Battery Tender Use

Strangler

Awesome, good to know. Does the battery tender work for recharging a dead battery when you need it quickly to go somewhere?

No, it is a "trickle charger" and delivers it's charge slowly. I'm unsure if it will charge a dead battery.

No, its usually a 1.5a or less charge. Typically if you drop to where you can't start, the tender will take 4-12 hours to re-charge. BTDT a few times with mine.

Otherwise the tender trickles and auto shuts off once you are at full strength. I use one on a motorcycle and will top off a car when needed
