Help ….. Battery preservation

[Charley Lillard]

Just a heads up...The repo batteries that are really AGM inside of a old water filled looking case should not be trickle charged. If you want to charge it they want you to run it down with te headlights and then do a full charge.

I've had the 2 bank Battery Tender for at least 10 years. I have 6-8 batteries I store in a heated building every winter and keep them charged with it. I don't leave it on any one for an extended time. Once the green light goes solid, for storage mode, I leave it for 1 week and then move it to the next battery. Once they all have been charged, I stop charging for 6 weeks and let them rest. I have 4 NAPA Gold batteries that are 6-7 years old and still perform like new all summer.
I had to buy a new battery for my Harley this year. It is the second one since new and the bike is 21 years old. The original that came in the bike lasted 11 YEARS, most of them with this charger and the first replacement lived for 10 years. With a service life like that, I go right back to the dealer and pay the price for a new one.

This charger/maintainer works great on AGM batteries. It features an exercise mode that discharges and recharges AGM batteries. I have two Chevys with AGM batteries and use this Pro-Logix charger between them.
