Review on Battery Tender 3 Amp Car Battery Charger: Automotive Charger and Maintainer for Cars, SUVs, and Trucks - 6V/12V, 3 Amp Charger by Nick Shirodkar

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not for Li-Ion batteries

There is no information on charging voltage in the supplied manuals - LiFePO4 batteries can be charged with high current, but this requires a certain voltage. This charger was listed in a search but the documentation makes it risky while Deltron has other solutions with lithium ion modes. (Also, it has too much charging current for a typical lead-acid motorcycle battery - car only.) However, more cables are included! It included (1) a cable with ring terminals that could remain installed in the vehicle; (1) Cable with large copper-clad spring clips for temporary connection; and (1) extension cord (6 feet?) for charging cords. All of these cables have single-ended SAE connectors with protective plastic caps. Should be listed in the product description but is missing.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Nothing here
