Battery Tender

I have used one of these on a 210 and they work great. Curiously though, the 24V model specs state: "DO NOT USE WITH AVIATION OR TRUE GEL BATTERIES"

Hmmmmm. What's up with that?

They don't want the liability of aviation related uses and why try to save a few bucks and buy something that may not work for your specific battery when there are battery minders that are designed for aviation batteries?

I would not recommend the Battery Tender as it smoked my battery. I believe it's main purpose is for charging deep cell marine batteries.
What you want is the Battery Minder.

Thanks for the info and I plan to get one on order.

The "minders" are battery-specific. I have a Gill battery so the S2 model was correct for me.
