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

Re: Battery tender that actually lasts..
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. Respectfully Keith

The one I have has a 12 volt and 16 volt option. I think it is Auto Meter.
