Is the Battery Tender Plus battery charger more expensive than a trickle charger?
In simple terms, comparing only the off-the-shelf, retail price dollars, probably yes. However, in terms of the total cost of ownership, including the likely dramatic reduction in battery life resulting from using a trickle charger, then the answer is ABSOLUTELY NO. The Battery Tender Plus will more than make up the difference in price by extending the useful life of only one engine start battery. Multiply this savings over the 5 year Deltran warranty period and you will save enough in battery cost to more than pay for the Battery Tender Plus battery charger.
