The Schumacher SC1353 is a wheeled 6-in-1 battery charger and engine starter that charges, maintains, reconditions, and tests 6V and 12V batteries with up to 200 amps of starting power.

Built for garages, workshops, and farms, the SC1353 pairs old-school durability with modern automatic electronics. This mid-duty unit moves on casters for easy positioning, plugs into AC power, and delivers multiple charge modes plus alternator and battery diagnostics. It's suited for standard, AGM, and deep-cycle batteries across cars, trucks, tractors, ATVs, and marine craft.

How quickly will this charger revive a dead battery?

The SC1353 offers several charge rates so you can pick speed or gentle maintenance. Use the 40-amp boost for faster recovery of deeply discharged batteries and the 6-amp/2-amp modes for everyday charging and long-term upkeep. A 200-amp engine-start feature provides short-duration cranking power for stuck engines.

• 200A engine start for quick cranking
• 40A boost charge to rapidly restore charge
• 6A and 2A modes for normal charging and maintenance
• Smart trickle setting for safe long-term storage

What battery types and vehicles does it support?

This unit works with both 6V and 12V systems and plays nicely with common battery chemistries used in modern vehicles. It supports gasoline and diesel engines and is compatible with car, truck, SUV, motorcycle, ATV, marine, and small tractor batteries. Suitable for standard flooded, AGM, and deep-cycle batteries, it covers most household and light-commercial needs.

How does the SC1353 protect batteries and vehicles?

Safety features minimize the risk of user error and equipment damage while preserving battery life. Reverse polarity protection prevents harm from incorrect clamp connections, and the charger’s automatic modes limit overcharging. An onboard reconditioning (desulfation) routine can help recover batteries affected by sulfation when conditions allow.

• Reverse polarity protection to avoid damage
• Automatic charge control to prevent overcharging
• Battery reconditioning/desulfation mode to restore capacity
• Built-in alternator and battery tester for quick diagnostics

What accessories and convenience features are included?

The SC1353 is designed for workshop practicality, rolling on caster wheels and providing heavy-duty clamps and booster cables. The unit requires AC power to operate and includes a 6-foot power cord for reach. A user manual is supplied for setup, safety, and diagnostic procedures.

• Wheeled cart design for easy mobility in the shop
