I have a Schauer Charge Master Solid State Battery Charger Model: B6612
Does anyone know anything about it ? What about a manual or such ??

Has a 6v/12v switch @ 6 Amp

Looks to be in great shape, they good chargers ??

They use to be everywhere around here, then again they are made here in Cincinnati and have been for a long, long time. They made (still make) chargers for a wide range of price points and, IIRC, generally good units.

Email them and see if they have a downloadable manual.

Should be an okay charger, but be careful using it for anything but bringing up a depleted flooded cell automotive battery. It says 6A at 6.3/12.6V, but 12.6V isn't enough to charge most 12V batteries so it really operates at a higher voltage. Unless you know what that voltage is, don't use it on an AGM.

I have a Schauer A6612 which still works, and do not have a manual.

This may be helpful from Schauer's website (www.battery-chargers.com):

It's a general manual and I think its good information. I saw an A6612 selling on ebay today for $35. Mine looks better and I have no idea how much I paid for it, I could it about 1973.

I've got a 10 amp C6612 that I bought at a yard sale for $2 over 30 years ago. Still works fine.

I may have the oldest so-far, a 6612 I've had since the mid-1960's. I got it used from a funeral home where it was used to keep the Cadillac hearses' batteries in-shape. These days, I use a Deltran power unit for most things, but this is fully-capable.
