The Battery Tender Junior Selectable Charger delivers a precise 12V output at 800mA, engineered to accommodate a wide range of battery chemistries including lead-acid, flooded, sealed maintenance-free (AGM and gel cell), and Lithium. By allowing users to select the specific battery type, the unit applies the correct charge algorithm to ensure optimal performance and longevity. The device operates through a complete four-step charging program consisting of Initialization, Bulk Charge, Absorption Mode, and Float Mode, automatically transitioning to a maintenance voltage once the battery is fully charged. If the battery voltage drops significantly under load, the charger resumes full output power to restore capacity, ensuring the battery remains ready for use.
Safety and ease of use are prioritized with spark-proof construction and reverse polarity protection, while a solid-state two-color LED provides clear visual feedback on the current charging stage. The unit includes a 12-foot output cord for convenient garage or shop placement and meets California and Oregon appliance energy efficiency standards for battery charging systems. Backed by a five-year warranty, this charger offers a reliable, automated solution for maintaining various powersports and automotive battery types without the risk of overcharging or damage.
