Question 1

How does Schumacher 2 amp battery charger compares to Axtra 3.6 amp battery charger?

Accepted Answer

After reading this question, I pulled the trigger to purchase both battery chargers. AXTRA battery charger is better than Schumacher in term of quality and features than Schumacher charger. Highly recommend AXTRA battery charger: www.amazon.com/AXTRA-Fully-Automatic-Maintainer-Motorcycle-Tractors/dp/B08T7V4VQC

I am an auto mechanic for 32 years. I have been testing these chargers for about 8 months so far. Schumacher battery clamps has bare aluminum stick out that lack of insulation. The insulation is used to prevent those individuals who accidentally touch the positive and negative from being electrocuted.

Question 2

Does Axtra 3.6 amp battery charger better than Schumacher 1.5 amp battery charger? Axtra has 0.9 amp and 3.6 amp, this one only has 1.5 amp?

Accepted Answer

I am totally agreed AXTRA battery charger has 0.9 amp and 3.6 amp that would outperform the Schumacher 1.5 amp. AXTRA 3.6 amp will charge your car battery 50% more faster than Schumacher.

Question 3

How does this compare to the battery tender  plus?

Accepted Answer

AXTRA battery charger is better than Schumacher. Schumacher is better than Battery Tender. I have been testing most of these battery chargers to compare its quality and features. NOCO is the industrial leader for battery charger, jump starter, battery maintainer.

AXTRA car battery charger is more adequate in term of quality and features than Schumacher charger. Highly recommend AXTRA battery charger: www.amazon.com/AXTRA-Fully-Automatic-Maintainer-Motorcycle-Tractors/dp/B08T7V4VQC

I am an auto mechanic for 32 years. I have been testing these chargers for about 8 months so far. AXTRA battery charger has 3.6 amp and 0.9 amp for small, medium, large size cars and trucks. Schumacher has 2 amp only. AXTRA is more adequate to trickle charge motorcycle, lawn mower and ATV. Most importantly the battery clamps with Schumacher is not fully insulated. The insulation is used to prevent those individuals who accidentally touch the positive and negative from being electrocuted.

Question 4

my mower have 2 connected batteries,will it charge them together?

Accepted Answer

If it has 2, 12V batteries you can charge them together IF they are wired parallel to one another (if they are connected positive to positive, and negative to negative), because they act like one big 12V battery. If they are wired for 24V (positive to negative), you have to charge them one at a time, OR disconnect them and put jumpers on them to wire them parallel and you can do them both at once. HOWEVER, as stated by Chris, this is NOT a charger. At 1.5 amps output, it is only designed to maintain a battery while idle, or to charge a small (ie 12Ah) battery.
