I'm a female. My son told me that I needed to buy one of these, because my car battery goes dead far too often. Your video is clear and concise and really helped me understand how to use it! Thank you!
It's a lifesaver I'm so glad I found it and then I wanted to share so I'm glad this helped you thank you so much
I heard about Battery Tender many years ago. But I’ve only started using one recently, which I bought from our dealer (they have a private label version).
Definitely has saved our battery several times. We’re going to get the ring terminals installed the next time we need to take the vehicle into the dealer.
I’m glad it isn’t expensive as well
Hey Tech! Been using Battery Tender for nearly 20 years. Great brand and great products! Very reliable.
Thanks Kraz definitely impressed myself
"Been using Battery Tender" - Me too. But folks should also know that they will dry out your cells if continuously plugged in (It in fact heats up the cells, this KILLS your battery !). Better to have these battery Tenders first plugged into a TIMER; I set mine for only four hours a day. This allows the battery to cool down & not get to the point of 'boiling'; less chance of drying out the battery electrolytes (lifeblood of the battery).
Been using the Battery Tender brand for years.Top notch product thats never failed me.👍👍
Life saver, never knew they existed.
The easiest way to preserve a car battery is to simply disconnect it whenever the vehicle is not in use for any great period of time. I'm on my 11th year with the same battery doing so, I only use the car in the summer months. Starts like a champ every single time, I've never had to charge or jump it.
hi thanks for your comment, the challenge with the new cars ( some of them ) is disconnecting the battery can cause other problems
I barely use my car so this will be a life saver for me.
Has definitely saved me on batteries
I plugged in my 1.25 A charger 'Battery Tender Plus', like your 4 Amp charger, to my handheld spotlight ( came with a plug socket like your scooter) and the orange and green alternate in flashing. My battery is a 12 volt and I'm guessing it means it's 80% charged . Never seen the orange and green flash alternately before. I did check the plug for POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE to make sure the plug was on it ok. I also just replaced this battery and used it a few times also. The green 12v light stays solid.
I've been using the Battery Tender Jr for at least 3 years now. I just this morning threw one of the ring terminal hook ups to my 95 f150s battery. I haven't threw one on my wife's 2019 Escape yet. I also have the clips right now on our van since Iowa is really cold during the winter. Sometime I will grab a 2nd Tender Jr so I can use both at the same time. One of the best $25 investments I've made since moving out I use it year round!
Hi IowaFox I agree, I never knew about this product, replaced a few batteries and now we'll, it just works and I love it 👍🏻
@@TechMadeEzy I found out about these a few years back from Wranglerstar here on RUclips. The next time I went to the store I grabbed one. These also make great gift ideas.
Does the battery tender jr can actually charge a car or truck battery??????????
I’m trying to buy one for my mower I’m just trying to figure out if I buy a jr or a higher amp chrger
@@rromero1318 if it's dead dead Its iffy. But if it's just low yes it will charge it and maintain it and work it as if it's in the vehicle running.
I believe a non Jr model would be best for a truck
I just watched the end of your video which answers my earlier question. Thanks for the video.
Welcome to the channel also and thanks for watching our video
Folks should also know that ANY battery charger maintainer will dry out your cells if continuously plugged in (Even a low amperage model, they in fact heat up the battery cells, this KILLS your battery !). Better to have these battery Tenders first plugged into a TIMER; I set mine for only four hours a day. This allows the battery to cool down & not get to the point of 'boiling'; less chance of drying out the battery electrolytes (lifeblood of the battery).
I did not know that, thanks for sharing
The Jr works great on my Corvette
Is it safe to use the battery tender while battery is still connected to the vehicle. My vehicle has a lot of bells and whistles such as cell service so I can access the vehicle information with a mobile app. I don’t want to disconnect the battery from the vehicle but I also want to maintain the battery since I work from home and drive the vehicle maybe once a week for about 15 miles round trip. I also have a dash cam with parking mode that is constantly powered on. My concern is the charger would do something to the vehicle components and/or dash cam.
If I understand your question, you don’t need to disconnect your battery from the vehicle to use the battery tender the battery tender is really a trickle charger. So your battery stays connected to your vehicle and you simply connect the battery tender to trickle charge your battery in cases where you’re not using the vehicle for a while.
Can you use the battery tender while the battery is connected to the car by the terminals ? or you have to disconnect the terminals ?
