Schauer CM6A battery charger

Anyone have any experience with this battery charger? Looks like a good deal, but need some feedback before buying.

Looks like it has most of the features one would want-- the ability to dial it for AGMs or whatever battery type you have -- desulfating feature--smart charging.

Questions would be about its durability and how it handles the elements. Also, one important feature it doesn't have is a temperature sensor which will greatly enhance AGM life if you have one.

Here is a good, straight-forward article I found about how controllers work.

Thanks, that's an informative link.

I ordered the charger and will post up when I install it.

I've gotten some emails asking about this charger. I have it installed in my nose box on my trailer project. It's hooked up to my Optima Yellow Top and has been working well with no problems.

I have this charger for 2 years.
Generally, the charger has good performance, but if your battery has deep discharge, it can not bring it back, just goes to "Fault" mode, you need to use another charger to bring the battery back, then hook up this charger. Re Jen function doesn't seems to help.
