At present, with funds being so stretched for everyone, many people have taken to doing their auto repairs themselves. If you may have become your own personal mechanic, there are a few things you will want. Two items that are natural for you to have in your homemade mechanic’s shop are a battery charger and a car starter. This is why we have chosen to take a close look at the Schumacher SE-4020 10/40/200-AMP Wheel-Style Charger And Starter.

One particular component of repairing my own car that I don’t like is having to charge the battery up after needing to start the car over and over again. You’ve most likely experienced a situation where after working on the car, the battery has died on you. In that case you’ve got to put the car on a charger and hold off anywhere from 5 to 10 hours, depending on your charger, before you can start the car. So I was quite happy to learn that they are starting to market charger and starter models for personal use. What’s beneficial about these devices is that they are as effective as the professional models but you don’t have to fork over $500 to $1000 for it.

The Schumacher SE-4020 10/40/200-AMP Wheel-Style Charger/Starter is undoubtedly considered one of those devices. The SE-4020 can be such a powerful unit that quite a few professional mechanics are using it. My relation owns a garage and when his $1,000 unit gave up working he went out and bought 2 of the Schumacher units and it cost him less than $300 for both units.

When you use the 10 amp setting, you’ll be able to fully recharge a battery in under five hours. What’s all the more cool is when you set the unit to 40 amps, you can fully charge a battery anywhere between forty minutes to two and a half hours. Also my favorite feature is the 200 amp setting which will allow you to jump start a car almost instantly. You can change between six and twelve volts in order to use this charger to charge up motorcycles and lawn tractors as well.

An additional detail is that the unit incorporates a built in timer so you can even set the unit to charge for two hours and walk away. You will not have to concern yourself with overcharging your battery. You may also use the Schumacher unit during the winter months, particularly during extremely freezing days when your car won’t start up since it can  give your car  a nice jump  start  to begin the day.
