Suggestions for a battery 'triple charge' unit
Looking for suggestions for a battery 'trickle charge' device for cars in winter storage. Need to buy 2, so looking for reasonable priced units.
Thanks ! |

2 for 1 ?
If you fake the batteries out of the cars, you connect them and use one charger

I have two of these. Work great with the battery in or out, or for the car if not being used, say, for a month. Can’t beat the price.

Harbor Freight...
Harbor Freight often shows their little battery trickle charger at $6.95. I've got three or four of these. Not powerful for a quick charge (or start), they'll still charge a dead battery overnight.
All purchases are shipped for $8, so the shipping is more costly than the item! (So, order more stuff). https://www.savingology.com/ProductD...UaArfHEALw_wcB |

Can this battery tender be used, attached for several months, In my case this could possibly be for 3-4 months...... I believe the 'Float Mode' option allows for long term storage, without overcharging....... My concern would be for failure, which may cause a fire potential. I ask the same question to the Forum community as well...... Last edited by bigdog; 10-08-2020 at 07:50 PM. Reason: spelling |

I bought one of these last year, and I like it a lot: https://www.batteriesplus.com/produc...ultra/slc10004
They make a less expensive 1.5A one, but both of these are very flexible: 6 and 12 volt; trickle or fast charge; gel, AGM, and standard battery charging; and clips or rings. I might suggest buying one better charger and just moving it over every month. I use this for my trolling motor, tractor, golf cart, and jetski batteries. An alternative was mentioned above in the Battery Tender, which you can get for $35 or so, but only maintains. In either case, I think anything related to battery chargers is worth spending a couple bucks more on for a quality unit. Sent from my SM-G950U using Winnipesaukee Forum mobile app |

Just Announced: Price Reduction...
Quote:
No tax for NH purchases. Get one for every car and boat... I've got three heavy-duty chargers, but they all date from the 1960s and 70s. They're heavy, so they don't get moved around much. One failed charger was a bright orange (6 amp?) charger I'd bought just three years ago. These little chargers are handy—tucked into a glove box, tool box, or battery-storage shelf. Keep them dry.
