I've been waiting

to buy one of these for a few months, I just couldn't justify the price although I was looking at one of their larger units. This will do just as well.

Thanks!

another low priced option

Yesterday I went to my local Cycle Gear store (they are a chain store) and grabbed a:
Duraboost charger/maintainer (TE4-0237-V2)
It is 750mA. Includes clip cables and a set for on-bike (bullet style)

The sale price is $14.99

Hooked it up last night after a long bout of carb tuning.
Had a happy green light this AM!

Tenders for bikes will save you $$$ on batteries. Can't stress enough how important a full charge (float charge) 12.7-13.2 is on lead acid batteries. Bikes are notorious for not keeping a float on batteries. If they sit partially discharged for a few weeks or even a few days they become sulfated (crystallized) and their capacity is much reduced. Keep 'em floating and they will be happy. A proper full charge should take 14-16 hours.

I bought 3 of them with the ring terminal adapters for my bikes- so I can just plug in the bikes. I'm very happy with them and I'm going to buy more for boats, motorhome, lawnmower....

You can use the Northern model for more than one battery, but I'm always mixing dissimilar batteries. I like having them independent.

I have purchased MANY (maybe 15?) Harbor Freight equivalents over the years, and they are terrible. The voltages are all over the map. I have them all labeled with the voltages so I can chose the better ones. They sometimes fail, sometimes discharging the battery.

I'm looking for the exact same voltage range as Orange; 12.7V-13.2V. Over 13.5V boils the electrolyte. I had one episode of a HF unit boiling a battery dry over winter.
