Forgetting to remove the negative connector before storing my vehicle for the winter; the internal sytems and alarm drained the battery, and of course it was sulfated. This unit worked like a charm. The battery was down to 8 volts/15%. The SC-1200a properly began to charge, then desulfate, and slowly was able to get the battery back to 98% before I removed it to start the car. This took approximately 17 hours (700 CCA Battery), which isn't bad for a dead/sulfated battery using a charger costing less than $50. The plus is you can use it to maintain your battery on a vehicle you do not drive much. Keeping your battery charged above 98% can greatly extend the life. How long it will the charger last running 24/7? ...I do not know yet. I have only had it maintaining the battery for 3 weeks, but still no problems. It does have a cooling fan which probably should be cleaned/vacuumed occaisionally; and I've never felt the unit being hot to touch. Not sure what problem the first reveiwer had, or if the unit he had was defective or dropped before he purchased it. For a $50 charger which maintains and also desulfates a battery, you cannot beat it.

light weight and fool proof.Some people complained it will not charge a totaly dead battery.This is safety feature so it will not turn on if nothing is hooked up it.To charge a dead battery - you have to give it a little pre charge to get it to about 1 volt so the charger knows something is actually hooked up to to it.To do this:1. unplug charger from wall2. hook battery to charger3. press and hold "display" and "type" button at the same time4. while holding those buttons - plug the charger into wall. * this will bypass safety features and charge the battery even if it is dead (assuming the battery can be charged at all)- do not run in this mode for more then 5 minutes or you can damage unit and battery.- this will get the battery enough of a charge so that the charger can detect a battery is hooked up to it (1 volt) .5. unplug charger from wall.6. wait 30 seconds and plug in charger into the wall. This will put it back into 'regular' mode and start charging your batter properlyGood luck!Brad

Stay far, far, far, away from this charger. I walked away from tested, good, low charge battery being charged on the 8amp setting connected to a 750CCA regular car battery and when I came back a couple hours later it was boiling and still trying to charge! I checked the charge voltage and it was at 16 volts (measured with a Fluke meter)! Bad, very bad, charger and not automatic or smart at all.
