They are good units but I prefer the Battery Minder Plus, because the pulsing action disulfide's the battery as well as keeping the charge up. BT makes a similar model, I found the BM a little less money comparably

A battery tender.....we ride year round down here so that's one device I can live without (although I have a Schumacher). I usually use it on my hurricane generator....something you guys up north don't have to worry about! Guess we all have our blessings and our demons.

If you spent another $5.00 , you would have got free shipping.

This one is US made and a 5 year warranty. First new battery in thirty years to last 10 years on this unit. Not sure but I think the battery finally going took the charger with it. $19.99 and no shipping if you live near a store.

Has anyone tried the C-tek unit? Can Tire sells them for 50 bucks (when they go on sale).

I have a clone of the C-tek, called "Ultimate Speed" sold for $20 in a local dept. store:

and also a GYSTECH 3800:

bought for $90!

Both tenders are made in China and work fine as long as they received enough heat transfer compound during their assembly. I keep the yellow one on the Harley...
