Will a Battery Tender Work To Maintain a 5 Amp Hour Battery and a RV Battery?

Question

Question:

Can I put this battery on a battery tender to keep it fully charged? Will the same battery tender I keep on my RV battery do the job? My trailer sits for extended periods. Thanks

To determine if you will be able to use your battery tender on both a 5AH Breakaway Battery # 3801250 and your RV battery you will need to find the Amp Hour rating for your RV battery and see what your tender is rated for. We have the OptiMate 2 Smart Battery Charger # MA22WR which is rated for 12 volt batteries 3AH to 96AH. For larger batteries the Optimate 6 # MA64JR is rated for 12 volt batteries 3AH to 240AH.
