Summary
Works great with cars, riding mowers, and just about any farm machinery with a battery. A great feature is if you touch both connectors there is no chance of a spark. Charges battery and a lot of indicators. The only minor issue is the green and red lights provide the status: blinking, solid, on or off and it’s not clear what it means. The legend is written on the wall unit and is very small and hard to read. Once the green light goes on, you know your battery is reliable and in good condition. It can save you a lot of money in road recovery or garage repairs. A must-have, especially if you leave your vehicle idle for some time at the risk of batteries going flat.

This battery charger will keep the battery fully charged so that it is ready to go always. It has a microprocessor controlled fully automatic charger and maintainer and is designed to extend the life of any lead acid battery commonly used in automobiles, motorcycles, ATVs, personal watercraft, RVs, boats, aeroplanes, golf carts, backup generator systems, etc. Any vehicle or battery-operated piece of equipment not used on a daily or regular basis is a candidate for a Battery Tender charger. The advanced technology will bring the battery back to a full charge without overcharging and then float or maintain the battery for an indefinite period of time. The Battery Tender Junior 12V comes equipped with alligator clips and ring terminals for easy hookup. An optional 25 feet extension cord (part number 081-0148-25) is sold separately.
