The major difference between a charger and a tender is that a charger constantly applies a charge, even if the battery is fully charged. This means it may be possible to overcharge, which could result in damage to the battery. Since an ATV battery charger delivers a constant charge, you must disconnect and reconnect the device regularly.
A battery tender, on the other hand, has built-in monitoring capabilities, so it only charges the battery once its voltage drops below a specified level. The device sends a slow charge to the battery over a period of several hours and stops when the battery reaches a full charge.
The main benefit of an ATV battery tender is that it won't overcharge the battery, so it can be left connected indefinitely. This is especially helpful if you decide to leave the battery in your ATV while storing it for long periods of time.
While a battery tender is a great option for keeping your battery charged, it can also help to extend the life of your battery and keep it in the best possible condition. Since an ATV battery tender costs less than purchasing a replacement battery, it makes for a worthwhile investment.
Just as starting your car on a regular basis can help to keep the battery charged, starting your ATV regularly can help to prevent battery problems. During off seasons when you leave your ATV in storage, a battery tender or charger can help to get you back on the road again when the time comes.
