ight about now riders in many parts of the country are storing away their bikes and ATVs. They’re draining the tanks and tucking that fair-weather fun machine in for a well-deserved winter’s rest. There’s a great sales opportunity right there, and, coupled with the holidays it can be a real boost to the store’s bottom line. Battery maintenance is an important part of this annual ritual. Uncared for, this season’s brand-new battery will become next season’s early replacement candidate. The smart way to store a bike or ATV for a few months is to keep that battery fully charged, and the lineup of Battery Tenders from Deltran is the way to do it. They’re priced right, sized right – and this time of the year, timed right. Everyone in motosports needs a small and handy battery charger/battery maintenance tool, and right now is when riders will make that purchase, either for themselves or as a holiday gift for a friend. A Battery Tender Jr., a Waterproof Battery Tender or the original Battery Tender Plus, priced at $39.95, $49.95 and $59.95, respectively, is an easy sale. It’s almost an impulse buy, something slipped right in the basket along with the oil, oil filter and that can of fuel stabilizer.
     Get those Battery Tenders up on the counter and out on display. There’s no other off-season purchase more important–or easier to sell. Every version of the Battery Tender uses a multi-phase charging program to deliver a strong initial-charge followed with an absorption-charge and then switches down to a sustaining charge to keep a battery at its peak. It’s all automatic, too, and those Battery Tenders will never overcharge a battery, overheat it, damage it in any way, or cause it to bubble over, out gas or make a mess. Battery Tenders work with every style, size, and type of battery on the market, too.
     vWhich Battery Tender is best? That depends on the need. A small unit that plugs into a wall socket, like the Battery Tender Jr., might be plenty for some guys. Other riders might want a little more power, like what’s offered with the 1.25 Amp Battery Tender Plus. Others might appreciate some specialized Battery Tender features, like the outdoors compatibility of the Waterproof Battery Tender. Either way, all Battery Tender models are available through Parts Unlimited, so keeping them in stock is no problem. Now’s the time to do that, too. The riding season might be ending but the storage season is just beginning, and that’s the season for a Battery Tender. Your Parts Unlimited rep can help you be ready for it.
