I've got 7 BatteryMinders, and (obviously) think they're great. 6 little
ones and one of the large variety. I keep stored cars, lawn tractor, lawn
mower, etc. on them year-round. Don't know about the other contender
(Battery Tender) but the BatteryMinder desulphates continuously, and extends
the life considerably. They have a chip in them that constantly monitirs
battery voltage and only charges when it's needed, vs trickle chargers that
stay on continuously and eventually kill the battery.
I saved a new recombinant-gas (AGM) aircraft battery after leaving the
master switch on for a few days - the battery was a month old, so that paid
for the aircraft charger right there. Resurrected and saved a dead battery
that came with some lawn equipment, and wound up using it another two years.

So I think I just killed a motorcycle battery by leaving it on a Sears
charger. What brand automatic battery charger do we like now, and where do
we like to get it?
Thanks.
Scott
