    I want to buy a battery tender for my garage. Something to charge up my own car(s) and to use on a customer car if it needs. Which battery tender should I get? Is there 1 unit that works on all car batteries? Any help as usual would be greatly appreciated!

    I've had great success with this unit: Product Number: YUA1201501

    I leave my garage queen plugged in all the time. No need to unplug. It measure and tests the battery, tickle and float features. Great product!

    I have the Battery Tender Plus it is a 1.25 amp charger. I found it at derbycycles.com for 39.99 thats the cheapest I could find. I also have 2 of the Battery Tender juniors That were 19.99 at .75 amp charger. If you're getting 1 get the plus. If you're getting 2 think about getting one of each. These things are great. You will love them...:thumb::thumb::thumb:

    I use a DieHard portable power but I don't think its what you're looking for. :shead: I use it for emergency power, starting customers cars, and inflating tires.

    I saw that. The Battery Tender Plus is on sale from 59.99 to 49.99...They have some more also but to much money. Good eye

    We've got a CTEK7000 that's been awesome. I've used it to successfully recondition 2 marine batteries that had been written off. Although the 7000 model might be overkill for your usage the 3300 would be a good choice.

    We have always had good luck with SOLAR battery chargers. The prologix chargers are around $100 too.
