SC1308 Starter/Charger 100/30/12/2A

Overview

The Schumacher SC1308 (SC1308) is designed for advanced diagnostic testing, engine starting, and battery charging across 6V and 12V automotive electrical systems.

Technical Features

• 100A Engine Start capability — delivers the high-current burst required to crank engines that have discharged or weakened batteries.
• 30A Boost mode — provides an intermediate high-current charge to rapidly restore surface charge to deeply depleted batteries before a start attempt.
• 6A and 2A Charge/Maintain rates — lower charge rates allow for controlled, sustained charging and maintenance of battery capacity without overcharging.
• Dual voltage support (6V and 12V) — compatible with a wider range of vehicles and battery types, including older 6V systems and standard 12V automotive batteries.
• Integrated battery and alternator tester — enables on-the-spot diagnostic testing to assess charge level and identify electrical system faults without additional equipment.
• Multi-rate output selection — four distinct amperage settings (100A, 30A, 6A, 2A) provide operational flexibility across different battery conditions and charging scenarios.

Applications

• Engine starting for vehicles with discharged 6V or 12V batteries
• Rapid boost charging prior to engine start attempts
• Standard battery charging for passenger vehicles and light-duty applications
• Battery maintenance and trickle charging during storage or standby periods
• Diagnostic testing of battery charge level and alternator output
• Troubleshooting electrical system issues in automotive repair and service environments
