THE PROBLEM:
You try to start your vehicle after it's been sitting for a few weeks or months, and your battery is completely dead.
THE SOLUTION:
The Battery Butler
®
Storage Charger!
The Battery Butler
®
Battery Storage/Maintenance Chargers are specifically designed for the maintenance of 12 Volt batteries that are stored or only used periodically.
These chargers will prevent the normal self-discharge of your battery, while extending the life of rechargeable 12 volt batteries by providing a minimum current, regulated output. Other types of chargers provide a strong, rapid charge that tend to boil out liquids and decay electrodes.
With the Battery Butler
®
charger, once your battery has been fully charged, it will automatically shut-off; then resume charging as your battery level drops.
Works on ALL wet cell, gel-cell or the new OPTIMA™ batteries. Works on
ALL
years,
ALL
make & model 12 volt car, truck or motorcycle batteries.
The Battery Butler
®
Battery Storage Chargers are specifically designed for long term use.
You can safely leave it connected to your battery for days, weeks, months, even years!
Did you know that
every week
your battery will lose 4% of its charge just by sitting (with no load)? Read about this and more

Conventional/Trickle Charger
Battery Butler® Battery Storage Charger
Conventional Battery Charger or Trickle Charger
Fully Automatic - Will keep your battery fully charged without over charging. The on-board microprocessor turns the charger on and off based on your battery's demands. It does so automatically, every few milliseconds.
Battery must be monitored to avoid over-charging and boiling-out battery's internal electrolyte. This is because a trickle charger does not have the electronics to regulate its voltage based on your battery's demands.
Designed for long term vehicle storage. Hook it up to your battery. Plug it into any wall outlet, and forget it (days, weeks, months...even years).
If left un-monitored, a conventional charger or trickle charger may over-charge and ruin your battery.
Works on all year/make/model vehicles with 6 volt or 12 volt batteries.

Includes simple to read LED charging status indicators:
FLASHING RED
light indicates that the charger is plugged into an outlet but is either not connected to your battery, or there is a reverse connection at your battery. Make sure that the terminals from the charger are connected to the correct (+ or -) terminals on your battery.
SOLID
RED
light indicates that the charge cycle has initialized and your battery is charging properly at the charger's full power output.
FLASHING
GREEN
light indicates that your battery is in absorption mode and more than 80% charged.
SOLID GREEN
light indicates that your battery is now fully charged, and the charger is now in maintenance mode monitoring your battery. The charger will automatically turn itself on & off as required by your battery.
Most trickle chargers do not include a status indicator and conventional chargers use hard to understand meters.
All of its electronics are integrated into one compact and space-saving power module.
???
Includes, and connects to, multiple adapters. Use the Clip Terminal Adapter (included) to temporarily connect to top post or side post battery. Use the Ring Terminal Adapter with 7.5 amp protection fuse (included) to connect to the battery of your your motorcycle, snowmobile, lawn tractor, generator, etc.. The Ring Terminal Adapter is ideal for a more permanent connection to your battery. Use the Cigarette Lighter / Power Plug Adapter (optional item, part #BBPA101) to conveniently maintain your battery through your vehicle's cigarette lighter or power plug port. Incorporates an integrated protective fuse. (For more information about part # BBPA101, see below)
Many storage chargers do not include provisions for multiple battery connections types.
When using the Battery Butler® charger, you do not need to disconnect your vehicle's battery cables from the battery. This is a BIG convenience!
Spikes from conventional battery chargers can ruin sensitive vehicle electronics. Disconnecting the vehicle's battery cables from the battery is highly recommended.
Provides a safe, regulated minimum current charge (about 3/4 amp) to your battery to maintain its peak capacity. Once your battery has fully charged, the charger's output current to your battery will stop - then resume as soon as battery level drops. On a side note... We receive many phone calls inquiring about the low amperage of our chargers. Unknowingly, some of these callers assume that more amps is better - and that our chargers are not as good as those that push 1-1/2 amps, 2 amps, 3 amps or more. Our reply is simple. Why would you push more amperage into your battery than necessary? The lower the amps and slower the rate of charge, the better and safer it is for your battery. Please remember that the purpose of the BatteryButler® storage/maintenance charger is to safely keep your battery at peak charge over a long period of time (weeks, months, years). It is NOT designed to quickly charge your battery so you can get to work on time.
Deliver a strong, rapid charge that tends to boil-out battery liquids and decay battery electrodes. This is not good for any battery. Even a typical "trickle charger" is not designed for long-term continuous use. A typical trickle charger does not have any type of monitoring circuitry. Consequently, it can not regulate its on/off cycle or its output voltage. And often, its amperage is too high for optimal charging.
Safe for use on newer cars & trucks with computers, clocks and delicate electronics. On newer vehicles vehicles, when the engine is turned off, the vehicle's electronics typically draw a constant 15-50ma (milliamp) from the battery. The BatteryButler® Storage Charger can easily, and safely replenish this draw with its 750ma (or about 3/4 amp) output.
Other small storage/maintenance-type battery chargers deliver a charge of between 1-1/2 amps, 2 amps, 3 amps, or more. This amount of amperage is not necessary unless you need to quickly charge your battery. The higher the amperage, the less safe, and harder it is on your battery. The latest technology Optima or Optima-type battery manufacturers do not recommend charging their batteries with a float charger that outputs over 1 amp.
Charges your 12V battery at approximately 13.8-14 volts (or 6.9 volts for a 6 volt battery) as recommended by most battery manufacturers. You can check with the manufacturer of your specific battery for their recommendation.
May charge at 15 volts or higher. The higher the charging voltage, the greater the probability for battery overheating and damage.
Short-Circuit Protected. If you accidentally touch the 2 leads of this charger together, it will not damage the charger's internal circuitry.
???
These chargers are so sensitive to a drop in battery voltage that many times the green indicator light will appear to flash, as the module cycles on & off.
Sensitivity of this level can only be found on higher priced battery chargers.
Designed for use on wet-cell, sealed lead acid, maintenance-free, or AGM (absorption glass mat) batteries. Note: OPTIMA™ Batteries use AGM technology. These batteries can be charged at normal lead-acid regulated charging voltages. For more info. go to the Optima Battery F.A.Q.
May not be recommended for use on batteries other than a wet cell type. This is because these chargers: do not automatically turn on & off, have output current higher than 1 amp.
The Battery Butler® charger can also charge deep cycle batteries. This is ideal for batteries used on boats, trolling motors, sump pump back-up systems, etc.
???
The Battery Butler® charger is designed to charge (1) battery at a time.
Other manufacturers claim that their charger is able to charge multiple batteries at the same time. This may be true. But their charger, that can maintain 2 batteries, costs 0. And the one that maintains 4 batteries costs 0!!! Let's do the math....You can buy (6) Battery Butler® BBFC100 chargers (and charge 6 batteries) for the price of 1 of the "other guys" 2-bank chargers. Simple Math = Big Savings!
You do not need to add water to your battery during non-charging periods. However, while your battery is being charged, it is always recommended that you periodically check the water level of any non-maintenance-free battery at intervals recommended by the manufacturer. You do not have to check (nor can you check) the water level of maintenance-free type batteries.
Other battery charger manufacturers infer that you don't need to check the water level of your battery. This makes no sense as your water level will drop over time as your battery is charged. If the water is not replenished to cover the internal lead plates, your battery may be ruined!
1 Year Warranty with proof of purchase takes the risk out of trying the Battery Butler® charger.
Many companies have no warranties on electrical devices. Other companies will only warranty their chargers for 30-90 days.
