HF battery maintainer

Post by flash1942 »



i noticed that HF has started advertising a battery maintainer unlike their float charger of the past. It's item # 61911. Has anybody used this product?

I will stick to my Deltran Battery Tender. They have worked well for me and my batteries.

There have been numerous "maintainers" mentioned here with only the Deltran getting an overall high rating. Most others either don't last long or don't work properly from day one. However I know nothing of the HF maintainer. I don't think I will be the guinea pig though. Batteries are to expensive.

I've sacrificed two expensive batteries to Harbor Freight battery maintainers, and will not be doing so again. Deltran Battery Tenders have served me very well. I have quite a few batteries that have been on them 24/7 for years, and are still operating like new.

I also have a battery tender . I use it 24/7 for years now never skipped a beat worth every dime I paid for it . I use it on car batterys and all my bikes batteries . I rotate them about weekly or when ever I think about it . I have even used it to charge batteries from dead . Don't think a HF can match that :P
