Description
BatteryMINDer® Solar Charger Controller 12 Volt with 5 Watt Panel
Charger-Maintainer-Conditioner (Desulfator)
Don’t just charge your batteries…Condition them!
The BatteryMINDer® is a 3-mode charger/maintainer/conditioner that extends performance and life of all types/sizes/brands of 6-Volt (series-connected) and 12 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 Interstate, Exide, Optima, Odyssey, Trojan and U.S. Battery.
The BatteryMINDer® automatically dissolves harmful power-robbing sulfation using safe, patented high-frequency pulse technology1. Guaranteed to increase your battery’s life and performance, or you get 100% of your money back within 1-year.
1 Sulfation is the #1 cause of early battery failure and loss of performance as determined by the Battery Council International, Dec. 1998.
Features
- 5 watt amorphous silicon solar panel
- Safely charges-maintains-conditions all size and type starter, deep cycle, maintenance-type, maintenance-free, sealed, gelled, AGM or dry-type batteries.
- Allows you to charge and maintain 1 to 2 batteries (12 Volt parallel-connected or two 6 Volt series-connected) at a time.
- Automatically removes (dissolves) harmful sulfation using safe, U.S. patented electronic pulse technology.
- The unit automatically desulfates both in the charging and the maintenance modes.
- Guaranteed to never overcharge any battery, regardless of how long connected.

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”.
