Picked up a Die Hard model at Sears the other day for $20. Has all the features of the Deltran mentioned above and it comes with a three year warranty.

Cyclegear has extended the black friday sale on a DELTRAN Battery Tender Jr. for 19.99. works great for me.

I use the BatteryMINDer. Cost a little more but it has PulseMode for desulphation circuitry built in. Works great on all my batteries.

Why not go with the company that gave them the name Deltran, don't forget your 10% forum discount with coupon HF10 on checkout.

I've been using the "Battery Tender Jr" for the past 18 mos. or so....No problems & was under $25 with the battery pigtail. So far, so good!

I have 3 that I've bought from Walmart for $20..........been using them for years with no problems at all. No need to spend the money on the fancy namebrand ones, they all do the same thing.

For long term charging I have been using the Battery Tender Plus. A little more money but worth it.

I'll be plugged in from Decembr 1st to April 1st. Hoping for an early spring though.

Great product!
