At 19.95 I may try it for my mower, ATV, and Bike? Any comments or experience with these. Schauer is the only brand I have used for cars for 40 years.

I have a shumacher 1.5 float charger that is maintaining my riding mower, my 12v walk behind mower, and my ATV batteries all at the same time. It works fabulous !
+1 on the Schumacher. It kept my bike running all last Winter as my garage is unattached and unheated. It also comes with a pigtail to install directly to the battery allowing easy connection and disconnection. As a plus, the alligator clamps (for use of charging the battery indoors...also included) I inverted the color scheme (aka idiot proofed them
) so that I can now plug them into the bike and jump the bike with another vehicle.
Came in handy last Winter when the battery died at my favorite coffee spot.
I just leave those clamps in the saddlebags for that very situation...
handy little item that Schumacher Maintainer...and much cheaper than the Battery Tender.
