As a way to save money, many people today are starting out to do car repairs by themselves. When you are one of those people who’ve turned your garage into a home mechanics shop there are a couple of things that you may need. Two items that are guaranteed for you to have in your homemade mechanic’s shop are a battery charger and a car starter. Because these two things are very important, we’ll take a good look at the Schumacher SE-4020 10/40/200-AMP Wheel-Style Charger And Starter.

The single thing I have always hated about repairing my own cars is the fact that between starting them over and over and leaving the doors open so the dome light stays on, I’d need to charge the battery to be able to get the car to start up again. I am certain you have been repairing a car and once you go to start it you find out that the battery is dead. Then you need to affix a charger to your car and wait five to ten hours before you have any hope of the car starting again. So I was quite delighted to discover that they now have home versions of charger and starter units that you would find in car shops. But the great thing about the new units is that you need not pay $500 to $1,000 for a unit that gives you all the benefits of the more expensive units.

The Schumacher SE-4020 10/40/200-AMP Wheel-Style Charger/Starter is undoubtedly an example of those items. This unit is so powerful, that professionals use this particular model as well. I have a cousin who owns a garage and when his first $1000 unit broke down, he went out and bought two Schumacher units for just under $300.

When you use the 10 amp setting, you can fully charge up a battery in under five hours. What’s even better is that you will charge a battery in forty minutes to two and a half hours if you crank it up to 40 amps. And the greatest feature, in my opinion, stands out as the 200 amp setting which can give up to 350 amps of pure power to jump start your car. Certainly you can use this 12v charger on any type of vehicle including motorcycles and lawn tractors due to the fact that the unit can be switched between 6 and 12 volt vehicles.

Another nice feature is a built in timer so you can charge something for a particular period of time without having to remember to turn it off. With the timekeeper, you won’t need to worry about overcharging your batteries. The Schumacher system comes in handy during the winter considering that cars usually have a hard time starting up, so you can use this unit for getting a quick boost.