Yes The battery can be connected
I have the 4 amp :) I use it together with my Halo Bolt 58830 Mwh Portable Phone Laptop Charger Car Jump Starter with AC Outlet ,instead of connecting it o a Wall Outlet!
I have the 1.25 AMP Battery Tender Plus along with optional Deltran OBD2 port connecter and its been working great for years. If I were to go to the 4 Amp version you have in the video, would the amps be too high to charge thru an OBD2 port?
Hi Carmine, I really don’t know that your best bet is contacting the manufacturer OK
Excellent video. I went out and bought the 4 amp for my truck. Nowhere in the instructions does it suggest 'how often' I should use this product. My vehicle is only driven once or twice a week and less than 10 miles each trip. I know it could be used daily, but that's probably not necessary. Any idea how often it should be used ?
Thanks Chris
Not that I’m certified or anything but I would say 1 week on 1 week off? I keep mine plugged in for months during winter
Will deffinatly take this product into consideration, have a great night my friend
Good night thank you for watching
Ok, tell me what you recommend for the vehicles listed. john deere gator, husq dirt bike, harley street glide, chevy truck and tahoe and case tractor?
I wish I could say I know it all but I don’t your best bet is going to the manufacturers website taking a look and I’m sure you can contact him as well.
www.batterytender.com
It looks like you have the positive cable removed from your Mustang battery. Is that just how you store it? Or, do you remove that first before hooking the tender up to it? Should you remove both the positive and negative cables from the battery terminals before using the tender? Thanks!
My Mustang sit in the garage during the winter months so I disconnect it from the car but I actually trickle charge the battery so it doesn’t go bad. They say it’s not recommended especially for current models although that’s a year 2000.
I am gonna need several. I have john deere gator, husq dirt bike, harley street glide, chevy truck and tahoe and case tractor. What do you recommend?
The price is right I would just buy a few of them they work great
Thanks for the great video. I have 3 boat batteries which I want to bring home over winter. I don’t want to buy 3 of these. Can I rotate charge the 3 batteries. Meaning bring one to 100% charge, then switch to another one…then repeat once a month? Or is there a better charger for that application. Thanks again.
This might work

Email the manufacturer to be sure
support@deltran-global.com
Much thanks.
@Chainanalyst good luck and let me know how it goes
Good for motorcycles and riding lawnmower too.
Definitely thanks Nathan, you have one?
No. My boss used one for years for his harley. He swore by it.
I didn’t know it existed, glad I found it, love it works great
@@TechMadeEzy my local motorcycle shop sold them for years. Glad u found it. Set it and forget it.🤣
Thanks
I just bought a Battery Tender Plus, do I connect to AC and then to my bike or the bike first? Thank you
Hi Artie
Connect to wall power then connect it to your vehicle, it's very safe.
@Tech Made Easy Wow, thank you so very much for your quick response. It was very much appreciated.
My pleasure Artie
I would connect to your bike or car first then plug the battery tender to the AC because as safe as it may be I don't want to plug it into the AC without knowing where the other end are. They might be touching each other, in a puddle of water, etc.
@@enufots4621 thank you, very much appreciated.
When the dealership said I needed a battery tender they meant this. Truck can’t even sit a week without going flatline. 1 year old has 10k miles on it so it’s not like it doesn’t get driven but sheesh. My truck officially is going to identify as a plug in hybrid after this 😂
Love this, works great worth every penny
I know this isban old post but my new Ford truck did the same. They blamed me on not driving it. What a crock. Finally they admitted it need a new battery. Was faulty to begin with
It’s definitely good to trickle charger. Battery of your vehicle is going to sit around especially for weeks and months.
have one of each, for my Heavy Chevy car and my KTM motorcycle 👍
They work great
Is it safe to leave hooked up to battery in a car that is stored in a Florida garage that is not air conditioned and gets very warm in the summer.
I would check the manual or with the manufacturer on the temperature operating conditions that's usually in the manual there's always a limitation
This looks like a good unit. I have a diesel truck that I do not drive often and is always going through batteries - but it's always parked outside; would a 3 or 4 amp charger/tender be able to sit under the hood and still work with the weather?
I'm not sure, I keep mine in a non-insulated garage so it gets cold and it gets hot but it has some protection against the weather you're better off checking with the manufacturer
you do not need the 3 or 4 amp unit.
