Capt. Dan Berg's Marine Battery Chargers

Find a complete source information on Marine Battery Chargers designed to meet all your boating.

VDC provides a wide range of battery chargers/maintainers/desulphators for all your boating needs.

With up to 85% of the 70 million new 12 volt storage batteries made each year, destined to die before they should, a new product has come to the rescue.

BatteryMINDer is the first of a new generation of "Computer-On-A-Chip" technology. It conditions "sulphated" batteries as well as automatically charging any type 12 volt storage battery without ever over-charging. Dubbed the charger with a "brain," it is believed to be the first charger of its kind to reverse the primary cause of early battery failure known as "sulphation". "Sulphation" batteries that were once considered beyond recovery can now be brought back to long-term useful condition.

12 Volt 1 Amp Only $59.95

#1 Rated*

(Model # 12112)

Don’t just charge your batteries…Condition them!

The BatteryMINDer automatically dissolves harmful power-robbing sulphation using safe, patented high-frequency pulse technology**. Guaranteed to increase your battery’s life and performance, or you get 100% of your money back within 1-year.

The BatteryMINDer is a 3-mode charger/maintainer/conditioner that extends performance and life of all types and sizes of 12 Volt lead acid batteries. These include maintenance-free, marine, deep cycle, sealed, gel, and all popular brands of AGM dry-type, valve-regulated batteries, such as InterState, Exide, Optima and Odyssey.

* Rated #1 by Motorcycle Consumers News, Feb. 05.

** Sulphation is the #1 cause of early battery failure and loss of performance as determined by the Battery Council International, Dec. 1998.

The three modes are:

charging
maintaining
desulphation

The 12 Volt - 1 Amp BatteryMINDer allows you to charge up to 4 batteries (parallel or series connected) at a time. The batteries can be the same or different type (starter, deep cycle, sealed gel, AGM, etc.). The battery voltage (6 Volt, 12 Volt), the resting voltage (minimum of 11 Volts for a 12 Volt battery and 5.5 Volts for a 6 Volt battery), Amp and the condition of the batteries must be the same if you charge more than one battery at the same time.

This BatteryMINDer desulphates in the maintenance mode after it has gone through the charging mode. Click here for the main differences between all the BatteryMINDers.

Features

Safely charges-maintains-conditions all size and type starter, deep cycle, maintenance-type, maintenance-free, sealed, gelled, AGM or dry-type batteries.
Charges and maintains from 1 to 4 batteries at a time (12 Volt batteries parallel-connected or two 6 Volt batteries series-connected) for less than 15¢ per month.
Automatically removes (dissolves) harmful sulphation using safe, U.S. patented electronic pulse technology.
The unit automatically desulphates in the maintenance mode after it completes the charging cycle.
Guaranteed to never overcharge any battery, regardless of how long connected.
No need to add water to maintenance-type batteries during long, non-use storage.
Isolation transformer and smart chip technology ensure safe, long-term performance.
Splash proof, conformal-coated circuitry ensures trouble-free life even in high-moisture marine environments.
Allows battery to be stored safely at -0°F to +120°F.
Unit comes complete with Qwik connect/disconnect battery clips and a ring terminal assembly for permanent connection with an easily replaceable fuse.
Full year 100% money-back guarantee takes the risk out of trying this great product.
