Battery tender that actually lasts..
 

Anybody have a good battery tender that lasts longer than a year or so?
I’ve been through three Schumacher’s in three years and I know there have been fires from cheap Chinese tenders as well.
Any recommendations?

The fact that you said battery tender is funny. The Battery Tender brand has worked great for me for years. Pricing is pretty decent also. Just what has worked for me.

I have had one of the automatic ones that Grainger sells for $80.00 and it seems to work alright. I use it just to keep a charge for the battery in the car or the break- a -way battery for the trailer. I wouldn't rely on it to start anything though.John Kissel

I have a battery tender brand that stayed on our dump trailer for 5 years. Now it is on my race car

I have been using the Battery Tender brand for 10 plus years on over thirty, yes 30+ vehicles,
I have them on both race cars and two classic cars.
Also on all of my Police Department specialty vehicles, there are over 30 of them. only one failure in this time.

I got one of those cheap Chinese ones for Christmas and stuck it on the race car being stored in the trailer. I checked on it in an hour or so and it scared me on how hot the thing got. I'd definitely stay away from those.

In addition to the Battery Tender brand products, I have had excellent success with the Noco brand of chargers.

I have two Battery Tender Jr that I've used for a few years now with no problems.

On another forum that I frequent, there seem to be a lot of Battery Minder fans.

My first Battery Tender brand lasted from 2001 to this past winter, then stopped working. Bought the same one again-the original had been used on several motorcycles and cars over 19 years.
