Schauer CM6A battery charger

Anyone have any experience with this battery charger? Looks like a good deal, but need some feedback before buying.

Looks like it has most of the features one would want-- the ability to dial it for AGMs or whatever battery type you have -- desulfating feature--smart charging.

Questions would be about its durability and how it handles the elements. Also, one important feature it doesn't have is a temperature sensor which will greatly enhance AGM life if you have one.

Here is a good, straight-forward article I found about how controllers work.

Thanks, that's an informative link.

I ordered the charger and will post up when I install it.

I've gotten some emails asking about this charger. I have it installed in my nose box on my trailer project. It's hooked up to my Optima Yellow Top and has been working well with no problems.
