General Battery Safety Tips and Reference Guide

Posted on September 5, 2010 by dickerson

1. Don’t Mix Batteries. To prevent equipment damage, and possible injury, never mix batteries with different chemistries or voltages in the equipment at the same time.

2. Keep batteries in original packaging until ready to use. This helps to identify damage, such as swelling and leakage of LiSO2 batteries.

3. Do not use incompatible batteries and chargers.

4. You should purchase manufacturer or carrier recommended products and accessories wherever possible. If unsure about whether a replacement battery or charger is compatible, contact the manufacturer of the battery or charger.

5. Do not accumulate used batteries, dispose of on a regular basis.

Solid, works well, could not not ask for more in a battery tender. A must have item if you don't drive your car regularly. Cheers.

 "Permanent mount charger" 2010-02-11
By P. Dooley (Seattle, WA)
Great charger when permanently mounted under the hood. I brought the plug out the grill and plug it in whenever the car is in the garage. Keeping a trickle charger connected will insure longest battery life.

 "Works great on the boat" 2010-01-29
By Robert Sweeney (United States)
I have two boat batteries with a combiner and a switch and use the battery tender to keep them both charged. So far it has worked as advertised and I would certainly buy it again or recommend it to a friend.

 "Perfect for long-term battery maintenance. Must-have equipment for motorcycles." 2010-01-17
By dblhoya (Washington, DC)
As its name implies, this charger is designed for long-term maintenance charging, rather than recharging a dead battery in a few hours. Widely accepted as standard equipment for motorcycles that spend time sitting in the garage during cold winter months. Tops off the battery automatically and keeps it healthy. It's also worth getting just to have the adapter permanently mounted on the bike, as there are so many accessories made to work off battery power by plugging in to the battery tender adapter (for example, Slime's "Power Sport Tire Inflator," which is a great portable air compressor you can use anywhere with the battery tender adapter. Slime 40001 Power Sport Tire Inflator). The waterproof model is worth getting if you're going to leave it out to charge all the time (as recommended) to protect against moisture or any exposure to bad weather. I've used it to charge a dead car battery, too, and it worked but took about 18 hours.
