Amazon.com Product Description
Schumacher's SEM-1562A low amperage charger is an ideal way to maintain a battery's charge for people who don't use their vehicle everyday, who go short distances, or who do lots of stop-and-go driving. It can also be used to charge small batteries for ATVs, motorcycles, snowmobiles, and lawn tractors, or even for batteries that have a long storage time. In cold climates, they're indispensable for keeping batteries warm overnight and ready for starting. 
The SEM-1562A charges both 6-volt and 12-volt batteries. | Features
The SEM-1562A maintains both 6-volt and 12-volt batteries, keeping them at full charge using float-mode monitoring. The unit will automatically switch from full-charge to float-mode monitoring when the battery is charged to prevent overcharging. Smart display LEDs indicate whether the unit is in charge, charging, or trouble modes. Versatile
The SEM-1562A is perfect for charging small batteries, maintaining small and large batteries kept in storage, and batteries for motorcycles, classic cars, TVs, and boats. It's small enough to fit under the hood of your car or truck. Safe and Effective
The unit has a quick disconnect harness for easy removal. Use the 50 amp clamps to connect to the battery or permanently attach the ring connectors--great for hard to reach motorcycle batteries. It also has a reverse hookup protection in case the clamps are accidentally connected to the wrong terminals. Warranty
Every Schumacher power source comes with a one-year limited warranty (90 days on battery).

 Dissapointed June 11, 2010

Inexpensive to buy, but this unit had a faulty cord that prevented the battery from charging. Called the manuf after playing wit it for two weeks and found out if you can't show a receipt of purchase they won't stand behind the warranty. You get what you pay for I guess
Won't charge a dead battery May 25, 2010

It is a maintainer, not a charger. This unit is great for topping off a battery, and/or maintaining one in storage. No issue with that, but it will not charge a dead battery. At a very low battery voltage like 10.6V, it simply turns on its RED LED and shuts off - no go, unusable. That was on an unusually small car battery, for a Prius. I think it is cooling problem, because in final desperation, I set it up on end, with LED at bottom, and hot transformer at top, then it managed to work. Set it back flat, and it turns off.
Disappointed.. risk is that it may not be there for me when I most need it.
 They work great for me May 2, 2010

I bought 2 of these chargers and they have worked great on the batteries in my boat, 4-wheeler, scooter, motorcyles, garden tractors, and stored car. I haven't used it on a 6V battery yet so I don't know how the auto select feature works. I wish they included more plugs for all my vehicles.
Hook it up and forget about it. March 11, 2010

This battery tender has worked fine for my motorcycle and auto batteries. I like that fact that it includes both a slow (1.5 amp) charge mode and a monitor mode so you can hook it up to a slightly under charged battery and forget about it. It will charge the remaining capacity and then switch to maintenance mode. Has worked fine so far.

Item was sent from vendor without the cable hookups! Amazon refunded my money quickly. Amazon does have a great system for refunds when I item is damaged or incomplete.
