Battery Tender® by Deltran, a leading battery charger manufacturer and pioneer in microprocessor-controlled battery maintenance technology, announced the nationwide launch of its 5 AMP Selectable Battery Charger and Maintainer at Costco Wholesale locations across the United States and Canada, including Costco.com. This marks the fourth Battery Tender battery charging product available through Costco over the brands’ 13+ year retail partnership, expanding consumer access to professional-grade battery maintenance solutions for automotive, marine, powersports, and recreational vehicles.
“Our 13-year partnership with Costco has been built on a shared commitment to delivering exceptional value and quality to members nationwide,” said Michael Prelec, CEO of Deltran. “Whether it’s maintaining a classic car battery during winter storage, keeping a motorcycle battery charged between rides, or ensuring a boat battery stays ready for next season, our 5 AMP smart battery charger gives users confidence that their battery will be fully charged and ready when they need it. We’re proud to expand our Costco lineup with this fourth charger offering.”
The Perfect Battery Maintenance Solution for Every Vehicle Owner
The Battery Tender 5 AMP Selectable Battery Charger is a versatile smart battery charger designed for fast recharging and long-term battery maintenance across multiple vehicle types. Designed and engineered in the USA, this weather-resistant battery maintainer features selectable voltage (6V or 12V battery charger modes) and multi-chemistry support for Lithium LiFePO4 batteries, AGM batteries, GEL batteries, and conventional lead-acid batteries.
The intelligent charging system makes it ideal for classic car battery maintenance during winter storage or seasonal parking, motorcycle battery charging for riders who store bikes between seasons, marine battery care for boats, jet skis, and watercraft, RV battery maintenance for recreational vehicles and campers, powersports battery charging for ATVs, UTVs, and snowmobiles, lawn equipment battery care for tractors and riding mowers, golf cart battery maintenance for 6V and 12V systems, and automotive battery charging for cars, trucks, and SUVs.
Advanced Smart Battery Charging Technology
The 5 AMP Battery Tender charger features intelligent microprocessor-controlled charging software that automatically switches to float mode battery maintenance once the battery reaches full charge. This automatic battery maintainer technology maintains optimal voltage levels without overcharging, extending battery life and preventing battery sulfation—the leading cause of battery failure.
Key Battery Charger Features:
- Selectable 6V and 12V battery charging for maximum vehicle compatibility across multiple applications
- Multi-chemistry battery support: Lithium (LiFePO4), AGM, GEL, and lead-acid batteries with optimized charging profiles
- 5 AMP fast charging reduces charging time while protecting battery health and longevity
- Automatic battery maintainer mode prevents overcharging during long-term storage
- Weatherproof IP65-rated design for garage, workshop, or outdoor battery maintenance in any environment
- Microprocessor-controlled smart charging with multi-stage charging algorithm for optimal performance
- Complete safety protection: Spark-proof technology, reverse polarity protection, and short-circuit protection
- Universal compatibility: Cars, trucks, motorcycles, ATVs, boats, RVs, golf carts, lawn equipment, and more
- LED indicator lights provide clear charging status at a glance
- Compact and portable design for easy storage and transport
- Quick-disconnect harness included for permanent installation and easy connection
- Heavy-duty alligator clips for temporary charging applications
How the Battery Tender 5 AMP Charger Works
Using the Battery Tender 5 AMP Selectable Charger is simple and straightforward:
- Plug in the unit to a standard 120V AC outlet
- Connect to your battery using the included quick-disconnect harness or alligator clips
- Select your voltage (6V or 12V) based on your battery type
- Select your battery chemistry (Lithium, AGM/GEL, or Lead-Acid)
- Let it charge – the intelligent microprocessor does the rest
The charger automatically progresses through our four-step charging process:
Initialization: Checks battery condition and compatibility
Bulk Charging: Delivers maximum safe current (5 AMPs) to quickly restore battery capacity
Absorption: Gradually reduces current as battery approaches full charge
Float Mode Maintenance: Maintains optimal voltage indefinitely without overcharging
This “connect and forget” functionality makes it ideal for seasonal storage, extended parking, or maintaining backup vehicles and equipment. You can leave the Battery Tender connected for weeks or months without any risk of overcharging or battery damage.
Why Battery Tender Stands Out
Since pioneering microprocessor-controlled battery charging technology in 1989, Battery Tender has remained the gold standard in battery maintenance. Unlike basic trickle chargers that can overcharge and damage batteries, Battery Tender’s intelligent charging systems continuously monitor battery condition and adjust charging parameters in real-time.
The result? Batteries that last longer, perform better, and are always ready when you need them. Whether you’re a classic car collector, motorcycle enthusiast, boat owner, or simply someone who wants to protect their vehicle investment, Battery Tender delivers professional-grade performance with consumer-friendly simplicity.
A Partnership Built on Quality and Trust
The Battery Tender and Costco partnership, now in its 13th year, reflects both brands’ commitment to delivering exceptional value to consumers. This fourth Battery Tender product launch at Costco demonstrates the continued trust Costco members place in Battery Tender’s reputation for quality, reliability, and innovation.
“Costco members expect the best, and that’s exactly what Battery Tender delivers,” added Prelec. “Our products are backed by industry-leading warranties and decades of proven performance. When you choose Battery Tender, you’re choosing peace of mind.”
