Overview

A garage with a vehicle or lawn mower that needs its battery looked after gets a compact charger that maintains it on a float charge. It connects with alligator clips or a ring terminal and plugs into a wall outlet.

The low amperage and float charge suit keeping a battery topped up over time rather than reviving a dead one quickly. Two connector options cover clamping on or leaving ring terminals attached. The limitation is missing detail, since battery type compatibility, charge stages and cord length are not stated.

Who it's for

A garage or shed with seasonal vehicles and small engines. Look elsewhere for a quick top-up of a large flat battery, or for a unit with listed battery types.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Float charge maintainer
  • Two connector types
  • Compact and light
  • Several vehicle types listed
Cons
  • Low charge current
  • Battery types not listed
  • Cable length unstated
  • Charge stages unstated

Performance notes

Charging time scales with battery size and the current available, so a low output works slowly on larger batteries. A float mode holds a steady voltage instead of pushing further. The listing does not describe stages or reverse polarity protection.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Battery Tender Plus a jump starter?

No. It is a charger and maintainer with a float charge and a 1.25 amp output, not a source of starting current.

What can the Battery Tender Plus charge?

The listing names car, motorcycle, lawn mower and ATV batteries at 12 volts. It does not list battery chemistries.

How does the Battery Tender Plus connect to a battery?

The cable has alligator clips and a ring terminal, both listed under connector types.

Does the Battery Tender Plus work as a fast charger?

The listing positions it as smarter than a trickle charger and gives a low 1.25 amp output, so expect slow charging of large batteries.
