Fishfiles 20,145 Posted August 14, 2021 I must have 4 different types of tenders /maintainers , about a dozen in all , they all seem to work for me , built up a mixed up fleet over the years , screw the ones Wal-Mart sells --- If I had to pick one I would say I like the Dura-Cell the best only because it matches most of my batteries for what ever that's worth , would think and hope they may have put a little thought into which tender works best with their batteries and their batteries have treated me real good , I have never had to replace one yet , I would never buy another type of battery for my ATV, lawn mower , etc ----- if you get a chance , pick up your old battery and then pick up a DuraCell , twice the weight ---- it is what the Coast Guard uses in their Jet Skis , I mean boats ---LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Wilson_™ 6,558 Posted August 15, 2021 thanks! i appreciate you keep an eye out, and letting me know.... do you know if has battery minder option like shade speaks of ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,145 Posted August 16, 2021 To me buddy up north of me , what I was saying is , once you connect the tender charging port lead to the battery , then that lead becomes a power source , I can maintain the battery thru the same plug that I use for the sprayer or sound system and there are adaptors that convert the two wire connector to a cigarette lighter style plug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seen it week n half ago!! makes sence i should be able to locate one, on ebay, or some other parts store.... I don't know how those types have been in production, but i believe i recall seeing one at a camper supply store back years ago (columbia camper) sadly it's closed a while back, but ten to one rippy auto and industrail parts can get them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
