It is meant keep a battery fresh by trickle charging a low current, only when needed, to maintain the battery's float voltage. If you are applying a "tender", only on occasion to, a battery that has degraded over a period of time from sitting, you are over taxing the "tender", not doing the battery any good, and wasting your time. https://www.tutorialspoint.com/diffe...ery-maintainer https://www.pulsetech.net/media/wysi...e-Chargers.pdf |

I've had the maintainer on my outdoor generator for 4 years with no problems.

I store all my batteries inside my shop on a shelf except for the ones on the plow Cub and loader Cub.
The ones that are shelved get topped off about once a month w/a tender while I am in the shop and can keep an eye on it. When then green light comes on for the init it is connected to, I'll switch to the next battery and so on. Works for me! Forgot one last fall on the 169 that is in a different bldg. a month ago, I turned on the gas, gave it a smidgeon of choke, hit the key and it was running, no issues and no special storage prep other than shutting off the fuel |

I use one. 1.5 amp charger/maintainer, mainly use it in the winter but occasionally do have one on it in the summer months. My newest battery is currently 3 years old my oldest is pushing 6 and still starting the machines fine. (All batteries get taken out of machines that sit in the cold and brought into the heated shed and put on the maintainer) it's worked out really well for me. Also have a couple cars that stay on it as well

I have an Interstate L&G Battery in my 784, that I installed in Sep 2013, it was good until this spring, and NEVER had a Battery Tender on it.

This is another example of "your results may vary". I have had stellar luck with the Noco unit, and when the light turns green, I move on to the next battery-supervised. I haven't lost one yet.

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.
