Subject: | Re: Walmart battery charger. |
Bob,
I checked the local Walmart and they have the model Schumacher Model
XM1-5 charger. It is advertised as a 6 and 12 volt 1.5 amp
charger/maintainer. The 1562A looks like it has the same specs and is
available to order on-line and pick up at the store. Any experience with
the new model? I picked one up and put it on a 7 AH gell cell but don't
get either a charging or charged LED. I'm not sure if I just have a bad
one or if it doesn't have the same circuitry. The manual list "NR" for
not recommended for batteries over 32 AH. I was planning to use it on
the airplane and get one for a car. I can take this one back and order
the 1562A.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Darrel

I wish I could offer some first hand info. I've seen that
product on the shelves . . . and the 'specs' look good.
But I've used the 1562 for years. Just did a site-to-store
purchase of a new one a couple months ago. I performed
as expected. As long as you're not in a hurry, the site-to-
store thing is low risk.
If you've got the time, I'd pay postage both ways to
play with XM1-5 on the bench.
