The only regret I have is that I didn't buy one of these sooner. It works perfectly! Keeps my boat batteries at 100% and worry free. It is a step up from the one bank model as it is fully electronic and lighter in weight with a high quality plastic case. The original steel case.

This little baby will keep your batteries charged up! My two are maintaining the charge on batteries in an ag tractor, a Caterpillar skid steer, ATV, and lawn mower. Now I need one for a two-battery diesel truck that is rarely driven any longer! Should have bought these long ago.

We have 2 cars that don't get much use. Unfortunately too often we'd find one was dead when we wanted to use it. The 2 station charger solved this problem. LEDs make it easy to monitor the state of charge and hook up/unhook takes seconds.

Should have done it ages ago!!!!!!

I now have a single and a double 1.25 amp Battery Tenders. They service my two Corvettes as well as a Buick that I don't use very much. Performance is as advertised, ie, they keep all the batterys 100% charged and ready to go. I am pleased.

Ordered to keep the battery's on my two Harleys up to charge between riding. Easy to mount to wall, came with two harnesses, one for each battery, and two sets of clips for temporary hook up. Once all is installed, easy enough, just plug in and let it do the work. Went to charge cycle for the first 6 hours or so, then maintain. Works well. Harley dealer wanted $75 for a single unit, same manufacturer, this is a better deal.

I have purchased Battery tender products from amazon in the past and find them to be absolutely essential to prolonging the life of your batteries. I recently purchased the Battery Tender 022-0165-DL-WH 12V 2-Bank Battery Management System. It does the job but the leads that are permenately attached to the unit are 48 inches long, so if you mount it to the wall you have to have your batteries or vehicles very close. I use it for my Garden tractor and motorcycle and I will have to buy the extention cord to be able to mount the unit to the wall. It is not possible for me to plug both my tractor and motorcycle with out the extention.

Storing a friend's motorcycle in our garage and the 2-bank Battery Tender was the solution for keeping both batteries charged during our cold winter season. Was using the Battery Tender Junior on my motorcycle last season but found out the "Junior" is not temperature compensated where as the 2-bank charger is.

I have used this charger to maintain batteries in my riding mower, two motorcycles, and two batteries in my F-250 diesel. The two separate charging banks work well. It has indicator lights for each bank that work independently and properly - no 'sharing' of lights leaving you guessing as to the status of each battery.

Also, I was on the verge of replacing the two batteries in the F-250 because they had sat in the cold and heat, only getting driven infrequently, over the past two years. They had gotten to where they would barely hold a charge. After hooking them to this Battery Tender, I believe that these batteries have been (at least mostly) 'repaired'. Attaching this charger and slowly charging and de-sulfating these batteries has gotten them to the point where they 'appear' to be as effective and hold a charge as well as ever. I can drive the vehicle and not worry about bringing along a charger and/or cables, 'just in case'.

The same is true for all my other batteries - the engines all start as though they have a new battery in them by using this two bank Battery Tender. I feel like this unit has more than paid for itself versus the cost of replacement batteries.

Recommendation - if you have more than two batteries to maintain, buy extra battery leads so that you can easily alternate this unit to all of the batteries. I have had great success alternating this unit between four batteries (three-four days between switching).

Updated 11/08/2009 - since I have been so satisified with this unit, and I now have more travel coming up, I said the heck with it and bought another one - Amazon's price made this a no-brainer. Now I don't need to alternate the charger between batteries - they are all covered!

Works great. Hastle free maintenance of your deep cycle batteries. Product is durable as it's been dropped twice and still works fine. Does not appear to overcharge batteries. Doesn't seem to "boil out" the battery electrolyte.

I have two batteries in my boat. Now I keep them on the tender between uses and feel much safer heading out to the lake. Oevr the winter I've always brought them in the garage and used a regular charger every few months. Never knew if I ws overcharging or even if they needed it. Now just plug in and forget. Supposed to help in maximizing the lifespan too.
