hink about this for a minute…how many times has a rider come in looking for one thing or another and he’s brought along a buddy? While that customer is shopping for a helmet or whatever, what is his pal doing? Probably staring off into space. There’s nothing here to interest him, right? Or is there? Okay, so maybe that guy is not into motorcycles, but he could have a few vintage cars or custom trucks. He probably has a shed full of power equipment back home. What does all that have in common? All of it, even that lawn tractor, starts with a battery and every battery needs a Battery Tender.
     A Battery Tender is a must have for anyone owning anything dependant on a battery and there’s a Battery Tender for every need, application and budget. From the top-of-the-line Power Charger Plus to the palm-sized Waterproof 800 there’s something for everyone here–not just those bike riders and ATV customers. When it comes to a Battery Tender think wide scale. Give everyone coming into the store something to take home.
     For someone needing one charger/maintenance device that does it all it’s tough to beat Deltran’s Dual-Output Power Tender Plus. Powerful enough to charge up and maintain the batteries in a giant Dually Pickup, it also automatically dial itself back and safely charges the smallest batteries found in a motor scooter. The 5.0 Amp Power Tender Plus easily switches between 5.0 and 2.5 amps with supplied connectors. There’s a multi-step charging/maintenance program here, too, the same as in every other Battery Tender. Big or small, the battery will never be overcharged, never out-gas or bubble over. A brute when it needs to be, the Power Tender Plus can safely charge and maintain even the tiniest 4 Ah battery. There’s a lot to sell here, and not to just motorcyclists.
     The rest of the Battery Tender lineup has plenty to offer those non-riders, too. Just $59.95 gets the original, the Battery Tender Plus, the workhorse of the lineup. It comes with a strong 1.25 Amp multi-step charging/maintenance circuit and it works on all battery styles. And as simple as it is, it’s feature packed. There is temperature compensation, a 72-hour safety timer, even a 10-year warranty. The Battery Tender Jr. is even simpler. $39.95 buys this 750mA multi-step charger and, just like the Plus and the Power Tender it’s fully automatic, recharging and maintaining a battery completely hands-off. The Jr. works on all maintenance-free, AGM or flooded lead-acid batteries, plugs right into a wall socket, there’s a 12-foot output cord and a 5-year warranty. And for that lawn tractor out in the shed the Battery Tender Waterproof 800 is just about perfect. It’s completely waterproof and another plug-it-in-and-forget-about-it deal. Completely automatic. This one sells for $49.95, almost an impulse buy.
     The point here is that when it comes to Battery Tenders it pays to think beyond just two-wheelers and ATVs. Anyone who owns anything with a battery needs a Battery Tender, and you already have them in stock. Sell them, and when you need to re-stock Parts Unlimited carries everything you need.


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.


The powerful 1.25 amp Battery Tender Plus works on all battery types and is a steal at just $59.95.
