Default Sears Die Hard Battery Tender

Just looked at this at local Sears store. It appears to work fine for the application I need it for and all for only $29.99. Any one else had any experiance with this product good or bad? Seems for the money it does what the more expensive models do. Works on both lead and gel batteries. Just wondering.Below is a description on the Sears Website.


Charge your battery from inside the vehicle! Fully Automatic Battery Charger/Maintainer with Float Mode Monitoring for 6 and 12 volt batteries. 2 Amp, 12 Volt/4 Amp, 6 Volt slow charge with Reverse Hook-Up Protection is ideal for keeping stored, lead-acid batteries charged and power maintained at all times. Great for Motorcycle, Lawn Tractor, ATV, Snowmobile size batteries and to maintain larger Car, RV, Boat, Deep Cycle, Antique and Classic Car batteries too! Includes: 50 amp battery clamps, 12V accessory plug and permanent ring connectors for fast, easy charging every time. UL listed.

Three-Year Full Warranty
If this Battery Charger fails due to a defect in materials or workmanship within three years from the date of purchase, RETURN IT TO ANY SEARS STORE or OTHER DIEHARD OUTLET IN THE UNITED STATES FOR FREE REPLACEMENT.

I have three of the Deltran Battery Tenders. One for the truck, one for the 'Vette and one for the Harley. Have had one for over 10 years. Never a problem.

If you feel OK with a $30 battery maintainer for your expensive Corvette, fine, go for it!

It's for the battery,does that mean if you pay more for something, its works better?

YES! I've usually found that to be the case!

I bought a Black & Decker from WallMart for $18, it has both 1 amp and 2 amp settings just for 12 volt. If you have an AGM Battery, you should charge it at 1 amp.
