I went online tonight to order a tender. Only to get confused as to which one I should get...

For example....


Charger Models

Output Voltage

Output Current
Charging Software*/
Battery Type AC Voltage/
Frequency Input
(Volts)

(Amps)
Battery Tender Junior 6V Battery Charger 6V 0.750A 3 Step STD & AGM 120 VAC, 60 Hz
Battery Tender Junior 12V Battery Charger 12V 0.750A 4 Step STD & AGM 120 VAC, 60 Hz
Waterproof 800 12V Battery Charger 12V 0.800A 3 Step STD & AGM 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz
Battery Tender Plus 6V Battery Charger 6V 1.25A 4 Step STD & AGM 120 VAC, 60 Hz
Battery Tender Plus 12V Battery Charger 12V 1.25A 4 Step STD & AGM 120 VAC, 60 Hz
Battery Tender Plus 12V Battery Charger (Gel Cell) 12V 1.25A 4 Step STD & AGM or GEL 120 VAC, 60 Hz
Battery Tender Twin 800 12V Dual Battery Charger 12V 0.800A 3 Step STD & AGM 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz
Battery Tender 12V 2-Bank Battery Management System 12V 1.25A 3 Step STD & AGM 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz
Battery Tender 12V 4-Bank Battery Management System 12V 1.25A 4 Step STD & AGM 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz
Battery Tender 12V 5-Bank Battery Management System 12V 2.0A 4 Step STD & AGM 120 VAC, 60 Hz
Battery Tender 12V 10-Bank Battery Management System 12V 2.0A 4 Step STD & AGM 120 VAC, 60 Hz

*Note: All Deltran battery chargers will charge all types of lead acid batteries: either flooded (standard STD), sealed maintenance free Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM), or sealed maintenance free gelled electrolyte (GEL) batteries. However, for optimum battery performance in deep cycle applications (for example, running a trolling motor), it is best to chose the Deltran charger that has the charging software specifically designed for the battery type. Fortunately, since the technical staff at Deltran has developed charging software that works equally well for both STD & AGM batteries, the only choice to be made is between 2 models: either STD & AGM or GEL software. :yikes::yikes::yikes::yikes::yikes::yikes:

Halp! :pray:

Simplify. It ain't rocket science. Go to WalMart and buy the one they sell. Good price (?) and good quality. Mine was on my Spyder all winter.
