Bob,

I had a Deltran Battery Tender Junior on my PC680 for years and it worked fine. I sold the plane and am not driving my car as often. The Tender Junior max charge is 750 Ma. When I put it on my car that was just driven it got too hot to touch in about 30 minutes. Is it too small for the higher capacity auto battery?

I like the specs on the Yonhan unit you showed in your last entry. I plan to install a plug accessible without raising the hood and putting longer wires with a plug on the unit. Do you think this is workable??  

Thanks for all the help you have given over the years.

    Hmmmm . . . let me see if I can duplicate your

    observation. That seems a bit odd for so small

    a charger. It should be current limited to some

    value not hazardous to the charger.



    (followup) just finished a quick test to see

    if I can duplicate your observation. The BT

    performed in a civil manner while barely

    warming up to touch. I think your BT

    is hosed.
