MOUNT PROSPECT, ILLINOIS 60056-2179 MAKES THIS LIMITED WARRANTY
TO THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER AT RETAIL OF THIS PRODUCT. THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY IS NOT TRANSFERABLE.
Schumacher Electric Corporation warrants this battery charger for two years from
date of purchase at retail against defective material or workmanship. If such should
occur, the unit will be repaired or replaced at the option of the manufacturer. It is the
obligation of the purchaser to forward the unit together with proof of purchase, trans-
portation and/or mailing charges prepaid to the manufacturer or its authorized rep-
resentative.
This limited warranty is void if the product is misused, subjected to careless han-

excludes any implied warranty including any warranty for consequential damages.
LIMITED WARRANTY
THIS IS THE ONLY EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY AND THE MANUFACTURER
NEITHER ASSUMES NOR AUTHORIZES ANYONE TO ASSUME OR MAKE ANY
OTHER OBLIGATION TOWARDS THE PRODUCT OTHER THAN THIS EXPRESS
LIMITED WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER MAKES NO WARRANTY OF MER-
CHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR PURPOSE OF THIS PRODUCT AND EX-
PRESSLY EXCLUDES SUCH FROM THIS LIMITED WARRANTY.
SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCI-
DENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LENGTH OF IMPLIED WAR-
RANTY SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO
YOU.
THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY ALSO
HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.

3 Hours (180 minutes + 20 minutes = 200 minutes)
200 x 1.25 = 250 minutes or 4 Hours & 10 minutes
The approximate time required to bring a battery to a full charge
state depends upon the number of ampere hours (AH’s) de-
pleted from the battery. AH’s are determined by multiplying the
number of hours times the number of amps supplied by a bat-
tery to a load. For example - if a load was connected to a battery
which drew 10 Amps for a period of 5 hours, the battery will
have supplied 50 AH’s. The approximate recharge time required
to restore the 50 AH’s depleted from the battery would be calcu-
lated by dividing 50 AH’s by the selected charge rate. If the 15
Amp charge rate is chosen then divide 50 AH’s by 15 Amps, this
equal to 3.3 hours or 3 hour and 20 minutes. During the charge
cycle, the 15 Amp charge rate will not remain constant, rather
as the battery charges it will taper to approximately 6-7 Amps.
Also not all of the energy going into the battery is directly con-
verted, some is lost in the form of heat. For these reasons allow
an additional 25% in charge time. For this example add 50 min-
utes to the 3 hour and 20 minutes for a total recharge time of 4
hour and 10 minutes.
