I have a battery maintainer problem. Have several battery tender jrs, the full size, the one from Walmart that does lithium as well, 2 of the battery minder 1500, 2 of the older 12117, 3 of the latest grey faced ones with the built in temp comp, then a noco genius 3500, two of the optimate 3 and an optimate 6 ampmatic and an optimate 6 select that does standard and deep cycle. Plus 5 or 6 Schumacher battery maintainers.
No significant data for any of them.
Like I said, I just have a problem.

I want to see pics. No pics, didn’t happen. That’s the rules.

These are some that are still in the packages. Others are in the shop, in the carport and at my mothers house on her Acadia while she’s in Florida at my sisters, the cub and a spare battery.

Hi folks, my name is Roy and I haven't bought a battery charger in 3 days, 12 hours and six minutes...

Have a battery tender (no idea the model number) and use on my Cadillac and have been really happy.

The batteryminder 1510 brought the battery in my 17' Camaro SS back to 95% in 2 weeks. Before this the batt % would only get 57%. I was concerned it would need a new battery being 3 yrs old and an AGM style.

Nice! I don't have a way to track any changes, but the 1510 has been on mine for about three weeks now. I'm confident it has only improved and done no harm.

I also have a traditional digital charger that has voltage and battery % on it. I unhooked the 1510 and put the other charger on and read the batt. % and was amazed.
