Battery Tender December 29, 2008
GMD (Michigan)
Great product at a good price. Easy ordering and delivery was faster than promised. Wouldn't hesitate to order again and would recommend it.
Great Little Unit! December 28, 2008
C. Weesner
This unit is much smaller than I thought (about inches high by 4 inches wide by 7 inches long). It works great to keep my lawn tractor battery charged up. The cables that come with the unit are about 5 ft. long and the power cord is probably 5 ft. long as well, so if you are using in a garage and want to leave you batteries on their equipment, getting the 25 ft. extension cable would be a good idea.
An essential accessory for every car owner. December 28, 2008

Most people labor under the misconception that periodically driving their car will keep their battery charged. Unless you are regularly putting up hours on the highway this isn't the case. Average around the town driving doesn't run the alternator enough to charge up the battery fully. This situation is exacerbated if you run the battery down for some reason (like leaving a light on or running the battery while parked with the engine off). When a battery is used for any length of time with less than 75% charge, sulfation begins to take place. Sulfation is where the sulfur in the sulfuric acid which acts as an electrolyte in the battery bonds to the plates permanently, reducing the battery's ability to be recharged and basically killing your battery. There's an easy solution - buy a decent battery charger and be sure to top up your battery's charge any time you run it down - or periodically regularly for any car that doesn't enjoy long trips where the alternator gets to charge the battery for hours at a time.
There isn't a better charger around for the price than the Deltran SuperSmart Battery Tender plus. It's the granddaddy - and it does the job quickly and well for a very good price. It has two indicator LEDs which show 4 status states (Verifying the battery, charging, charging with battery level over 80%, and fully charged - on trickle charge mode). This makes it easy to see what the charger is doing and when your battery is ready to roll. The Deltran SuperSmart is has a robust powder coat painted metal body and a modular plug attachment that allow you to hook up various battery connectors. It comes with two connectors (clips for car and marine batteries and rings for motorcycles).
While a battery charger cannot bring back a battery that has fully sulfated, a good one like this definitely can reverse partial sulfating. It's better to prevent sulfating in the first place - and regular use (i.e. quarterly and after each significant battery run down event) will keep your battery in good shape for as long as possible. It's like dental floss for your car's electrical system.
 Works as expected December 24, 2008
J. Bayne (United States)
This is the second one I've purchased. I bought my first one about 4 years ago. Since then my father has pretty much taken ownership of it to keep his boat battery charged in winter.
Last spring my motorcycle battery was dead once again from not getting the same treatment. Rather than take mine back from my pop I opted to buy another one for myself.
I'm happy to say after a bit of charging my motorcycle battery is in Storage mode. I shouldnt need to drop another $80+ for a battery this spring!
