second one in two weeks and i'm done. looking for a better charger to maintain batteries. looking for some suggestions.

 

I have the Dentran Battery tender plus, never had any problems.

 

What kind of battery are you using? The new lithium batteries need a special tender.

 

I have 3 of these, with no problems either.

 

My Tender Plus is going on 6 years of being kicked around my garage floor still working great.

 

I wonder if your having another issue that might be causing these failures?
To have 2 of them fail in two weeks is beyond strange.

I have two of them in my garage right now, one on the Vette and one on the Harley.
They are both over 6 years old.

 

the little sears diehard 2amp tender is crap, they die in a few months.
have 3 year warranty, so just put the receipt back in the box & near your bike stuff,

i ONLY buy DelTrans now. been running three for a few years. i even use them to charge my kids power wheels (from near dead) about once a month.

HD is just DelTran repainted. get the DelTran online, or from "Batteries Plus" store in your town.

 

let us know which brand you are using.

I have a schumacher ( 6/12) and a Deltran...both are over 15 years old.

costco has the deltran ...and a really good return policy!

If you've had 2 Deltran Battery Tenders go bad in two weeks I'd take hard look at the bike. Is the harness wired correctly? Is the fuse in the harness good? Are you plugging the bike up first then plugging the charger into the wall?

Last but not least: Is it a Deltran Battery Tender? The term battery tender has come to mean all battery chargers but there is a difference.

 

When I heard this model was discontinued by Yuasa, and on sale, I bought 2 more (I have 3 total).

This is Canadian pricing so you're looking at $29.50 USD +-. This is an automatic 5 phase maintainer. Plug it in and it does whatever it needs to do. My original has been in continuous use for two years (long Canadian winters & plugged in whenever not riding). It still operates flawlessly, as does my battery.

Yuasa no doubt expects these things to be used on their own batteries. I'm confident this reflects on the quality of the product. They can't blame the charger on the battery nor the battery on the charger.
