Many of you who own cars but do not yet have Battery Tenders; will surely want to know what they are and why you need one. Simply put, a Battery Tender is a device that you can plug into a standard AC outlet and it moves power in amps to 12 batteries, so they stay operational even if they go unused for long periods of time. These battery tenders are especially important for people who have seasonal vehicles, or do not use the vehicle for months.
