Product Description
Big Batteries Deserve More Than a Trickle
Is your small charger taking days to wake up a big truck, boat, or RV battery? The Battery Tender 5 amp battery charger is built for larger batteries, so they bounce back faster and stay healthy all season.
One charger can cover everything parked in your garage, from a vintage 6V classic to a modern lithium-powered boat.
Where It Fits
Whether you manage a few work trucks or a barn full of antique tractors, this charger earns its spot on the shelf. It's a smart pick for:
- Trucks, SUVs, and work vehicles that sit between jobs
- Boats with large starting or house batteries
- RVs and campers with deep-cycle batteries
- Antique cars and farm equipment with 6V systems
- ATVs, UTVs, and powersports with larger batteries
Switching to Lithium? You're Covered
Making the move from lead-acid to lithium? You don't have to retire your old charger or buy a second one. You pick the profile that matches each battery, and the charger handles the rest.
Set It, Then Forget It
Seasonal storage is hard on batteries. Hook this charger up in the fall, match the switches to your battery, and let it work. It tops the battery off, then moves to maintenance mode on its own, so you can leave it connected all season.
One quick tip: clean your battery posts and terminals before you connect. A clean contact makes for a better charge, and one of our customers made a point of reminding everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What batteries can I charge with the Battery Tender 5 Amp?
A: It charges 6V and 12V lead-acid batteries (flooded, AGM, gel, and sealed maintenance-free) as well as LiFePO4 lithium batteries, from 20Ah to 150Ah. If your lithium battery is a different chemistry, contact us before connecting it.
Can I use it on a small motorcycle battery?
A: This charger is designed for batteries from 20Ah to 150Ah. If your battery is smaller than that, a lower-output maintainer is a better match. Not sure of your battery's size? Call us and we'll help you check.
How do I switch between 6V and 12V, or between lead-acid and lithium?
A: Two manual switches let you choose the voltage and the battery type. Double-check your battery's voltage first, set both switches to match, and follow the manual for the full steps.
The cable is short. Can I extend it?
A: The charger has about 5 feet of DC cable and a 6 foot power cord. If your battery is hard to reach, you can add a 12 foot extension cable, which we offer as a bundle with this charger.
What's in the box, and how do I connect it?
A: You get the charger, a two-in-one cable with alligator clips and a ring terminal, and an instruction manual. Use the clips for quick hookups, or attach the ring terminal to your battery and leave it in place for easy reconnecting.

Battery Tender 12 Volt 5 Amp High-Efficiency Battery Charger
I've had this device in use for about one year and found it to be an excellent choice. The permanent battery lead is too short to install
if you want to use it without opening the hood. I would like to see a six foot extension cable for the unit to facilitate easier hookup.
I would recommend this unit over the lower amperage units for all around use.
Please clean posts and terminals before using!
