"Battery Charging Technology"
Written by Keith Fudge

 

Today at Eastwood Garage, Mike Prelec joins Dennis to tell him about the latest technology in battery maintenance for all types of vehicles.  By this time, we have all become familiar with Deltran’s signature product, The Battery Tender.  This device has revolutionized battery maintenance and has the potential to save owners a great deal of money on battery replacements and the frustration of getting ready to go for a ride or a drive and experiencing the “click, click—dead battery blues.”  Mike begins by telling Dennis that the Battery Tender truly is “the smart charger.”  Equipped with a microprocessor, Battery Tender takes a battery to its maximum charge and then assumes a maintenance role in keeping it there while constantly monitoring the state of the battery.  Ultimately, there is no “overcharging,” and the battery will maintain its peak performance power!  In an animated feature, we see that the process of sulfation is mentioned.  When this natural process occurs, there is a loss of the active lead material that helps the battery maintain a charge.  Battery Tender ensures that sulfation does not occur and subsequently actually extends the life of the battery.  Mike brought with him a full supply of products.  He included the Battery Tender Jr., a smaller version of the original for tight spaces, as well as the standard Battery Tender.  Also on display were some new developments that have been added to the Battery Tender line.  These included the Waterproof 800, a 100% epoxy encapsulated version of the original.  This product is perfect for boats, jet skis, ATVs, and lawnmowers.  There are also two new versions of the Multi-Tender!  You can either choose from a two-bank or a four-bank model depending upon just how many batteries you need to keep charged.  You can connect to Battery Tender using the conventional alligator clips or by installing the “quick connector” where you can just “unplug and go!”  So, if you have one battery to maintain, or if you have a collection to keep up, turn to the Battery Tender product that fits your needs.  You can learn more at www.batterytender.com, or give them a call at 800-930-8347.  By the way, don’t forget when you are looking for unique automotive tools and supplies for your automobile restoration, you should give the folks at Eastwood a visit at www.eastwood.com.
