rustyshackleford, Just wanted to mention what happened to my bil. He bought a new gas welder..( Miller ) and when the battery went down, boosted it off. The boosting off fried the circuit board and cost a $1000.00 to replace. It is also a good idea to put in a battery disconnect switch in . It is good to use when the welder is in storage. We also have them on the old JD 4020 tractors now . bordercollie

I have battery minders on everything.
Different model though. https://www.northerntool.com/shop/to...2201_200332201 I think this one doesn’t do Optima? I don’t use the clips, I put 2 pin pigtails on everything. Here is the manual. http://www.batteryminders.com/conten...lus_models.pdf

I've had a battery tender brand battery tender ever since the original battery on my ATV died and I replaced it. That one didn't last 4 months. I paid more for an original replacement and that one was fading and I discovered battery tenders. that was 15+ years ago. Since then I have added battery tenders for the ATV, RTV, ZTR and Tractor. I'm a believer.

Thought I'd post here, was on my car forum GT350 and a long thread on battery tenders. Lots of discussion on how they fail in few years, this unit has more features and 10 year warranty, you have too keep the receipt for proof, pay return shipping. I like the fact that I can charge my small batteries, generator, power washer, mowers then hook them 4 up in parallel and let it desulfate them over the winter, plus it comes with pigtail I can wire in on Shelby, and the twin AGM's on my F350 diesel, and deep cycle on tractor. Trying to 8 batteries up is a pain.

I may have to get one of these. Thanks. Batteries are so expensive now a days and the core charge is around $28.00.So if a little extra care meant a longer life it is worth having for sure. Last time I went to the scrap iron place, some old batteries I took, brought a lot.. .Meaning I got out with $62 for about 4 batteries and $22 for cans. Won't be collecting cans anymore- that was many years worth and they took up too much room even crushed. collie

I have been using these Battery Tenders for years on each piece of equipment that uses a battery. These have given us good service.
Don't overlook your equipment trailer with a breakaway brake battery. I forgot all about mine and after several years of neglect, it failed. https://www.amazon.com/Battery-Tende...+Tender+Junior |

Good point. I used to have a generator I rarely used. Forgot about the battery and when I needed it battery was dead. I've since passed that generator on to my son, along with a battery tender.

Do y'all have any of these new jump starters? There's several but we mainly have this one.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D42U0VO I have a larger one (Micro-Start XP-10) in my truck that will start up to an 8-liter diesel. These battery packs are about the size of a paperback book yet can jump start an engine up to 6.5L 30 times before they need recharged. Also handy to charge cell phones or laptops while traveling. We keep one in each vehicle and I have a spare for around the shop for the RTV, ATV, ZTR, generators or whatever else needs a jump. |

Battery Tender or Battery Mind - both good products, can't go wrong with either.
Like CKing, I have used a Schumacher electronic charger. It has saved several batteries through its desulfation mode but has recently developed a noise in the cooling fan. Customer Support said blowout the fan with a compressor and that should stop it. Said it is just dust. HMMM...we'll see. |

I have a couple tenders. I don’t know how old they are but I have never had one fail.
I put one my boat and one on my ATV every winter. I also have a trickle charger that looks just like one of the minders. Yep put it on the ATV and left for the winter. Battery was toast when I came back in the spring. ![]()

Made the same mistake with a mower...with the dumb trickle chargers, they literally charge the battery constantly. Not only do the tender and minder turn charging on and off as needed, they sense sulfation in the battery and enter a routine to clean the scaling off. Hence the term "conditions" I don't know what it actually does but it works.
Sometimes on eBay, you can find 2 packs or four packs and save a little moola. But they are usually 20-25 dollars when purchased alone. I'd love to buy a pallet of them and hand them out to our members. Oh right, I am poor. |

Everybody on another forum seems excite about CTEK battery tenders, but only a 5year warranty, same technology, and this group has seen some good service, also less cost that CTEK 3300. So if I'm happy with mine looks like I'll buy a couple more. I've got deep cycle that has never seen any use and mediocre care that won't show full charge, we'll if it can bring it back.
