Description
BatteryMINDer® Model 12106A8V
8 Volt 1.3 Amp1 Charger-Maintainer-Conditioner (Desulfator)
Don't just charge your batteries.Condition them!
The BatteryMINDer PLUS® is a 3-mode charger/maintainer/conditioner that extends performance and life of all types and sizes of 8 Volt lead acid batteries. These include maintenance-free, marine, deep cycle, sealed, gel, and all popular brands of AGM dry-type, valve-regulated batteries, such as those made by Interstate, Exide, Optima and Odyssey.
The BatteryMINDer PLUS® automatically dissolves harmful power-robbing sulfation using safe, U.S. patented high-frequency pulse technology2. Guaranteed to significantly increase your battery's life and performance, or you get 100% of your money back within 1-year. This guarantee is in addition to our five (5) year "no hassle" warranty.
1 1.33 Amps = Maximum charging current when battery is fully discharged.
1.0 Amp = Maximum current available if required by battery when unit is in maintenance mode.
2 Sulfation is the #1 cause of early battery failure and loss of performance as determined
by the Battery Council International, Dec. 1998.
Features
- Safely charges-maintains-conditions all size/type/brand starter, deep cycle, maintenance-type, maintenance-free, sealed, gelled, AGM or dry-type batteries.
- Charges and maintains from 1 to 5 batteries at a time (8 Volt batteries parallel-connected) for less than 15¢ per month.
- Guaranteed to never overcharge any battery, regardless of how long connected.
- Full-Time Desulfation-automatically dissolves harmful sulphate when unit is in either the charge or maintenance modes, using safe U.S. Patented pulse technology.
- No need to add water to maintenance-type batteries during long, non-use storage.
- Isolation transformer and smart chip technology ensure safe, long-term performance.
- Automatic reset thermostat - prevents damage to charger when unit is connected to faulty battery.

An important question
An Important QUESTION you should know the answer to before making a buying decision:
Why would you or anyone pay up to $150 for any battery charger, when there are dozens of much less expensive, good quality chargers from which to choose?
ANSWER:
- The cost of the average starter or deep cycle battery is $85, with an average-life of three (3) years (200 full charge - discharge cycles). Many types, such as sealed AGM, Gel or spiral-wound "dry" (Optima, Odyssey, Exide, etc.) cost considerably more ($125 - $175 ea.). They also will not reach their full design life of five or more years, unless they are properly "treated" during their entire lifetime.
- The Average performance of all battery types, over their life, diminishes to 50% of original. Measured in either cranking-amps (starter type battery) or ampere-hours (deep cycle battery), your battery has "shrunk" when compared to its original performance and capacity by 50% or more, before it finally dies. The major reason (believed by many authorities to be 75% -90% of the cause) for this loss is not just "old age", but a condition known as "sulfation".
