Battery Tender Plus, 12 Volt

Battery Tender Plus, 12 Volt

The Battery Tender PLUS is a 1.25 amp battery charger designed to fully charge a battery and maintain it at proper storage voltage without the damaging effects caused by trickle chargers. The included ring terminal and alligator cables all contain the quick disconnect mating plug.  The quick connect harness is great for hard to reach areas.  Use this for your Motorcycle, Auto, Boat, Garden tractor and more.

The Battery Tender Plus is a 1.25 amp battery charger designed to fully charge a battery and maintain it at proper storage voltage without the damaging effects caused by trickle chargers. Included is a quick connect harness for hard to reach areas.

• Temperature compensated to ensure optimum charge voltage according to ambient temperature.
• Automatically switches from full charge to float charging mode.
• Battery Tender at 1.25 amps will charge as fast or faster than any 3 amp charger available.
• Reverse Polarity Protection to ensure user safety.
• Complete 4-step charging program (Qualification,Bulk Charge, Absorption Mode, Float Mode).
• 10 year Warranty!Built in 72 hour timer will protect a marginal battery from over charging
• Spark Proof
• Input power:  115 VAC @60 Hz 

Output Cable Connections:  The battery charger DC output cable has a molded, quick disconnect plug.  the ring terminal, alligator clip, and cigarette adapter output cable accessories all contain the mating plug.

STATUS INDICATOR LIGHTS: The following describes the operation of the  status indicator lights:

RED FLASHING  - When the red light is flashing, the AC power is applied to the charger & the microprocessor circuitry is functioning properly, but the DC output cables are not connected correctly.

RED  - When the red light is on, the battery charger is in the process of fully charging the battery.  In order to properly charge large capacity batteries, the charger may remain in this mode for several hours or even days.

GREEN FLASHING- When the green light is flashing, and the red light is on, the battery is greater than 80% charged and may be removed from the charger and used if necessary.  Leave the battery on charge until the green light is solid whenever  possible.  Once the green light begins to flash, it will remain flashing until either the battery charger output current drops below 0.1 amp, or until 6 to 8 hours has elapsed.

 GREEN - When the green light is lit, the battery charger is in the storage mode of charge.  In this mode the charger will maintain the battery at full charge.

Step 1) Initialization:Red Light On or Red Light Flashing: Monitor Circuit verifies appropriate battery voltage levels and good electrical continuity between the battery and the charger DC output.

Step 2) Bulk Charge:Red Light On, Green Light Off: Constant Current at Full Power. Bulk Charge ends at approximately 75% to 80% of full battery recharge.

Step 3) Absorption Charge:Red Light On, Green Light Flashing:  Constant Voltage at Absorption Level. This conditions the battery for optimum performance. Absorption charge ends when the battery charging current drops below the optimum recharge threshold or theabsorption timer expires.

Step 4) Float Charge:Red Light Off, Green Light On. Constant Voltage at Float / Maintenance level. Keeps battery fully charged and maintains high specific gravity. Full charge reset monitor protects battery against excessive appliance current draw while charging. Float charge continues indefinitely.
