It's bit overkill for maintaining battery charge since those are usually around 1-2AMP bit it can be used as such as well.
These chargers do NOT have internal battery.

Or do people keep the garage door open when using this kind of battery tender but that may not be safe in some area or during winter may not be ideal to keep the car/battery from freezing ....
The battery will not "freeze and swell" unless the charge goes below 12 volts. At 12.5v i think the battery water freezing temp is -70f. However a dead battery will freeze over in the upper 20's. Ant chemistry scary.
to address the prior post above, this is not a "jump starter" with an internal battery to charge.
After looking at the box I got, it says model SP1298. If you type that in on autozone's website it pulls up the one with wifi this SD post is about: SC1599.
Edit: This is the one they gave me: https://www.amazon.com/Schumacher...J6
But put SP1298 into autozone's website and see what happens.

However, in an enclosed space, all of those gases are building up in an enclosed location and they aren't going anywhere. Wonder if anyone worry about that kind of issue.

I can't find a user manual for this model anywhere online. The SC1599 is curiously absent from the Schumacher website. And documentation for similar models provide absolutely no data on the charging profiles for either SLA or LiFePO4.
Is it really asking too much to see what the charging voltage is for a f'ing CHARGER product???
