Amazon.com Product Description
The Battery Tender 12-volt/1.25-amp 4-Bank Battery Management System is designed to fully charge up to four 12-volt batteries simultaneously and maintain each at its proper storage voltage without the damaging effects caused by some trickle chargers. Compatible with all AGM (absorbed glass mat), sealed maintenance free and flooded batteries commonly found in some automotive/farm equipment, motorcycles, ATV’s, and personal watercraft, this lightweight, microprocessor controlled unit provides safe, constant, four-step charging current for every vehicle stored in your garage, shop, barn or boathouse.
The Battery Tender 12-volt/1.25-amp 4-Bank Battery Management System is much more than a trickle charger. Utilizing a 4-step charging program (initialization, bulk charge, absorption mode and float mode), it allows users to simply connect the charger to up to four batteries, either in or out of a vehicle and forget about it until you are ready to use it, with the confidence that the batteries in all four vehicles are being maintained at optimal performance levels. This makes it perfect for seasonal and recreational vehicles like motorcycles, jet skis, ATV's, snowmobiles and more,. It is also safe for your battery because it utilizes advanced microprocessor technology that automatically switches its output voltage to a storage or float level. This feature eliminates the need to worry about the damaging effects of overcharging, and the resulting need to check on the condition of a charging battery. If or when the battery voltage drops too far under load, this same smart technology resumes output power and the charging cycle begins again. The unit also features spark-proof connectors, short circuit and reverse polarity protection, an easy to understand charging status LED indicator for each charging bank, durable yet lightweight construction and almost no current draw from batteries connected to it.

Only one "short" coming.....
I've been riding for well over 20 yrs and the Deltran Battery Tender is one of the greatest products you can buy for your cycle!!
In the early years, I was playing with trickle chargers and/or starting the bike once or twice a month over the winter months, only to always seem to be pushing the bike down the alley come spring, trying to pop the clutch to get her started because the battery didn't make it through the winter with a decent charge....again!
About 10 years ago I bought a Battery Tender Plus at a cycle shop's open house. They were rather expensive then, but thought it worth a try considering the sale price. Loved it!!! Still have that original one, although I have been through a couple of the Jrs.
With 5 streetbikes in the garage, it seemed like a no brainer to invest in this 4 bank version. Did a little shopping around and found this to be the best deal. I had read somewhere, (although can't recall where), that this model had leads 12 ft long, so I didn't see the need for the extentions. Wrong!!! Leads are only 4.5 ft long each, so I wish I would've got the extentions. 25ft is a bit long and I have seen 12ft elsewhere.
Again, fantastic product for the off season or if you're fortunate enough to have a multiple bike stable!!
Well equipped, but not the best charging algorythm
I bought two chargers - this one with 4 outputs to power my standby generator battery, my electric gate, and to charge my vehicle's D31 optima batteries for running my inverter.
The other charger was a singe output, higher quality unit with much more power, and best of all it had a desulphating pulse mode which far exceeded this units ability to revive batteries.
Each charger has its place. For the 4 batteries, I have a 4 unit charger in an outdoor enclosure ready to hook up (with exentsions)
For portability and "need it now" charging I have the fast and the furious charger (see my reviews for it's advantages over this unit).
At 1.25A charging current x 4 you are only getting 15V x 5A or 75W of output for over 180 dollars, which is not a good value, so I subtracted one star.
The connectors lack the weatherseal and are leaching copper in the recent rains, so I subtracted another star for that
I am overall much happier with my single unit charger's performance since I can select .75A - 3.5A with it and have the batteries topped off and desulphated at the end of charge. This just sits at 13.2 VDC at the end of charge, which is good in its application because my gate needs some power to run the magnetic lock that secures the driveway.
I needed 5 chargers, I got 5 chargers, and they each do their job. I wish the other company made a 4 unit charger at this price - I'd be buying it in a heartbeat.
Simply the finest battery management system around for the price.
I own a farm and now have 12 different vehicles and batteries under the watchful eye of my Battery Tenders. It seemed like I was buying a battery every 3-4 months for one of my vehicles or pieces of equipment. Not any more, I have yet to buy a battery in almost 5 years of Battery Tender usage. It even "repaired" some old batteries through its careful application of power. Much cheaper in the long run to invest in Battery Tenders than new batterys.
