Battery Tender 021-0123 12-Volt Battery Tender(R) Junior

I bought it for my HD Fat Bob. It is so easy to use that I need not remove battery from bike. I just have to connect to a pig tail connector of my bike with this charger and thats it. It charges and let us know when it is fully charged with light indicator. Now charging my bike is as easy as charging my mobile.

Waste

Perfeito

I have used Battery Tender chargers for many years, mostly on motorcycle batteries, with good results: quick starts, longer battery life, less maintenance. I have two lawn tractors now (a Sears 48" conventional type mower, and a commercial grade Exmark Lazer ZTR) that live in the garage, and normally aren't run much for the three-ish months of late fall-winter in Texas. If you live in colder climates, this charger is even more critical. Hooking it up is a breeze. If you can take a nut off a bolt, you know all you need to know to install the harness. Remove the positive (red) battery cable (this is a good time to clean up the cable end and battery terminal with a small wire brush). The Battery Tender cable has a loop type butt connector on it, so just slip the red harness cable end over the battery bolt, put the positive cable and nut back on and you're halfway home. Repeat on the negative (black) cable. That's it for the harness hookup. Simple, right? Tie wrap the harness in a convenient place where you can get to the connector end, as the harness stays with the battery full time. Kudos to the manufacturer for putting a cover on the connector end to keep it clean. The original Battery Tenders didn't have that! The connector to the charger is a flat two-conductor end that can only be connected one way, so no screw ups there. Even if you manage to do it wrong (wiring the harness backwards on the battery, for instance), it won't hurt the charger, it just won't charge. Connect the harness and charger together, and plug the charger in. There is a light that reflects charging state, and also lets you know if the battery is too dead to charge this way or if the harness is wired wrong. Once it gets back to steady green, you are charged. Now it will turn on and off as needed to keep your battery at optimal levels until next use. This maintenance charge also limits buildup of sulfates in the battery, the main reason unused batteries short out. Yes, it does cost about the price of a lawn tractor battery. In my experience, it doubles the life of the battery and lasts for years so it will pay for itself. But the real value is never coming out of the house ready to go and have a dead battery stop you in your tracks... waiting hours for the charger to get it back into shape, then seeing it not hold a charge because it is sulfated. I do not miss that frustration, and this is a pittance cost-wise to avoid it. A good product from a company that has been making them for long enough to know how. They also make bigger ones for larger batteries. I have owned both types, and they work similarly. It isn't fancy, and won't wow your friends, but it does exactly what it's supposed to do. I like that in a product.

Great product. It's small, well thought-out and does what it says on the box. I travel a lot for work, so my car is parked at home for 2-3 weeks every month. I drive a BMW, and the electronics draw the battery down while it's parked. It will start after 2 weeks but not after 3 if no one runs the engine. So I picked up a battery tender junior and I've been very happy with it. It's small enough to tuck in the trunk, and the detachable leads are a great feature - I leave them attached to my car's jumping posts under the hood, so it takes all of a few seconds to connect or disconnect. It's kept my battery in great shape. In fact I've gained a few tenths of a volt both with and without the engine running, which is pretty fantastic considering my battery is 4 years old. I run a couple aftermarket amps, an obd2 wifi dongle, and a radar detector, which I know is taxing on my car's electrical device, so this guy gives me some peace of mind. And it's a steal for the price... it's a half to a third the price of a decent trickle charger, and it's better for my battery which is going to save me money over time. Very happy with this purchase.

Excelente producto, yo le puse un conector rápido a la batería para solamente abrir el asiento y conectarl, sin necesidad del adaptador, carga perfecto la batería y de lo más rápido posible.

What great product i bought depending on its reviews but it just last for 3 seconds and then it blow up … cheap quality
