Schumacher Electric Universal 6 Volt / 12 Volt Battery Charger for Ride on Toys - Charge 'N Ride CR5-3 Amp, Fully Automatic - with 6V/12V Action Wheels & 12V Kid Trax Toy Car Battery Cable Connector

Great charger. Paired up with a MightyMax ml 15-12, harness, and now my kids jeep goes for hours.This charger does a nice job and is clear to read, has good heat dissipation and is simple to use.

Great charger!This is a must-have item if you have ride-on toys, especially when you can get it on sale. Way better than the included wall wart chargers.I'm not sure why the Power Wheels + barrel plug version is priced so much lower, but it's probably the most versatile one as the barrel plug can be used on Razor scooters and many other brands. Heck, if you get some clamps or a ring terminal adapter, you can use this as a battery maintainer on your real car!

This charger is amazing. I bout it to replace my daughter’s slow charger, and let me tell you, it is phenomenal! 2.5 hours of charging, and she ready to go. It also has a very smart charging system, to not allow over charged!!! Highly recommended!!

I really like this charger over the original charger.

Came as advertised. The amazing thing was that I ordered it thursday near noon. It arrived at monday lunch! From the US to Sweden that is. How is that possible? 😂 Granted, I paid for fast shipping but this is insanely fast.

Overall this appears to be a decent little charger/maintainer, and can be used for other batteries as well, with a set of alligator clamps. I have an older Schumacher 1.5A maintainer that I've used for the same purpose, but the new design doesn't use the large transformer from the mains voltage anymore, which makes it about half the weight.This new one isn't twice as fast as the 1.5A, as I would have expected (not including the float stage, that is independent of the charger) The current clamp shows ~2.05-2.1 amps DC for a 12V SLA battery at ~12.5-13.5v. I assume the internals of this unit are the same as the 2A battery maintainer Schumacher also sells. Maybe is is 3A peak? Not sure, I'd need to hook up the o-scope. The circuitry is decent, they use a rectified high voltage stage to pulse current into the battery, so the averaged current comes out to 2A. The pulsed voltage is about twice the battery voltage, RMS, but this will depend on the battery as well.I do like how they integrated an output relay, which is important as the output voltage could get quite high if something went wrong, so plus a star for that. They also used a thermistor on the heat sink for the output diode, which should tell the IC to shut the unit down if it overheated. The case isn't vented, which is good for dust intrusion, but bad for heat dissipation. The diode runs about 110F under full load in open air. It will likely run a lot hotter when encased. Not sure why so much heat is generated across the diode. At 2A, I would expect less than 2W, but there may be extra loss due to the switching frequency used.Overall, good unit for the money. I'd like to know why it is labeled as a 3A charger, maybe that is the average DC current for a 6v battery?I don't suggest opening up the unit and plugging it in. The heat sinks are tied to positive voltage, so you could get a good shock, even with GFCI protection due to the large capacitor.

My application for this charger was likely a bit different than most people, however it is performing wonderfully in its adapted roll. I needed a (fixed voltage, not some ‘smart’ unit) battery charger for a chair lift (In a church). The chair lift uses a pair of 12V 7AH batteries in series as its power source so hence the 24V need. The unit comes with two power plug-in ends for the typical Ride-On Toys it is intended for. I used the 4-pin (CB radio mic) plug, by desoldering and adapted it to my needs. Note, this unit does not use the same intermediate connector used is other Schumacher trickle chargers, it is close but not interchangeable. In my application this unit performs well and even the 3 status LEDs are useful. The Power On light wall power on; Charging Light works exactly as advertised while charging solid 0-80% flashing the last 20% and off When fully charged; And in my application whenever the Chair leaves the top or bottom charging docks the Failed Battery light comes on, as the unit is working into an open circuit. Also, unit runs cool under all conditions even when charging fairly depleted batteries after making numerous consecutive chair cycles. Thank You Schumacher for saving us hundreds of dollars over an OEM charger!

Battery holds a good charge.
