Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
The Battery Tender Junior 12-volt/.75-amp battery charger is the small and simple solution to the challenge of keeping vehicle batteries optimally powered when not in use. It is able to charge any lead-acid battery, including standard and sealed AGM and GEL Cell battery types and is also designed to be easy to use in small spaces, to utilize a 4-step charging program and safely function in a fully automatic mode. Taken together this makes the Battery Tender Junior 12-volt charger an excellent means of ensuring that your battery is fully charged and ready to go when you are.

4-step charging with automatic float mode..
Charge any lead acid battery, including AGM and gel cell.. Safe, 4-step Battery ChargingThe Battery Tender Junior 12-volt charger is much more than a trickle charger. It has a "brain". Utilizing a 4-step charging program (initialization, bulk charge, absorption mode and float mode), it allows you to simply connect the charger to a battery, either in or out of a vehicle, and forget about it until you are ready to put the battery to work. Like all Battery Tender chargers, at the end of the regular charger cycle it automatically switches its output voltage to a safe, storage or float level that eliminates the need to worry about the damaging effects of overcharging, and the resulting need to check on the condition of the battery. If/when the battery voltage drops too far under load, output power resumes and the charging cycle begins again. The unit also features sparkproof connectors, short circuit and reverse polarity protection, an easy to understand charging status indicator consisting of a single LED, and almost no current draw from batteries connected to it.
Key Features:

• Perfect for all lead-acid, flooded or sealed maintenance free batteries (AGM and gel cell).
• Complete 4-step charging program (initialization, bulk charge, absorption mode and float mode).
• Automatically switches to float / maintenance voltage after fully charging the battery.
• If the battery voltage drops too far under load, full charger output power resumes.
• Solid state two color LED indicates stage of charger.
• Spark proof and reverse polarity protected.
• 12' output cord.
• 5 year warranty.

Note: All Deltran battery chargers will charge all types of lead acid batteries: either flooded (standard STD), sealed maintenance free Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM), or sealed maintenance free gelled electrolyte (GEL) batteries. However, for optimum battery performance in deep cycle applications (for example, running a trolling motor), it is best to chose the Deltran charger that has the charging software specifically designed for the battery type. Fortunately, since the technical staff at Deltran has developed charging software that works equally well for both STD ; AGM batteries, the only choice to be made is between 2 models: either STD ; AGM or GEL software.

Customer Reviews

In the analysis of buying a Tender Jr. vs. a Tender Plus, the main issues are time to full charge, battery size, ; parasitic draw. The Tender Plus (1.25) will get the job done twice as fast as the Tender Jr. (0.75). Both now are similar architecturally, save it be the charging power ; lack of temperature compensation on the Jr. They both are 4 stage, both have the same sophisticated computer chip technology running the charging process, etc... I spoke to The Deltran(The Manufacturer) customer service department on 3 different occasions, making sure I had the facts right. The first 2 times I was misinformed about the temperature compensation issue. I am editing this review to be accurate as of today's date of 12/01/10. Because The Plus will bring a battery to full charge twice as quickly as The Jr. will, The Plus has a much better chance at overcoming a parasitic draw on your batteries power. Modern cars have sophisticated electronics that require constant power 24/7. Check all your battery connections ; your alternator belt! If the connections are not clean ; tight, clean it with original coca-cola and a rag / brush, make sure they fit snugly. If your alternator belt is too loose it will not charge your battery properly. If you only want to buy one Tender, don't cheap out, buy The Plus if you have the money to do so. If you want to buy 2 or 3 Tenders to make sure all your batteries are fully charged, the Jr. will probably do just fine. I personally alternate The Jr. between 3 different cars, if I had it to do over again, I would buy The Plus instead as I am not a patient person. Both models will turn off in 72 hours automatically if a full charge is not reached, ; neither will start charging without at least 3 volts stored in the battery before initiating a charge. If you left your lights on for 4 days like I did, get a jump, ; drive your car around for 30 minutes before hooking up any Tender to charge your dead battery. Either of these 2 Battery Tenders are the best in the world, don't bother doing anymore research, I have done it all for you. Buy one or buy both! I bought The Plus model a few months ago also... These babies save you $$$, time ; frustration! Get the 25 foot extension if you want to charge a car that sits in the driveway, it's only $12. You might also want to buy the Cigarette Lighter Apapter to charge cars that have the battery in the trunk, like the BMW E39 models. [...]

The battery Tender Jr. comes with 1 set of permanent mount ring terminals ; 1 set of mini jumper cable clamps so you can hardwire 1 car ; use the clamps whereever they are needed.The 1-way quick disconnect on the cord makes things very easy to hook up ; unhook. And it is maintaining my battery fine, no more dead car.
