Deltran SuperSmart Battery Tender Plus 12-Volt

Every time I want to fire up my old 71 Datsun (that’s Nissan for those of you younger than 30) 240 Z there’s a good chance that the battery has drained down and that I can’t start it! Looking around at car forums I read about this nifty little gadget….It’s like a battery trickle charger….sort of. Whereas it’s not recommended to keep a trickle charger hooked up all the time, this one has circuitry to limit the current and sense when the battery needs charging. It only charges at 1.25 amps which is easier on the battery.

I’ve had it on for a month now and it’s great. The first couple of days, the red light was on indicating charging. Since then it’s been on green and the car starts right up. I live in Houston where the heat and humidity can be just as brutal on batteries as the cold.

I highly recommend this “tender” for those that have cars that stay unused for long periods.

As other reviews have mentioned it comes with a set of adapters that allow you to permanently attach pigtails to the battery posts and then you can quickly connect the tender without having to use the alligator clips (also included).

For the price and free shipping you can’t go wrong!
