Jumpstarting, Air Compression and DC Power All in One

The Schumacher IP-95C is a combination DC powered Jump Starter, Air Compressor and external 12-volt power source, that goes wherever you do. Built around a powerful 12-volt, 9Ah, AGM battery, the IP-95C generates 650 peak Amps which can funneled into the onboard jumpstarter rated at 170A @ 5 seconds. Jumpstarting events utilize a convenient on/off switch at the front of the unit, as well as two 18" battery leads that wrap out of the way when not in use. In addition, the unit's charge can also be used to power all manner of DC powered devices via the unit's 12 Volt DC outlet and a user-supplied DC power adapter. The IP-95C also possesses a 150 psi air compressor capable of up to 10 minutes of use at a time, and also a USB port suitable for charging popular handheld devices.

Safety and Convenience of Maintenance Mode Charging

External 12-volt power sources are a must-have accessory for any driver who spends a decent amount of time on the road, but like any battery-based tool, for all their uses they are only as good as the charge they carry when you need them. For this reason most require an ongoing schedule of monitoring and recharging by owners in order to maintain a proper charge without damaging the internal battery, but the Schumacher IP-95C is different. Its built-in charger, fed by an extension cord (sold separately) features Maintenance Mode charging. Maintenance Mode charging is a smart charging cycle that initially charges your battery at an efficiently high rate up to a preset level, at which point charging ceases. When the battery eventually drops below this level again, another less powerful charging cycle begins that is just powerful enough to raise the battery back to the preset optimal charge level. This smart charging does not pose a risk of overcharging, and so enables you to leave your Schumacher IP-95C plugged in all the time. It will always be ready when you toss it in the car and go.

Fast, Automatic 12-Volt Battery Charging

By combining conventional battery charging technology with state-of-the-art circuitry, the Schumacher SSC-1000A Ship 'N' Shore SpeedCharge Charger offers greater versatility, speed of charging and convenience than ever before seen in a battery charger. The charger features an easy-to-use and monitor digital readout on which three output current rates are selectable: 2-amps, 6-amps and 10-amps. The readout also allows for the selection of battery type being charged: standard, AGM or gell cell; and provides data on based on quarter percentages of a full charge that is stored and voltage present at the poles of a charging battery. All these features and data are hightened by the prescence of a powerful microprocessor at the heart of the unit.

The microprocessor of the Schumacher SSC-1000A Ship 'N' Shore SpeedCharge Charger monitors the attached battery's voltage level from the moment it is connected, using this ever-changing data to improve the charging system's multi-stage charging cycle. Multi-stage charging allows a battery charger to automatically cycle, between a variety of charging phases including desulphation, bulk charging, absorbtion, monitoring, float mode and a minimal drip charge maintain mode when a connected battery again falls below a certain set level. The microprocessor collected data is especially important in this cycle in that with it the SSC-1000A can more accurately measure the charging needs of a connected battery, resulting in quicker charge times and a lessened chance of damage due to overcharging.

2-Amp, 6-Amp and 10-Amp Charging Rates

An additional key to the speed with which the Schumacher SSC-1000A Ship 'N' Shore SpeedCharge Charger works is its three available charging rates: 2-amp, 6-amp and 10-amp. By allowing users to choose the best rate for the right battery type and charging needed, the SSC-1000A is able to better supply exactly the right level of charge, at the right time in the charging cycle to get quick results and maintain connected batteries at their proper levels. Details on the three available charging rates include:

  • 10-amp Fast Charge– Charger monitors battery condition and adjusts charge rate to prevent battery damage; for car, truck, marine, RV, farm equipment, AGM, gel cell and deep-cycle batteries.
  • 6-amp Medium Charge– A self-adjusting charge rate for everyday charging needs and keeping your battery in peak condition.
  • 2-amp Slow Charge– A gentle trickle charge for charging and maintaining small batteries; charges motorcycle, ATV, snowmobile and lawn tractor batteries.
