Northern tool is selling the batteryminder 2012 for $50 plus shipping ($10 shipping if only buying one, $12 if buying 3). Next best price is $93 at Amazon. I was looking for 3 high end battery maintainers for my36v golf cart as I have not had luck with the higher end golf cart battery maintainers. Unlike the lower end models, the manufacturer's website states this model has a relay to disconnect the maintainer from the battery if it loses 120v power, thereby preventing back draining of the battery and potential permanent damage of battery.

Use coupon code 281416 if order over $100

I've had mine for almost a decade and will share my experience. I've ran mine over multiple times and slammed my hood on it as well. Still works. I top off my batteries periodically and use it as a maintenance charger.

I bought this for the desulfator feature. This thing won't bring back a battery you forgot about all winter and it's bulging at the sides. It won't bring back a severely sulphated battery either. It will extend you batteries life and restore cranking power. I've easily gained a year or 2 out of all of my car batteries using this. All my cars go 6+ years in a very tough climate.

This works especially good if you can leave it all winter on a weak mower or power sport battery. By spring it will be like new. I received a completely dead mower battery from 2016. I put jumper cables from a good battery to this dead one and then put the charger on it for a week. After that I was able to remove the jumper battery and charge it. That battery holds 12.65v after being stored for weeks and cranks like new.
While this might seem like a good price, this is old technology and there are others out there for less. Northern has reviews from 7 years ago for the same charger. 2amp isn't much compared to the 4amp from Costco that regularly sells in store for $47 and goes on sale for less than that. Both have 5 yr warranty and auto maintain. Not finding that the Costco one desulfates though.
I have this one in Yellow. 10 amp charge and then goes to trickle charge. I listed two chargers because the Viking from Harbor Freight is a 2 amp trickle charger.

This one has desulfate. I have had it about a year, no issues. Charges and reconditions and desulfates the battery. Looks like $26 right now.

Generally curious as the difference as the others have mentioned.

I've used this $20 1amp trickle charger on my jeep which is driven very infrequently.

Foval Automatic Trickle Battery Charger 12V 1000mA Smart Battery Charger https://a.co/d/7rXvoH4


I also have the 2/10 amp charger that was rebranded by everyone for heavier duty battery charger needs.

Obviously the charger in this deal has some specific features like "desulfating batteries" but from a charging perspective what makes this one so unique and a good buy

I just ordered one as I have a few of the cheaper Stanley maintainers. Hoping this one comes in handy if a battery dies on me. I am a bit worried about the Amazon review where the person said the older ones (Circa 2014 and earlier) were great, but the new ones are made in China and questionable.

My motorcycle battery "died" despite it being connected to a Schumacher sp1297 this winter. I'm going to try this to revive it. Hope it works out.

What is the difference between the one posted in this deal and something like the NoCo Genius5? https://no.co/genius5

Can one do something the other can't?

Can someone guide me to buy a correct charger for a motorcycle battery, please? Should I choose AGM?

I also need some help on what to get for a 2013 BMW 750 Li, as we don't drive the car often and want to maintain the charge.
