    I just want to correct one thing for safety measures in case someone completely new is watching this video. You should connect the battery tender itself to the AC outlet first, then change the battery type or voltage. After that, you connect the alligator clips to the battery terminal or the sealed connector bit. The battery tender may default to something that does not match your battery type or voltage, so you don't want to connect the tender to the AC outlet last. I'm sure it's fine if it's the wrong configuration but just in case.

    I think you can also run this from the cigarette lighter port with a converter. As long as you have over 3volts. And I heard it does maintain the charge of the battery when it's not in use, that's if your truck cigarette lighter port has power when it's not on, few truck do it but I know the Hummer H3 does, so if your truck is off you can charge still using the cigarette port. That charge port puts out 12volts all the time so in essence your recycling your energy to the battery. That's wild.

      I've had some older batteries that went low and would not start the vehicle.
      When the batteries are drained to a very low voltage they usually have to be piggy backed to a good battery to bring the voltage up before the Tender will take over.
      Some of these batteries were on the Tender for 5+ days before the Tender light finally turned green.
      These same batteries had been hooked to a normal charger which said they were fully charged in a very short period of time - They were NOT. After days on the Tender they were fully operational again.

    "So we're gonna go ahead and read some instructions...uhhh...probably not" haha! Those instructions are the size of a short novel! Do you happen to know if I can do the following: Run a power inverter (BESTEK 300W Power Inverter) from my tiny RV’s cigarette lighter, plug this Battery Tender into that, and then charge the house batteries (2 giant “golf cart batteries”) when I drive? Thanks!

      haha right! That's a great question! I assume it all depends on the size of the wire guage and max it can handle. I would recommend checking out my 12v power upgrade video I did. Hope it helps! ua-cam.com/video/AhF6hHQbUAI/v-deo.html

      It won't jump start your car, but it will maintain the battery at full charge.

    For the sake of accurate information:
    You are completely wrong in your statement that car alternators cannot fully charge a car battery.
    Car alternators are rated as an example: 50/120A 13.5V, this means 50 amps at low rpm usually 1500, 120 amps at high rpm about 6000, 13.5V is the voltage these ratings are taken at.
    An average alternator amp rating is from 45 amps to over 140 amps depending on the application.
    Alternator Voltage varies with demand from below 13.5 to 14.4V or so.
    So you can see that the alternator in a car is putting out a lot more charging amps than most home battery chargers. This Battery Tender model in the video is 4.5 amps. This is 10% of a car alternator charging at it's lowest and only about 3.2% of a car alternators high output charge.
    It's going to take a lot longer to charge a battery fully a 4.5 amps than at 45 to 140 amps.
    The only problem is if you only drive short distances and the car sits a lot. In that case the drive maybe to short to charge the battery and as it sits in between the short commute drives the charge continues to go lower.
    This battery charger is excellent at maintaining and charging batteries. Particularly if you have only short commutes and the car sits. If you live in an area where its cold and on your short commute you use the car heater, heated seats, defroster, lights, radio then this is going to be very hard on the battery and a Battery tender like this is a very good thing to have.
    This charger will not overcharge batteries because it has a microprocessor that monitors the battery and will change to maintenance mode.
    The moral of the story is at least do a little reading and research before you post videos.

      Mark thanks for all the great information you provided. This video is only regarding information on my own vehicle and other 100 series Toyota's/ Lexus's. My Toyota Land Cruiser Overland Rig with a 80 amp alternator and upgraded larger AGM Odyssey Battery 100ah (ODYSSEY® Battery's required 14.7 volts to properly charge your batteries.) Again , thank you for your general information and sorry if you thought I was speaking to the general automotive public. FYI: You should try doing video's on UA-cam, I'd SUbscribe to your Channel. Have an awesome evening! MEMO

    I didn’t realize it has to be plugged into a wall. I bought it in case my battery died on the road. 🤦🏾‍♀️

      Ahhh :( Well you can make sure to plug it while at home to make sure you battery has charge before heading out on a trip or at least once a month to maintain it. :)

      You'll need the "Type S Jump starter". Just saw it at Costco. It's for jump starting your car in case your battery goes dead for whatever reason while on the road. It was right next to the "Battery Tender" in this video.

    This isn’t at all what I thought it was when I bought it. I thought you hook it up to the wall and let the pack charge then you can carry it in your car for emergency use 🤨 I wasted my money buying it😡

      The packaging say Charger and Maintainer. It's actually super great so you can maintain your battery so it stays with power. It's worth the money to have at home when you vehicle is parked.
