Deltran's 5.0 Amp Power Tender Plus is a powerful and versatile battery charger which can charge everything from the smallest batteries up to the largest, such as those found in cars and boats, by automatically dialing its power output up or down accordingly.

eltran's 5.0 Amp Power Tender Plus is a gutsy battery charger. This unit packs enough muscle to bring a discharged battery up to full charge in less than 2 hours time. Don't let that power scare you, though. A Power Tender Plus can be gentle enough to safely recharge the smallest scooter or moped battery. Truth is, Deltran's 5.0 Amp Power Tender Plus is so versatile it might be the only battery charger/battery maintenance tool you need. This one charger does it all.
     A charger powerful enough for a car, boat or truck battery has to be way too much for any powersport battery, or so goes the thinking. That would be true enough that if you took a normal 5- or 10-amp charger and hooked it to a 20 Ah motorcycle battery. You'd probably fry that battery. But you can hook a 5.0 Amp Power Tender Plus to something as small as a 4 Ah battery and not have a worry in the world. That's because the Power Tender Plus "reads" the battery it's hooked to and automatically dials itself up or down accordingly. The 5.0 Amp Power Tender Plus has a multi-step charging/maintenance program in its "brain," the same as every other Battery Tender. The Power Tender Plus has the same spark protection and reverse-polarity protection as those other Battery Tenders, too. With all that they will never overcharge a battery or cause it to out-gas or bubble over, no matter how small the battery is. And all this happens automatically. Because of the way the Power Tender Plus reads and controls the voltage, current and temperature it can safely be hooked up to anything down to even a tiny 1 Ah battery.
     But having those 5 amps of charging power opens up a whole new world of applications. While the Power Tender Plus can safely recharge the smallest batteries, it can also be used on the biggest batteries in the shop, the ones found in cars, trucks, or boats. This is a versatile piece of equipment, probably the only battery charger many enthusiasts need to keep in the garage. And with a retail price of just $129.95, that's easy to do.
     And should you choose to use it, the Power Tender Plus features a unique dual power-level output. You can switch between the full 5-amp power or a lower 2.5-amp maximum charging rate. All it takes is a swap of the accessory lead connecting the charger to the battery. The standard 3-pin connector makes the full 5-amps available, an optional 2-pin connector dials the output down to 2.5 amps. A couple styles of those 2- or 3-pin leads are available, and they can be left right on the battery terminals making hook-ups quick and easy.
     The Power Tender Plus fits almost anywhere. It measures just 7.75 in. x 5.38 in. x 4.88 in. tall. It has a neat built-in compartment to hold those accessory leads and it will work anywhere in the world, automatically switching between all domestic and international input voltages, 100 - 240 AC @ 50/60 Hz.
     Don't let that 5-amp output scare you off. The Power Tender Plus is a tough customer, but it knows when a light touch is needed. This is the one battery charger that does it all, does it automatically and Parts Unlimited has it. Call your rep today.
