| I would have guessed that this would be one of those "too good to be true" products, but it's NOT! It IS true - all of it. I leave it attached all the time I'm not driving. When it's (the battery) charged the green light shines. If it gets close to overcharging the battery it shuts itself off, then comes back on when the battery's charge drops even a little. The design is logical and tidy. Honestly, this charger would be a bargain at TWICE the price. Two things you need to know: 1> If you're trying to charge a dead battery it might not work - you MAY have to "jump start" your battery just to get a detectable amount of current. 2> While your wallet's open buy the "extension cable" and maybe the terminal leads that you can leave attached all the time. You WILL be glad you purchased this charger! |

| I have about 13 cars in my collection with both 6v and 12v systems and wanted to make sure the batteries are always up and ready to go. The Battery Tender does this for me with little effort. It comes with two different connections and I love the direct connect pigtails for easy connection. One other benefit from having the battery fully charged is that the batteries do not sulfate and last much longer. I have had batteries last 10 years. Just would hope that you would carry the 6v Battery Tender also - I need another one. Gert |

I had my Vespa dealership recharge my Piaggio BV250 battery after winter storage. They actually used this battery tender to charge it for me. However, they only sold the Deltran Tender Jr (0.75 Amp). This charger has a faster charging time than the 0.75 Amp. My batteries charge in about 4-6 hours whereas the Jr take about double that (though exact timing obviously depends on how depleted your batteries are). I've used this charger since then and it's been great. It's simple to use: plug it in, connect the clamps or leads to your battery and wait for the green light to light up (indicating a full charge). There are two sets of connecting cables (one is a clamp and the other a screw on) which is good depending on your need. One benefit of these two cables is that they actually fit into each other and can be used to connect your battery to your bike WHILE your battery is outside of your bike - I had to use this feature because I accidentally shut my seat (lock is battery powered) when the battery was out and had to connect my battery remotely.
If you have a Vespa or other scooter, I would highly recommend getting this charger. In cold weather, scooter batteries die in about 3-6 weeks of inactivity. |

| I ordered the Deltran Smart charger (tender) as it's the same unit that BMW uses. It had nothing but great reviews and so far I'm very pleased. I have it hooked to my Generater to keep the battery charged and ready as it's Hurricane season in FL. They claim their charging method will actually make the battery last longer, that would be nice, but time will tell. Comes with two end, standard clips and type that you can bolt on to the battery lugs. There is a disconnect in the cable so you can leave it attached to the battery and just plug the charger. The side on the battery even had a nice little plug so you can't short out the battery if the cable is moving around after being disconnected. Very pleased so far and would buy another one if I needed it. |

| This charger/tender works exactly as promised. I like the fact that you dont need to babysit it. My only concern is that it gets very warm while charging my trolling battery. That may be normal but should there be a problem, there is a 10 year warranty. How many products do you know of which have THAT? |

I have a 1967 Ford truck that can be quite a drain on the battery at times, especially during the colder months. I purchased this before last winter, and never once had an issue with the battery being too low or too cold, despite some pretty frigid temps. I set this on a shelf just in front of and above my truck, and leave the lead to the charger hanging. I then wired the battery end to my battery and channeled it so the plug end can be pulled through the grill. It's nearly invisible when it's not in use, but is very quick and easy to plug up. I've gotten used to just plugging up the truck every time I'm done with it, and this little puppy brings it up to full charge fairly quickly!
Highly recommended, especially if you have an older car that either doesn't get driven much or is a heavy drain on the battery. |

| I actually own one of these. I have it on my 4 wheeler that I use mainly for plowing in the winter. It works like a champ keeping my battery always perfectly charged and ready to go. It does the charging without harming the battery by doing a computerized discharge and charge. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has a problem with battery's going dead on cars, atvs, boats or anything with an automotive battery. The included quick connect clips are super easy to install and make it easy to just plug in when the vehicle is not in use. |

| Good product for keeping battery fully charged. Keep in mind it's only 1.25a, so it's not good for charging a big battery from a discharged state. I use a 10a charger to get the battery up to about 90%, then switch over to this thing. Indicator lights make it easy. Set it and forget it. |
