The versatile Battery Tender Waterproof 800 is ideal for outdoor storage. It features a 800mA charging rate and is completely waterproof.

ou know about Battery Tenders; they’ve been around for years. That name itself has even become a kind of shorthand for all those plug-in-and-forget-it battery chargers/battery maintenance tools so familiar and so popular, but the Deltran Battery Tender is the original. Deltran’s Battery Tender Plus, with its 1.25 Amp four-step circuit, its temperature compensation, the 72-hour safety timer and its spark- and reverse-polarity protection might be the best-known of them all. There’s even a 10-year warranty on this one. The Battery Tender Junior’s probably pretty familiar, too. The Junior’s 750mA multi-step charging rate is also fully automatic, and this little charger works on all the maintenance-free, AGM or flooded lead-acid batteries out there. It’s a real bargain, retailing for just $39.95.
     But do you know about Deltran’s Waterproof 800? Boy, you sure should. This Battery Tender is a perfect match to the needs of just about every ATV rider, everyone in the watercraft crowd and snowmobilers, as well. The Waterproof 800 is a battery charger that goes anywhere and does it all. It’s the size of a standard computer mouse, but don’t let that little package fool you. The Waterproof 800 packs an 800mA charging rate. That’s more initial charging power than even the Battery Tender Jr. And the Waterproof 800, as the name states, is completely waterproof. The charging/maintenance circuitry is totally encapsulated in epoxy. You could drop this thing into a bucket of water and the Waterproof 800 wouldn’t skip a beat. It would just run cooler. Riders using, storing and even maintaining their powersport equipment out in the elements where things get wet will really appreciate having a Deltran Waterproof 800 in their arsenal. The Waterproof 800 retails for $49.95, so the price is right, too.
     Like all Deltran Battery Tenders the Waterproof 800 is a fully automatic charger/maintenance tool. It plugs directly into any wall socket, or generator when you’re out on the trail, and there’s a 12-foot output cord standard with an optional 25-foot extension cord available. The Waterproof 800 will re-charge and then maintain any maintenance-free, AGM or flooded lead-acid battery, meaning it’ll work on any ATV, PWC or sled. And the Waterproof 800 is completely automatic. Once a weak battery has been brought back to a full-charge the Waterproof 800 automatically switches to its “float” mode and will keep that battery at full charge indefinitely. The Waterproof 800’s circuitry won’t allow the battery to be overcharged, either. There won’t be any out-gassing, overheating or bubbling over. No monitoring is involved, either, at least not on your part. The Waterproof 800’s LEDs let you know what’s happening at a glance, charging or maintaining. And all of this comes in a package that fits in the palm of your hand. The Waterproof 800 can even be Velcro-mounted and left right on the machine.
     Show your ATV, PWC and sled-riding customers the Waterproof 800. This is definitely the battery charger for them. A battery charger made to work around water isn’t something you’ll find everywhere, but that’s what Deltran’s offering here. It’s available through Parts Unlimited, so contact your rep today for more information.
