BatteryMinder Plus Battery Maintainer – 12 Volt (1.5 amp)

This is the next generation of computer-on-a-chip battery maintainers that automatically charges, conditions and maintains maintenance-free, deep cycle, marine and sealed gel 12-volt batteries without overcharging. It is the first maintainer of its kind to reverse the primary cause of early battery failure known as sulphation. Batteries that were considered unrecoverable may now be brought back to useful condition.

• Press the button on the front of the unit to start the fully automatic de-sulphation process. The PulseMode circuitry creates high-frequency pulses that break down sulfate crystals that form on older batteries.
• Prior to connecting the BatteryMinder, ensure that the electrolyte is filled to recommended levels.
• The 12-foot long cord with the quick connect/disconnect/polarity plug end allows you to hook up or unplug in seconds.

The kit includes a quick disconnect end/ring end terminal, that may be permanently attached to the battery in the car and a quick disconnect end/alligator clip terminal for use on a battery outside the car.

The 1510 also comes with the standard 1 year money back guarantee but extends the “no hassle” warranty to 10 years. This 5-year extension (for a total of 10 years) is the reason they call it the 1510 vs 1500. Its packaging is red.

The 1510 charger arrives with a different set of SAE alligator clamps. The battery clips will be insulated—covered by plastic housing—from tip to tip to help prevent accidental shorts… that produce magnificent bursts of light and scare the bajeepers out of you (Yes, I am speaking from experience).

These charger maintainers will also come with a set of eyelets (also known as ring terminal assembly). The SAE to ring connectors will have an inline 15A replaceable auto fuse.

The original BatterMINDer Plus model 12117 was extremely popular. It looked like the typical black box wall adapter but with bright green and red writing on the face indicating it could charge, maintain and condition batteries. It was a two-stage 12 Volt 1.33 amp (1330 mA) charger without temperature compensation. The one drawback is that you had to push the green maintenance button to start the desulfation conditioning mode.

The new 1500/10 version is fully automatic using multi-phase SmarTECHnology®, has a longer but slimmer profile, is temp compensated and is now California Energy Compliant.
