Battery Tender
 

Just a dumb question here. I seem to have gone through my 2nd battery tender. (Deltran) while looking for a replacement I was wondering if there were any significant difference between them. I have always used the battery tender "plus" but noticed it was more than the Jr. Any drawbacks to using one over the other?

:wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

What are you doing to your Battery tenders???

+1 Why are you on your third tender?

The first one was run over by my last roomate, and the 2nd one I think went bad. The charge light never changes to 80% but when testing the battery it shows a complete charge

i have the second one...for the last 2-3 years. never had an issue with it. never had it run over either. hehe.

are those really necessary? i dont have one. should i get one?

They prolong the life of the battery and not having to worry about a dead battery is never a bad thing.

These things are used for bike's??? I use mine to keep all of my wife's.............."tools" .........fully charged!!! :)

I have the first one, works fine.

The difference between the two models are the number of charge modes they have. Usually the larger ones have 2-3 different modes for fully charging then trickle charging a battery while keeping it connected at all times till it's time to ride. Sometimes the smaller ones need to be disconnected once the battery is fully charged.

I have the junior, it automatically switches from charge to trickle. I leave it on the bikes all the time, no problem. It's chaeper and all you need, so don't believe the hype!

Original battery in my 99 XX. Always been on a tender.

I use the plus, but I know people who use both, either way a tender is the way to go.

I use the Plus too. Need to get another one for the KLR and found www.compacc.com has the Plus for $35 + shipping. Great price.

I use the Junior when I'm away.....
