SchuLink +

I have bought numerous Schumacher chargers over the years. Also meeting Tony at the drag strip and how kind he was to everyone made me a loyal customer. So when I was in the market for a WiFi capable charger I didn't look any further than Schumacher. The issue is the application won't register the charger. l guess they outsource this development and their support staff have no information on when this problem will be corrected. I have had the charger for over a month and a half and still no resolution. During my last call I asked the support representative if the application ever worked and she said at one time it did. I asked her why didn't they revert to the version that worked. She said she would ask but I never heard anything else. I would look for a different solution if you need WiFi connectivity.

I use my SC1344 to maintain the batteries on my travel trailer during the long Alaskan winter. So far it seems to work adequately. Although my WiFi connection is weak and I can’t always connect. The case is sturdy and connectors adequate. The cords don’t look like they would survive the cold, -40, if flexed. (It does get that cold here.) The only action available is to turn it on or off. It’s a useful feature if you want to track self-discharge or see what a phantom load is doing. The app’s status page has some very small font for the voltage, current and even smaller, nearly illegible, signal strength. With all the white space available, it would soothe my old eyes if the font was bigger. There is no indication when the measurements were taken. A time stamp would be handy. A downloadable history of voltage, current, on/off state and signal strength would be great. With sample intervals user selectable at 5, 10, 30, 60 etc. minutes. An alarm, via text and/or email should be sent if one of several selected conditions occur. My La Crosse Alert TX60 remote thermometer has similar features.

Bought the charger last night because I have had a battery that goes dead on me randomly on my Jeep Wrangler. I know it’s a parasitic draw but it isn’t a regular occurrence so I can easily trace it. The charger works my battery was fully charged this morning, but when I try to use the app there is No history button that I have found. Did the charger turn on and maintain once last night? Did the charger have to turn on and maintain 20 times last night? IDK the answer and that was the main reason I bought this charger over one that cost 1/4 the price. If an update gets released so that a charge history feature gets added, or the option for push notifications when the battery charger is charging I will keep it.
