Deltran
Deltran Inc. is a recognized leader in the manufacture of lead acid battery chargers. These are the chargers we include in every GEARS-IDS kit.
We chose the Deltran Battery Tender
charger because Battery Tender battery chargers are designed to fully charge and maintain a wide range of styles of lead acid batteries in ways that avoid the potential damaging effects
that can be caused by many trickle chargers. In addition, the manufacturers of Battery Tender chargers offer valuable online education resources for engineering students interested
in the science of batteries and battery charging techniques. Their comprehensive reference materials and FAQ's and
technical information are a great source of engineering information.
