THE PROBLEM: You try to start your vehicle after it's been sitting for a few weeks
or months, and your battery is completely dead.
THE SOLUTION: The Battery Butler® Storage Charger!
The Battery Butler® Battery Storage/Maintenance Chargers are specifically designed for the maintenance of 12 Volt batteries that are stored or only used periodically. These chargers will prevent the normal self-discharge of your battery, while extending the life of rechargeable 12 volt batteries by providing a minimum current, regulated output. Other types of chargers provide a strong, rapid charge that tend to boil out liquids and decay electrodes. With the Battery Butler® charger, once your battery has been fully charged, it will automatically shut-off; then resume charging as your battery level drops. Works on ALL wet cell, gel-cell or the new OPTIMA™ batteries. Works on ALL years, ALL make & model 12 volt car, truck or motorcycle batteries. The Battery Butler® Battery Storage Chargers are specifically designed for long term use. You can safely leave it connected to your battery for days, weeks, months, even years! Did you know that every week your battery will lose 4% of its charge just by sitting (with no load)? Read about this and more Battery F.A.Q.s or the General F.A.Q.s. |

Butler® 12 Volt Battery Storage Charger Part #BBFC100 (12 volt) |
Conventional
Battery Chargers and Trickle Chargers |
||||
| Fully Automatic - Will keep your battery fully charged without over charging. The on-board microprocessor turns the charger on and off based on your battery's demands. It does so automatically, every few milliseconds. | Battery must be monitored to avoid over-charging and boiling-out battery's internal electrolyte. This is because a trickle charger does not have the electronics to regulate its voltage based on your battery's demands. | ||||
|
Designed
for long term vehicle storage. Hook it up to your battery. Plug it into any wall outlet, and forget it (days, weeks, months even years). |
If left unmonitored, may over-charge and ruin your battery. | ||||
| Works on ALL year, ALL make & model car, truck or motorcycle (12 or 6 volt) batteries! | ??? | ||||
|
Includes
simple to read LED charging status indicators: RED LED light indicates power to the module from AC outlet. GREEN LED light indicates battery being charged. On a good battery, the Green light will go out when battery is fully charged. |
Most trickle chargers do not include a status indicator and conventional chargers use hard to understand meters. | ||||
|
NEW & IMPROVED! The BBFC100 now integrated all its electronics into one space saving, power module. |
??? | ||||
|
NEW & IMPROVED! The BBFC100 now includes, and connects to, multiple adapters. Use the Clip Terminal Adapter (included) to temporarily connect top post or side post battery. Use the Ring Terminal Adapter (included) to connect to your motorcycle, snowmobile, lawn tractor, etc. battery. The Ring Terminal Adapter is ideal for a more permanent connection to your battery. Use the Cigarette Lighter / Power Plug Adapter (optional item) to conveniently maintain your battery through your vehicle's cigarette lighter or power plug port. Incorporates an integrated protective fuse. (Part # BBPA101 - see below) |
Many storage chargers do not include provisions for multiple battery connections types. | ||||
| When using the BatteryButler® charger, you do not need to disconnect your vehicle's battery cables from the battery. This is a BIG convenience! | Spikes from conventional battery chargers can ruin sensitive vehicle electronics. Disconnecting the vehicle's battery cables from the battery is highly recommended. | ||||
|
Provides
a safe, regulated minimum current charge (less than 1/2 amp) to your battery to maintain its peak capacity. Once your battery has fully charged, the charger's output current to your battery will stop - then resume as soon as battery level drops.
On a side note... Please remember that the purpose of the BatteryButler® storage/maintenance charger is to safely keep your battery at peak charge over a long period of time (weeks, months, years). It is not designed to quickly charge your battery so you can get to work on time. |
Deliver
a strong, rapid charge that tends to boil-out battery liquids and decay battery electrodes. This is not good for any battery. Even a typical "trickle charger" is not designed for long-term continuous use. A typical trickle charger does not have any type of monitoring circuitry. Consequently, it can not regulate its on/off cycle or its output voltage. And often, its amperage is too high for optimal charging. |
||||
|
Safe
for use on newer cars & trucks with computers, clocks and delicate electronics. On newer vehicles vehicles, when the engine is turned off, the vehicle's electronics typically draw a constant 15-50ma (milliamp) from the battery. The BatteryButler® Storage Charger can easily, and safely replenish this draw with its 300-500ma (or about 1/2 amp) output. |
Other small storage/maintenance-type battery chargers deliver a charge of between 1 & 2 amps (or higher). This amount of amperage is not necessary. The higher the amperage, the less safe, and harder it is on your battery. The latest technology Optima or Optima-type battery manufacturers do not recommend charging their batteries with a float charger that outputs over 1 amp. |
||||
|
Charges
your 12 volt battery at approximately 13.8 volts (or 6.9 volts for a 6 volt battery) as recommended by most battery manufacturers. You can check with the manufacturer of your specific battery for their recommendation. The latest technology Optima batteries recommend charging their 12 volt batteries between 13.2 - 13.8 volts. |
May charge at 14 volts or higher.
