  • Battery Tenders

    From k9zw@21:1/224 to All on Sun Oct 30 19:55:43 2022
    In the interest of standardization I have been using the actual "Battery Tender" line of winter storage battery maintenance boxes. Have several
    "Plus" models and one "Four Bank" one.

    Noticed at the local motorcycle shop they are using something else, but I didn't get a good look at them. They have several units on a wooden board
    set up so they hook into one mains receptical and had longer whips to reach their display bikes.

    Set me to thinking to ask what are people using?

    I use the Noco Genius brand of charger/tenders on my vehicles. I've worked in the Battery industry for some time (for one of the largest Battery suppliers) and they carried Battery Tender. Both seem a capable product. In my person experience and opinion I prefer the Noco Genius brand. They seem high quality than the Batt Tender for the cost.

    Thank you!

    I also spotted Kalamazoo - for a quite a while the Airzoo Museum had one of my ex-vehicles on display.
