Battery tender question
I purchased a deltran waterproof 800, the light shows and battery is always charging and never full. Does that mean the battery is going south.
The car starts everytime, even after weeks of sitting, but I added the charger for added protection and I can't help myself from buying stuff.
The light never shows full/trickle, is that a problem, does anyone else have that issue?

The direction say, yellow for charging and green for trickle/charged.
It is this one, from Deltran

Charge up your battery first with a real battery charger and then see if the "trickle" charger holds the full charge. If not, your battery is going south..... Your trickle charger isn't mean't to recharge a low battery, only to keep it fully charged while not in use.

It's an excellent battery looks a bit more like your original Delco, and costs about the same as an Optima... I've had great service from mine even with extended periods of non-use.
