[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 417992, member: 13599"] what is the take on the "amperage" of battery tenders ?? and, it is "TENDER" and not "CHARGER". . . huge difference in the two. I read somewhere last year that the average battery tender supplies 12 volts and anywhere from 300 to 800ma (mili-amps) on a steady basis. (not 13-15 volts). If you have a battery "tender" - check the label for the input/output values and see what it says. - - - Just curious - - - Edit: in the Southern States like Florida, Texas, Arizona, etc, we use the stuff that has a battery in it 12 months out of the year and the summer heat is what kills the car batteries - not over charging. (in most cases). [/QUOTE]
