Which battery tender is best for a regular car battery?

I have 5 battery tenders/ battery tender plus'. I use them on my 6 cars, a truck and even a lawn tractor and a standby generator. I'm happy with them and they cost about $44 or $45 on Amazon.

As already mentioned, the 021-0128 model is the correct one for a car battery. Battery Tender's other model, the 0156, is optimized for deep cycle AGM/gel batteries that are normally not used in automotive applications. The difference between the two models is slightly different voltage points where the unit switches charging modes.

I have a Battery Tender Plus for my cars and I think that it works very well.

Deltran Battery Tender® makes several chargers with more power if you are needing a faster recharge time. All Battery Tender's® are designed to fully charge a battery and then maintain the full charge. A Battery Tender Junior has an output of 750mA and will take nearly 6 times longer to recharge the same battery as a Battery Tender 5 Amp charger (part#022-0186G). If you are needing to recharge quickly or use on a larger battery then you should go with the 5 Amp unit.

You will need to call Battery Tender for specific info. They will point you to the best Tender for the job. I have been using Battery Tenders for over 18 years. First one I had lasted 13 years. They are great. I own a Motorcycle Training Site and have 20 Motorcycles. These Tenders are the ONLY way to go.

I own 3 battery tender pluses for the cars I put in winter storage. These work so well I would hate to recommend battery tender junior. However, I am sure all battery tender products work great.

I don't know as I don't have a battery tender. If I recall, once I put the fluid in to activate it, it hardly any time at all to crank after it being on a standard battery charger.

The Battery Tenders that I have purchased have a couple wiring harnesses included. The first set has alligator clips and the second connect permanently to the battery posts. The opposite end of the harnesses have a polarized plug that connects to the Tender so you can't get it backwards. Just connect whichever harness you choose to the battery and the other end to the Tender and plug the tender in to a 120V outlet. Very easy and virtually fool proof.Hope this answers your question!

Any 12 volt battery charger will work. Just search for 12 volt charger and maintainer and expect to pay $10 to 20. I use Battery Tender Junior 021-0123

there is one for gel cell battery's and one for regular battery's. I now have one of each. I used the regular one on my gel battery the last few years and worker fine. We have two cars now so I got the gel one now. They both work fine. No problems.

These are standard MC4 connectors as used on Renogy and many other PV arrays. To connect to the battery will depend on if you have an automotive battery or a deep cycle battery. Deep Cycle batteries have a 5/8" stud and a ring terminal is the best.Automotive batteries have a variety of terminal types so it is battery specific.

You would be better served to get one of the solar battery tenders (very low cost - sold here on Amazon also). It uses a small solar panel made specifically for charging car/motorcycle batteries. Cheers!

This is only an adapter that attaches to your existing battery tender brand battery tender. This unit does not charge anything. It turns your battery tender that is attached to your battery into a USB charger.

Yes, any 12 volt car battery will work. I prefer using a deep cycle battery.

Same concept, but battery tender is no where close to the excellent CTEK products. I had many problems with the battery tenders I used, including "killing" my batteries. CTEK is the only product I trust. David M's answer is absolutely accurate.

Yes , you can disconnect tender if you want somewhere but if your car keep in garage I recommend leave it charge until you drive. Keeping battery charge keeping it live longer .
