Description
12 Volt 1 Amp BatteryKeeper® Maintenance Charger
The BatteryKeeper® is a 2-mode charger/maintainer that extends performance and life of all types/sizes/brands of 12 Volt lead acid batteries or 6 Volt (series connected). These include maintenance-free, marine, sealed, gel, AGM, dry and valve-regulated batteries.
The two modes are: charging and maintaining.
The 12 Volt - 1 Amp BatteryKeeper® allows you to charge up to 4 batteries (12 Volt parallel-connected or two 6 Volt series-connected) at a time. BatteryKeeper® does not desulphate your batteries. (See our BatteryMINDer Plus® Model 12117 maintenance charger with “Full Time” desulfation.)
Features
- Charge and maintain LED indicators (blinks when the battery reaches full charge).
- Guarantees full charge without ever overcharging.
- Allows battery to be stored safely at -20°F to +120°F.
- Temperature, short circuit and polarity reversal protected.
- Designed and engineered in the USA.
- Built in strict accordance with ISO 9001 quality standards.
- 1-year (money-back) guarantee.
- 5-year “no hassle” warranty.
Not for use with Aviation Specific batteries. See models 12248-AA-S1 and 24041-AA-S1 aviation specific charger-maintainer-desulfator-conditioners

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”.
