n many parts of the country riders are right now storing away their bikes and ATVs for a well-deserved winter's rest. Going hand-in-glove with that, the holiday season is fast approaching. Combine those two and you have one heck of a sales opportunity, especially for small, almost impulse-buy items that are definitely needed right now and just happen to make great gifts.
     We're talking about items like all those Battery Tenders you already have in stock, the Battery Tender Plus, Battery Tender Jr. and the Waterproof Battery Tender. Now's the time to get those little jewels out from behind the counter and up front where they'll be seen. Ranging in price from just $59.95 for the Plus, $49.95 for the Waterproof and only $39.95 for the Battery Tender Jr. these Deltran charger/maintenance tools are all welcome additions to any powersport garage, and at those prices the Battery Tenders fit into just about everyone's holiday budget.
     The guys at Deltran have some great ideas to help you get the message across to your customers that the Battery Tenders are available, they're priced right, this is precisely the time of year when they're needed and that that they make great gifts. A really effective sales plan, they've found, is to put all three of those smaller Battery Tenders on one display rack and position that display right up on the counter where everyone sees it. With a tasteful sprinkling of holiday decorations around the edges as a final touch, the point, and the sale, is made.
     Which 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. It's certainly handy enough. Other riders might want a little more power, like what's offered with the 1.25 Amp Battery Tender Plus. Still others might appreciate some specialized Battery Tender features, like the outdoors compatibility of the Waterproof Battery Tender and its almost indestructibility. You could throw this thing into a bucket of water and then run over it with your car tires and it wouldn't skip a beat! All three versions of those Battery Tenders, of course, will automatically charge and maintain a battery at its peak voltage. All three use Deltran's multi-phase charging program to deliver a strong bulk-charge, an absorption-charge and then automatically switch down to a sustaining charge to keep that battery fully charged. Those Battery Tenders will never overcharge a battery, either. They'll never overheat a battery, there's no bubbling over, no out-gassing, and no chance of battery damage. There are optional 25-foot-long extension output cords available, too, so plug-in and connections are a snap.
     Battery maintenance goes right to the top of any bike or ATV storage list. Uncared for, this year's new battery will become next year's replacement candidate. The smart, money-saving way to store a bike, ATV and its battery is to keep that battery charged, and you have everything needed to do that with the Battery Tender lineup. Take a cue from the guys at Deltran. Get those smaller Battery Tenders out on display. They're great off-season purchases, great holiday gifts and Parts Unlimited has them all.
