Mine is made by Yuasa and I've had it for years. Works great on everything from bikes to mowers

I got mine at Wally Mart for $20. I never got to use it last winter because we didn't really have one.

I've never used one. Battery lasted almost 5 years.

I've used the Yuasa (900mA) and the Battery Tender Jr. (750mA) and they both work great

I like the Battery Minder wall wart. If it lives outside - waterproof Battery Tender.

Can you recommend a good maintainer? I believe the new ones can refresh the battery plates and provide diagnostic information.
