A Battery Tender is a brand of products for maintaining a car batterys charge, also known as trickle chargers. It is a device that charges and maintains a battery's charge level efficiently, utilizing a four-stage, microprocessor-controlled process. The four stages include initialization, bulk mode charging, absorption mode charging, and float mode maintenance. Initialization ensures the battery is ready for charging quickly, bulk mode charges quickly, and absorption mode charges more slowly before finally maintaining the charge level for optimal longevity and ready use.
The Battery Tender and Battery Tender Plus battery chargers are both designed to provide a quick, economical means to recharge motorcycle and engine start batteries used in other power sports equipment. Both chargers are constant voltage type with precisely regulated output current limits. The Battery Tender Plus battery charger has a 10-year limited warranty, which is unprecedented among battery charger manufacturers. It is also listed with Underwriter’s Laboratories to comply with both US and Canadian electrical product safety standards for battery chargers used with engine start batteries.
A Battery Tender is the opposite of a trickle charger, which is an unsophisticated, less expensive option. Though the purpose is similar, a trickle charger doesn't have the same level of control over the charging process as a Battery Tender. A trickle charger delivers a constant low current charge to the battery, which can lead to overcharging and damage to the battery.
In summary, a Battery Tender is a device that charges and maintains a battery's charge level efficiently, utilizing a four-stage, microprocessor-controlled process. It is a brand of products for maintaining a car battery's charge, also known as trickle chargers. The Battery Tender and Battery Tender Plus battery chargers are both designed to provide a quick, economical means to recharge motorcycle and engine start batteries used in other power sports equipment.
