I should have ordered two more!,November 5, 2009
By Birneyfrom Northern California
"This is something I always wanted to try but wasn't sure how well it would work. Now I know, and I will be ordering two more. It is good enough to keep both batteries FULLY charged in my boat without overcharging. The boat is ready to go with fresh fully charged batteries always. Now it's time the old truck and the mower get their own chargers too!"

VDC BatteryMINDer,October 19, 2009
By bradwfrom Petaluma, CA
"Quality product. I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical at first with the "Desulphator" feature, but I have saved two batteries with it. The maintainer works great for being so small & compact. I would like to see a "splitter" feature on the cord so that it could maintain two batteries at the same time."

v.d.c. battery minder,October 19, 2009
By davidr277from weirton ,W>V>
"I have 3 vehicles-1 inside garage and 2 outside garage. In the middle of winter the battery minder keeps the batteries up to full charge . I don't have to worry any more that the colder the temperatures get that the batteries will discharge. The 2 vehicles in the outside garage start as easily as the one in the inside. ONLY ONE THING I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMEND IS TO BUY AND INSTALL A NEW BATTERY BEFORE USING THE BATTERY MINDER !"

The Cat's Meow,August 25, 2009
By sail2xxsfrom Edgewater, MD
"This charger is awesome - the battery on my 2006 Honda ST1300 motorcycle was getting tired and unpredictable, and the battery charger for my boat died over the winter. This little charger took care of both problems, at a cost of less than half of a new battery for the bike. I ran the recondition/desulphation cycle on the motorcycle battery while I was on a two week trip - since then, the bike has started perfectly every morning. Important, since I depend on it for commuting year round."

"This works great! Easy to use. Restores and protects battery. Perfect for my MG with two 6-volt batteries in-series. The charger takes the voltage goes up to about 14.10 vdc then automatically drops back to about 13.54 vdc and stays there. The instruction book is clear and adequately detailed. It is a good idea to measure the resting voltage of the battery after hooking up but before plugging in the charger. The charger wants to see over 11 vdc before it will start its work. I really like and trust this product!"

By U1A69from Centalia, Mo
"These chargers are great ! I have 3 of these they do a great job of charging and maintaining batteries on autos,atvs,jet skiies or any other vehicle that may not get used often. 3 of these cost me about the same as 1 battery for my jet ski that I had to buy before I bought the Battery Minder, They have saved me alot of money and headaches with dead batteries."

BatteryMINDer,July 22, 2009
By senofrom CHEBOYGAN,MI
"This item has really saved me in the winter months. I own an older John Deere lawn tractor with snow blower and a ATV 4x4.( The John Deere still has the orginal battery.) I keep both hooked up to the VDC Electronics BatteryMINDer Charger,Maintainer,Desulphator. It's like having them parked in a heated garage. I've also put one on my John Deere(diesel) farm tractor. This Item is a must have for my shop maintenance. Thankyou, S. Eno, Cheboygan,Mi"

does the job,July 20, 2009
By marv56425from Minnesota
"I use it on my boat starting battery and have noticed the voltage stays higher while using my electronics on the water for hours at a time. The voltage used to dip to 12.2 or 12.1, now it stays around 12.6 to 12.4. I bought 2 more for the atv's."

No more weak automotive batteries.,July 13, 2009
By MontnaGrizfrom Rural Montana
"Since purchasing the VDC 12 Volt, 1.3 amp BatteryMINDer Charger (model 12117), I no longer have to worry about not being able to start my 13 year old Jaguar XJS convertible. In the past, if it sat for more than 5 days without being started and run for 30 minutes, it would not have enough "juice" to turn over the engine. The battery for this vehicle is in the trunk and the permant installation of this Battery MINDer was very simple and quickly done, even for a 'senior citizen' in his 80th decade. I am totally pleased with this item and have complete peace-of-mind that when I "turn the key", the Jag will start!! In addition, the desulphurazition feature is a great added benefit. Very fine product....highly recommed it."

Charged up and ready,July 13, 2009
By wizn07from McMurray, PA
"Great little charger. I use this for my 1995 Chevy bucket truck. Since this truck is a spare and doesn't get used too much, we were never sure if it was going to start when we needed it. Since putting this device to use...no more dead batteries! Works just as described, comes with a permanant mount plug assembly and is ready to go right out of the box. LED display gives positive indication it is working and connected correctly. Excellent unit."

great for maintaining,July 13, 2009
By Jonny6from Lake Hopatcong, NJ
"Part of my responsibilities are to take care of my families boats and cars. Last fall we purchased two BatteryMINDer plus maintainers to help maintain 2 of our 6 batteries. When spring came; I put those 2 batteries onto my full size charger and they registered 100%. I then took a large 7 year old battery out of my BMW that was sitting for 3 months, the battery wasn't in good shape. A week on the BatteryMINDer, and the battery is back in the car. This is a great product that is easy to use and doesn't blow your budget."

A must have for 4-wheelers. . .,March 16, 2009
By BWyofrom Wyoming
"I don't use my 4-wheeler (ATV) much during the winter months. So naturally, whenever I go to start it the battery is dead. I got sick of having to jump start my ATV every time I wanted to use it. The BatterMINDer solved my problem. It only took me about 5 minutes to get everything set up the way I wanted it. Then I plugged it in and forgot about it. I can go to the garage and fire up my 4-wheeler without any problem, even after weeks of not being used. From now on, If I store a battery, it's hooked up to a BatteryMINDer. It sure beats dragging out the jumper cables.
I also like the fact that the battery is conditioned and desulphated while plugged into the BatterMINDer. This extends battery life and helps the battery hold more of a charge longer.
I stand behind BatteryMINDer. It's well worth it."

Perfect Way To Keep Battery Charged,March 16, 2009
By JJHunterfrom Gainesville, GA
"I hooked it up to my older work truck that I occasionally use. Previously, I had to reconnect the battery and recharge it before I could use the truck. Now I don't have to plan ahead. Desulphator is useful to maintain the battery's quality. The process can take a couple of days or a couple on months depending on the condition of the battery. The BatteryMINDer is a good way to keep your boat, tractor, or ATV battery charged and ready."
