You could test them with a volt meter.

WELL for starters..what battery tenders are you referring to? ASIDE from the green light..which prolly shows you have it connected to A/C via a plug recept and attached properly to the car..the better ones change the status light once proper charge is maintained.READ the instructions for each on paper or on their website so you can determine IF what you are seeing is what is supposed to be..HOW do you know one isn't working? Possible that it was connected to tend a battery that was crippled BEYOND CHARGING?
I ASSUME ALL connections and connection sequence are proper and snug..Jim
