About this item
- FEATURING SMARTECHNOLOGY – Model 1500 features a SmarTECHnology plug’n run 1.5 AMP battery charger/maintainer with full-time automatic high frequency pulse desulfator.
- EXTENDED BATTERY LIFE - Automatic full time desulfator reverses sulfation (a buildup of lead sulfate crystals) the primary cause of early battery failure by using a patented range of high frequencies to safely remove sulfation and recondition weak batteries. Sulfated batteries once considered beyond recovery can now be brought back to long-term useful condition. Extending battery life up to four times when compared to new batteries not being properly maintained.
- AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR – Installed temperature compensation precisely adjusts battery voltage based on temperature sensor readings. This ensures your battery will always be properly charged and maintained no matter what conditions it is subject to. Reverse polarity, short-circuit and over temperature protection.
- WORKS WITH A VARIETY OF BATTERY TYPES – Flooded, sealed, maintenance-free starter, deep cycle, Optima brand sealed AGM, and marine batteries. Model 1500 can maintain up to four batteries at a time when connected in parallel. Requires the use of Y-Connectors 27879 or 18ga (sold separately). Ideal for winterizing Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles, ATV, Boat, etc. The 90-240V AC 47-63 Hz input allows for worldwide use.
- FCC CERTIFIED - Certified by the California Energy Commission as meeting the current efficiency standards, which means it meets strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I had use this charger to bring batteries back from the dead. It is not magic and if the battery is beyond hope it will do nothing for it but I had batteries which were severely discharged and refused to recharge with other chargers but this little guy brought them back.
After reading a fair amount of comparison shopping for battery tenders/chargers (there's a difference apparently!), I opted for the BatteryMINDer 1500 for a few reasons: 1) needed the desulfator function, 2) costs, and 3) general function/capability. My biggest concern was that any charger I chose wouldn't even do anything for me because of how low the voltage was (no seriously, 0V!). Most chargers either made it clear that voltages less than 10V wouldn't charge.
The instructions for the 1500 indicated that it needed at least 3.5V. Hoping for the best, I connected the battery to my other truck (i.e., battery on ground, jumper cables to it), and let the truck run for a while. Eventually I got it just north of 3.5V after maybe 45-60 mins. At that point, I hooked it up to the 1500 and let it do it's initialization cycle. Shortly after, it indicated it was charging/desulfating.
I let it sit for a few days, checking the voltage daily. It did in fact charge it up to over 13.5V after about 6 days, I think. Since I don't drive the truck daily, the time was fine, but I was more pleased that it was even able to charge and that I hadn't killed it. We're talking about a battery that sees maybe 300 miles a year, was already 2 years old, used in AZ, and otherwise sits in a truck on the side of the house only used for truck-requiring errands. I'm pleased that it saved me from buying a new battery for an old truck that's rarely driven, and the cost of the unit was acceptable even if for only a 1-time use. Right now I've got it charging another battery...for another truck that's been sitting idle lately.
Package includes the charger unit, ample cord length, detachable battery clips, and a screw/spacer for "permanent" mounting (it replaces the screw on your outlet cover). The LEDs are easy to understand, each LED indicating one of two functions clearly shown on the unit's label.
I'd recommend the unit if you're in a similar situation. I may even keep the unit hooked up to the truck when not in use.
Pro's:
1. Smart, Reliable and Automatic:
This unit has a timer-controlled multistage algorithm including: Battery Check, Constant Current Charge, Conditioning Charge, Desulfation Check, and long-term Constant Voltage Float Charge. It works flawlessly for both Automative Starter Batteries and Sealed AGM batteries. I can leave the charger attached for months without fear of 'cooking' the battery.
2. Does produce a 5Amp 'DeSulfation' Pulse which may be effective in reviving and/or preventing mild Sulfation.
Con's:
1. Limited Success in Reviving Various Sealed and Starter Batteries:
Overcharged (Vented) AGM Sealed batteries had little or not improvement. 'Worn' Starter Batteries did not improve AmpHour Capacity after weeks of "Desulfation" by the charger. Obviously, only a fraction of 'bad' batteries have only 'mild' sulfating problems. The majority have severe capacity loss due to: Vibration Damage, Electrolyte Loss, Grid Corrosion and/or Severe Sulfation; all of which cannot be fixed.
2. Not suited for "Cycle Charging":
Since this only charges at 1.5Amps, it takes too long to charge Auto Batteries (Typical Capacity is about 20-60 AmpHours). Furthermore, some AGM batteries such as ODESSEY, require greater than 40% of the AmpHour Capacity Charge Rates when significantly discharged (for example, 28AmpHr Battery needs to be charged at a minimum of 10.7 Amps).
Overall, this is my Charger for long-term storage and battery maintenance. But I still need a higher current charger for DeepCycle charging.
The best way to prolong LeadAcid Battery life is to use the recommended ConstantCurrent/ConstantVoltage two step charging process which prevents Overcharge Damage by limiting Charging Voltage below 15V and by maintaining the battery charge to reduce sulfating by maintaining the battery voltage at a constant voltage of 13.2 to 13.5V. This charger does this reliably.
