So I think I just killed a motorcycle battery by leaving it on a Sears charger. What brand automatic battery charger do we like now, and where do we like to get it? Thanks. Scott ____________________

I have had good luck with the DelTran Battery Tender products. I think they are overpriced for what they are, but they seem to do a good job. -- == = Never offend people with style when you = = can o

A couple of the subscription-supported (no advertising taken) aviation mags did some studies. For aircraft, they liked the BatteryMinder brand. I have one of these: *http://tinyurl.com/7yz78qp ... an

I've got 7 BatteryMinders, and (obviously) think they're great. 6 little ones and one of the large variety. I keep stored cars, lawn tractor, lawn mower, etc. on them year-round. Don't know about the

I swear by Xtreme chargers: http://www.xtremechargers.com/ I have two single units and one double unit. I have tried other brands, but these units have a patented de-sulfation pulse cycle. They work

I have the battery minder from Northern Tool. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200332201_200332201 It works. It has recovered a few batteries for me, but eventually those recovered batt

I've got a couple of the BatteryMinders (one an older one, the others are the "Plus" models - slightly higher charge amperage). They are great. One car I use it on is a '94 Miata - 18 years old and o

I'll just chime in with advice on what _not_ to buy. I had a Black & Decker float charger and had nothing but problems with it. A couple of times I would go to drive my car (Also an '05 Elise) and th

I've had less than stellar success with my 2/4/8amp BatteryMinder. It seems to work okay as a normal over-the-weekend charger but I haven't had much success recovering 3 AGM batteries that my APC UPS

I don't think AGM batteries become sulfated, at least not in the sense that a lead-acid battery will. _______________________________________________ Shop-talk@autox.team.net Donate: http://www.team.

If a gel-cell battery, or any sealed battery, gets overcharged for long enough it will lose electrolyte, and there's nothing a charger can do about that. Wouldn't a UPS battery be unlikely to get sul

They can (AGM is lead-acid, just with the acid held in a fiberglass mat); but it's a much less common failure mode. As Doug said, they usually fail by loss of electrolyte and no charger can fix that

Oh, there is nothing wrong with the Battery Tender - in fact that's seems to be the favorite among "car guys", but I suspect that it's because it was the first "maintainer". The BatteryMinder just ha
