Yes, Schauer chargers are equipped with a final stage maintenance float mode. You can leave the charger attached for prolonged periods, and it will not overcharge the battery. This helps maintain the battery in a ready state and prevents sulfation.
The chargers are generally intended for rechargeable Lead Acid type batteries, including Flooded, Gel, AGM, SLA, VRLA, and SLI. Unless specified otherwise, they may not be suitable for Lithium-Ion batteries.
Typically, a Red LED indicates AC power is connected. An Amber LED indicates the charger is in Bulk or Absorption charging stages. A Green LED indicates the battery is fully charged and the charger has switched to maintenance float mode.
