Schumacher INC-2405 Automatic Microprocessor Charger

I bought this charger to charge my new Earthwise 24v Lawnmower I bought here on Amazon. I sold the charger that came with the lawnmower on e-bay. I bought 5 Amp instead of 2 Amp so I don't have to wait forever for the battery to charge. You can read my review for the lawnmower on how to connect to the battery. It charged the battery in 8 hours (compared to 24 hours and not fully charged with supplied charger). It has monitoring system, which is great if you do not want to disconnect the batter every time it is charged. I watched some videos on youtube and it is highly recommended.

I'm really happy with this smart charger and I strongly recommend it.

I bought this charger on the recommendation of M. Shatila to avoid damaging the battery on my Earthwise model 60120 lawn mower with the OEM charger that overcharges the battery if it is connected too long. I later bought an Earthwise model 60214 lawn mower, which also has a 24 volt battery, and used this charger for it as well. It worked great for the first 9 months I had it, but then suddenly something failed that caused it to continue charging the battery until it was completely destroyed. I've uploaded some photos to show the end result, which shows that the battery cells got so hot that they literally expanded and the plastic casing melted. There was also a lot of acid spillage, since these batteries are not the dry AGM type. This occurred while the battery was being charged inside the house, and created a mess. So, I can no longer recommend this product, which failed to safely switch to a low trickle charge state after the battery was charged, which is precisely what I bought it for in the first place.

I use this 24 volt charger on my Flow boat lift. I fasten it to the frame under the canopy and recharge the lift batteries over night about once a month. It is small enough to leave attached to the lift all summer while also being strong enough to charge the batteries over night.

After more than 36 hours connected to my 24-volt battery on my lawnmower, the indicator light that is supposed to turn green when the battery is charged is STILL red. I may have to splice the connector into my original, 'dumb' 24-volt charger which required just under 24 hours to charge the battery fully.

I checked the voltage being provided by the charger, about 0.02 volt although it was 36 volts previously.

Boo-hiss.

UPDATE: I just finished reviewing my splicing and the polarity of my connector. It absolutely is correct according to continuity and after re-reviewing the diagram in the manual, as well as the polarity of the plug as indicated on the device. Maybe I will have to have the charger replaced due to a faulty part, and maybe I'll have them replace my lawnmower battery if it cannot be charged.

I got this item to charge my daughters 24v Polaris car. I mounted it on the car and just plug it in to charge two 24v 24mAh battery. I like that it will not over charge it and gives a green light when fully charged. It is also not as big as i thought so that is a plus.
