it took some work on the old dead batteries.

I have had this charger now for over two months and charged my boat, tractor, lawn tractor and spare batteries several times with total satisfaction. I have two other auto chargers and have made this Schumacher my primary “go to” charger. Light weight, easy to use, good cord length and
“Recommended” !!
