Default Automatic Battery Float Charger

Automatic Battery Float Charger

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=42292


I picked up one of these for my truck from Harbor Freight. I dont drive it but once every two months or so and needed something to keep a good charge on the battery. Works great. Every time I go to start my truck up it has great cranking power. And for 10 bucks ( you can usually get them on sale for around 7) they pay for themselves in no time because I dont have to run my truck every week to insure the battery is charged.

I liked it so much I picked on up for my Cub, and I thought I would tell you guys about them.

I will be using one for my trailer breakaway battery as well as one for my racecar that sits without use for extended times. They work pretty well too...

I used one on my 1512 when I threw snow with it in the winter...still use it whenever I'm reviving a tractor that sat for a bit.

I bought one this year, as my 782's starter does the whizzing thing if the battery is low at all. The only time I had a problem this year was when the temp was -10. Had to use the pickup to jump it, but I think it was a thick oil problem that was causing the issue.

Dad uses them on all his vehicles that sit. I put it on my truck that sits whenever the tractor is out working.

I have 3 battery tender jr's. and their all plugged in. They are 3/4 amp chargers w/auto on/off. I then made additional leads from 14 gauge wire and aligator clips so I can put the tender on my corvette and run leads over to the ATV. Another charger goes on the 108 and leads go over to the 122. The last one is hooked to the 3 spare batterys on the shelf. Three tenders on 7 batterys. If I could park them all closer togeather I could probably get buy with just one of them. I'm not cheap ...... just thrifty.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
