I agree. My Battery Tender brand tender is probably ten years old, with no issues at all.
Has anybody modified one for 16 volts? Been kicking that around.

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

attometer makes/made a model 5000 for battery maintaining --multi voltages --also Schumacher used to make a CR-2 (cost about $20-25) for those little kids battery powered cars superseded by a CR-8 --- about a 1.5 amp unit I believe ---might be worth spending the money to see if you can get one to work on a 16 volt battery probably have to change ends for alligator clips or whatever ---for $20 its worth a try --I think you can get them at Walmart or on line---FED 387
