Very interesting Steve. Great to see so many different types to see the differences and which will work and not draw battery charge when it’s off or having to fiddle with settings every time it’s unplugged. Thanks Buddy!

I absolutely love my battery tenders! I keep 6 or so batteries on the bench in the basement for winter and every time I go down there I cycle the tender to the next battery to keep them topped off. I keep permanent tenders on the utv as it still gets used but not often in the winter months! Thanks for sharing Steve!

That’s a good topic Steve. The only use I have for the maintainers is stuff that’s parked for the winter but the other day I went to use my truck....the first time in a few like 3 mounts and it didn’t start...... I know what your talking about ....you don’t want that maintainer to be a parasitic draw on the battery when your using the truck and just park it for a few days before the next use....good one....we have to cover all angles.....CHEERS

I have never used a battery maintainer. Nice set up Steve. Good video info! My wife retired Dec. 31st. I had to replace her battery because she doesn't go anywhere much.

You brought a lot of things to consider to the table when looking for a battery maintainer.

Lots to consider and you covered the bases. The importance of circuitry is something I may have overlooked. For the permanent mount build quality (weather proof cables etc) is also important 👍

Good point! Some makers add bells and whistles to dazzle the consumer into bying their products. Thanks Steve✌

Good presentation, Steve. I learned a few things. Thank you.

Good info here Steve - thanks for the video and enjoy the day. Cheers, Ed

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for the info.

Awesome video. I never use maintainers. I just old school use battery chargers on 2 amps awesome video. 🛠️🇨🇦🛠️🇨🇦

Great video Steve. And not a bad price at all.

Good job pal. Hope all is well up there. Cheers

Good evening Sir, great informative video and very important check point to check before buying 👌👍😉 Keep warm Sir and thank you Cheers 😉👍👌🍻

Thanks Steve. I have some cars I rarely use, so the batteries suffer because of sitting for a month or two, or even three. Looking to have them on a cord between uses. This was helpful.

Thanks great job god bless

Great information!!

Great tips sir. thanks for sharing :)

How's she goin'? This is interesting to me Steve!! I have not had good luck with battery maintainers, so I'm looking forward to seeing this install. Take care!!!

I have 3 batteries tender junior i love them my riding tractor my 2 old cars for 5 years and still doing good the battery always ready Togo

Right, peolpe don't think about the draw, they look at the ma's and buy. I started using a 15 watt solar with a 3 amp reg/charger. so far so good.

So good info there my friend. I have one that's 7 stage desulphate, works great but not sure about the desulphate feature.

Steve buy the Battery Tender WP800. It is the same physical design as your new device, but better because it is waterproof and nearly indestructible. I have 3. Considering the abuse I've put them through, they shouldn't still be working.

Good tips 👍

That pretty smart Steve I wonder how you kept everything starting and it that cold we have one cold day or two and nothing wants to crank!

Have you measured to see what they all draw when not plugged in to 120v? Even with the led off, it could still draw some amps. I would be curious to know. Also, i will go look for your video on how you set these up onboard your vehicle.

I have the old US 3300 Ctek and never had problems. Charged up 6 truck batteries that were labeled dead abd not chargeable. I had a Weathertech that looked like a battery tender and it sucked.

👍👍

I just buy the most expensive charger & maintainer for sale to the general public! Got to be the best since the only one made in the U.S.A.😊

I will have to first see what chemistry the battery is before I buy one..not sure what chemistry mine is in 2023 rav4 hybrid..

Whats best for leaving my 2023 rav 4 hybrid in Florida for 4 months?thanks..

I've got a few of those. I do need a decent charger though

Even with your review the tender junior is a long way ahead all your other one the junior is simple and excellent tender by far

CTEK did not last for me. I can't even tell if it's working or not while plugged in.

Is it safe to use a maintainer on a brand new battery installed on a car that won’t be driven but once a week? Also, can you put your Maintainer on the jump posts instead of directly on the battery? My battery is buried under a bunch of plastic components. And one more question: can you use a battery maintainer to supply your cars computer while swapping out a battery?