For maintenance only, the .75 or the .80 unit will take care of the battery just fine. It will cycle the voltage, keep the voltage topped off and desulfate the battery. You can leave it on all of the time without any danger to the battery or the system. Really not necessary to be on all of the time though. You can use it on other batteries as necessary. Unless your truck has an electrical issue causing battery drain, you should only need to use the Tender about once a month for a couple of days to keep the truck battery in good condition...
I have one Tender Jr and move it around to different vehicles and also other home batteries to keep them all in good condition. Been doing this for years and have some batteries over 10 years old still in good condition.
@@joemcmillan2089 Mostly it's the truck's security system, we just don't drive it enough
But I've gotten the 3 amp already, just been putting off hooking it up correctly; so much snow - thanks
@@Agent505 The 3 amp unit will provide much faster charging for when a battery is discharged. Will not create any issue. As I have a couple of full size chargers, I chose the 800 mA unit - now I hardly ever use the larger units. You'll be happy with your purchase..
It was great explanation...thanks
Thank you
I noticed that the positive lead was disconnected on your car. Does the battery need to be disconnected?….or can you leave the leads on the battery?
Keep your leads connected this was a demonstration honestly before this product I used to keep my battery disconnected on my Mustang because it's an older vehicle and it would sit in the garage for a few months during the winter I hope that helps
@@TechMadeEzy ..thanks
Can I use the battery tender 4amp battery charger for John Deere d130 riding lawnmower with John Deere strongbox battery ?
Should work, can’t do any damage no matter what. Built in protection but if you want, reach out to the manufacturer and double check support@deltran-global.com
I never understood the small ring terminals. Do they really fit most car battery terminals?
I’ve never used them, They don’t fit any of my batteries
the would fit on my motorcycle batter so they are probably for that
Huh? You are kidding me right? The clamps on the battery cable typically has a bolt and a nut to which you tighten to squeeze the clamp so that it is secured onto the battery terminal right? You remove the nut, slide the ring terminal onto the bolt, screw the nut back on. Now, run the cable to an opening between the grill in front of your car. Make sure the cable is zip tied so it doesn't hit any moving parts. Now, you don't even have to open the hood to hook it up.
They also work great on GM side-terminal batteries.
I know this is an old video, but have you used these outside much? My car battery completely died because of the cold and we don't have a garage so ideally I'd like to close the hood a little bit while charging
Hi yes I’ve used this outside with my good mostly closed, didn’t have any issues. We only have so much room in the garage and we had to trickle 2 vehicles
Bought one 4.5amp. Connected it for about three hours now and the amber light still blinks. Connection is correct. I don’t know what could be wrong.
Keep in mind it’s a trickle charger, I don’t remember the colors but if it’s flashing, hopefully it’s trickle charging. It has a lot of protection so I won’t really do any damage. I would say overnight if it’s still flashing in the morning, give their tech-support people to call they should be able to help. I’m sorry I couldn’t.
@@TechMadeEzy Thank you.
My battery tender seems defective. Everytime I charge it it always says fully charged. My snowblower and my truck says the same. Any idea?
No sorry, I just trickle charge my scooter and mustang, have you called support?
@@TechMadeEzy not yet no. It starts off for a minute saying charging than after solid green
Mine does that as it trickle charges, orange then green after a little while and stays green and trickle charges
@@TechMadeEzy mines a brand new battery. Well 2 weeks old. Wanted to charge it for first time
New batteries usually are pretty full correct?
I have a sla 12volt 12ah and a sla 18 ah. Which charger would you recommend?
I’m not an expert honestly, I recommend checking their website. I use the 2 I reviewed and I love them.
Good review 👍
Thank you
Will the 4 amp charge a completely dead battery?
Not sure, I'd contact the manufacturer to be safe
Tech i have an important question. I have a 2017 Dodge Challenger. It has the battery in the trunk along with speakers and a tire inflator. Is this a problem? Thank you.
What's the question Robert?
@@TechMadeEzy Simple question is do open the trunk and connect the tender there or do i open the hood and connect the tender there? WHICH is the question.
Hi Robert I open my hood and leave it connected there, easy to disconnect when I need to drive
my motorcycle battery lasted for 6 yrs, using a battery tender.
I’m so glad I found out about this thing because it really helps like you said
When do you need to pop the caps of the battery? I bought 3amp from crappy tire
Not sure I understand Brett
Can i use this in minus 7 celcius weather
The caps on the battery. Do they stay on?
Not sure here is the email to the Company
support@deltran-global.com
If you have caps that means the battery is new, take them off and throw them away if you will be using the battery
Those are the 2 I got also lol
They work great right 😊
