Whereas a Battery Tender works smartly by monitoring the battery level. Trickle Charger charges at a constant rate regardless of the battery level.

But it’s not true, they are not the same. Many people think that Trickle Charger and Battery Tenders are the same. Because it is a smart device that monitors the level of the battery and turns on or off according to that. Unlike battery chargers or trickle chargers, you don’t have to monitor battery tenders manually. On the other hand, a Battery Tender charges the battery once it is below the optimum level and automatically stops when the battery is full. So, even though a trickle charger takes longer than a battery charger to charge the battery, it is necessary to turn it off once the battery is fully charged. Overheating can set your house on fire if not attended on time. When I say overheating it can be as serious as burning the battery or even your house. Hence the overheating and battery damage does happen with the trickle charger as well if left turned on for longer periods. But a trickle charger doesn’t turn off automatically when the battery is fully charged. So, if you are using a Battery Charger to charge your motorcycle battery, you must turn it off when the battery is fully charged and turn it on when the battery is low.Ī Trickle Charger provides a very low voltage and thus takes a long time to charge the battery. If you don’t turn off the charger, this leads to overheating of the battery and damages the battery. Because a battery charger is not designed to ‘understand’ whether your battery is fully charged or not, it does not stop charging even after the battery is full. It doesn’t stop charging when the battery is fully charged, instead, it keeps charging the battery until you unplug it. Battery tenders on the other hand automatically stops charging when the battery is full.Ī Battery Charger charges the battery whenever you plug it in. Battery chargers charge the battery even when battery is full.
