Cox Posted August 4, 2013 Report Posted August 4, 2013 What do you guys think about this for an XS d3400? http://www.amazon.com/Battery-Tender-021-0128-Plus-Charger/dp/B00068XCQU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1371333015&sr=8-2&keywords=battery+tender Kenwood Excelon x396AQ2200Fi Q 12XS D3400 XS XP30001/0 RADAFLEXStinger volt meter Mechman 240a alt
HunterJohnson Posted August 4, 2013 Report Posted August 4, 2013 It takes about 4-8 hrs to charge it up But to maintain it on a shelf it's perfect Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass
Cox Posted August 4, 2013 Author Report Posted August 4, 2013 It takes about 4-8 hrs to charge it up But to maintain it on a shelf it's perfect So I could toss it on at night and not worry about it and come out the next morning and have a refreshed battery? Charge time isn't an issue. The battery stays in my car anyway. Kenwood Excelon x396AQ2200Fi Q 12XS D3400 XS XP30001/0 RADAFLEXStinger volt meter Mechman 240a alt

Lbox88 Posted August 4, 2013 Report Posted August 4, 2013 Yes you could. I know Snowdrifter actually prefers this one over the battery tenders because battery tender float voltage is 13.2V, this one floats at 13.5V. http://www.homedepot.com/p/BLACK-DECKER-Battery-Maintainer-BM3B/202710992?N=2og UBL | Build Log
HunterJohnson Posted August 4, 2013 Report Posted August 4, 2013 the batter tender charges to 14.9 then drops to 13.5ish for a float. iirc mine floated around 13.3 Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass
Cox Posted August 4, 2013 Author Report Posted August 4, 2013 Does the one from home depot still charge acid batteries as well? Kenwood Excelon x396AQ2200Fi Q 12XS D3400 XS XP30001/0 RADAFLEXStinger volt meter Mechman 240a alt
Lbox88 Posted August 4, 2013 Report Posted August 4, 2013 Maybe mine is just shitty then, it only goes up to 14.7 and drop to 13.2 afterwards. edit: and yes it will work with all 6V or 12V batteries from my understanding. UBL | Build Log
Cox Posted August 4, 2013 Author Report Posted August 4, 2013 Hmmm, well being that you guys both have the battery tender, do you think i should try the other one or stick with the battery tender? Also do you know if the black and decker one comes with the clips? Kenwood Excelon x396AQ2200Fi Q 12XS D3400 XS XP30001/0 RADAFLEXStinger volt meter Mechman 240a alt
Lbox88 Posted August 4, 2013 Report Posted August 4, 2013 If I were to do it again, I would try out the B&D since it was cheaper. Just to be safe, I always check voltage on a new charger right when I put it on, 10 minutes later, 30 minutes later, and if it's still doing fine, I'll leave it and test it when it says it's done charging.