The higher the charging voltage, the greater the probability for battery overheating and damage. The latest technology Optima batteries do not recommend charging their 12 volt batteries at over 13.8 volts. |
||||
| Short-Circuit Protected. If, for a brief moment, you accidentally touch the 2 leads of this charger together, it will not damage the charger's internal circuitry. | ??? | ||||
| These chargers are so sensitive to a drop in battery voltage that many times the green indicator light will appear to flash, as the module cycles on & off. | Sensitivity of this level can only be found on higher priced battery chargers. | ||||
|
Designed
for use on wet-cell, gel-cell or OPTIMA™ batteries. Note: OPTIMA™ Batteries use AGM (Absorption Glass Mat) technology. These batteries can be charged at normal lead-acid regulated charging voltages. For more info. go to the Optima Battery F.A.Q. Not only will our BatteryButler® chargers shut off when necessary, the output current is less than 1/2 amp so it's completely safe for use on OPTIMA™ batteries. |
May
not be recommended for use on batteries other than a wet cell type. This is because these chargers: - do not automatically turn on & off, - have output current higher than 1 amp - and/or their output voltage is greater than 13.8 volts. |
||||
| The BatteryButler® charger can also charge deep cycle batteries. This is ideal for batteries used on boats, trolling motors, sump pump back-up systems, etc. | ??? | ||||
| The BatteryButler® charger is designed to charge 1 battery at a time. |
Other
manufacturers claim that their charger is able to charge multiple batteries at the same time. This may be true. But their charger, that can maintain 2 batteries, costs $130. And the one that maintains 4 batteries costs $250!!!
Let's do the
math.... You can buy (16) BatteryButler® chargers (and charge 16 batteries) for the price of the "other guys" 4-bank charger. Simple Math = Big Savings! |
||||
| You do not need to add water to your battery during non-use periods. However, while your battery is being charged, it is always recommended that you periodically check the water level of any non-maintenance-free battery at intervals recommended by the manufacturer. You do not have to check (nor can check) the water level of maintenance-free type batteries. | Other battery charger manufacturers infer that you don't need to check the water level of your battery. This makes no sense as your water level will drop over time as your battery is charged. If the water is not replenished to cover the internal lead plates, your battery may be ruined! | ||||
| 1 Year Warranty with proof of purchase from Lectric Limited. Takes the risk out of trying the BatteryButler® charger. | Many companies have no warranties on electrical devices. Other companies will only warranty their chargers for 30-90 days. | ||||

Battery
Butler® Battery Quick-Disconnects One simple device does it all! |
Verses the alternative. | |
| Eliminates battery drain while vehicle is in storage: Disconnect battery from devices that continuously draw power from your battery. |
A vehicle in storage or not used for a prolonged period of time will drain your battery faster than if you disconnected your battery cable. This is because parasitic devices continuously draw power from your battery. Devices like: clock, radio display, computer, etc. Not to mention the interior lights that forgot to get turned off! | |
|
For safety when servicing your vehicle: - With battery cable disconnected, you can safely work on your vehicle without the worry of sparks or a short circuit. - Eliminates the chance of damaging expensive electrical or computerized equipment. |
If you work on your vehicle without disconnecting your battery, you run the risk of a short circuit, burning a wiring harness, the chance of damaging expensive electrical or computerized equipment or personal injury. Don't do it! | |
| As an
anti-theft device: - You can't start a car without battery power! - Inexpensive & reliable. |
A commercial alarm system is not only expensive, but expensive to install. And who really pays attention to those annoying, blaring alarms anyway? | |
|
Easy to install: 1. Remove the negative battery cable from your battery. 2. Install switch on the negative post of your battery. 3. Attach battery cable to the switch, and you are done! |
A commercial
alarm system can be difficult to install if you do it yourself. Or
expensive to install if you have someone else do it.
|
|
| Easy to
use: - Once installed, requires no tools to disconnect battery. - To engage power just hand-tighten the knob. - To disconnect battery power, slightly loosen the knob. - To discourage unauthorized use while vehicle is stored at home, parked, or when traveling, completely remove the knob (on BBDC101). |
Who wants to get out the tools, spend the time, and get dirty disconnecting their battery cable every time they park their car, work on their car, or put it in storage? Not only that, by continuously disconnecting your battery cable, you run the chance of damaging the soft-lead battery posts and cable clamps. | |
|
Heavy-Duty Rated: For 6-24 volt batteries, drawing up to 125 amps. NOTE: These battery disconnects are designed to be used with only 1 battery. Semi-trucks, some commercial equipment, or vehicles that use multiple batteries, will draw too much amperage through these disconnect switches and may cause them to fail. |
