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 lead-acid 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 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.
Charger input voltage: 110VAC 60Hz (or standard U.S. wall outlet).
Battery Butler®
Battery Storage Charger
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.
All of its electronics are integrated into one space saving, power module. ???
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...
We receive many phone calls inquiring about the low amperage of our chargers. Unknowingly, some of these callers assume that more amps is better - and that our chargers, that output less than 1/2 amp, are not as good as those that output 1-1/2 amps or more.  Our reply is simple.  Why should you dump more amperage into your battery than necessary?  The lower the amps and slower the rate of charge, the better and safer it is for your battery!

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 12V 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. May charge at 14 volts or higher.  The higher the charging voltage, the greater the probability for battery overheating and damage.
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 (8) BatteryButler
® chargers (and charge 8 batteries) for the price of 1 of the "other guys" 2-bank charger.

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.

Multi-Stage Battery Storage Charger - Part# BBFC300
This multi-stage, microprocessor controlled battery charger & maintainer.  It is specifically designed for the maintenance of batteries that are stored or only used periodically. This charger will prevent the normal self-discharge of your battery, while extending the life of  batteries rated from 6 to 1000 CCA. Automatically switches to 6 or 12 volt, depending on your battery voltage. Works on ALL years, ALL make & model car, truck or motorcycle batteries. This charger is specifically designed for long term use. You can safely leave it connected to your battery for days, weeks, months, even years!

MULTI-STAGE MODES:
Automatic Charging Mode: When an automatic charge is performed, the charger switches to the "Maintain Mode" (see below) automatically after the battery is charged.

Aborted Charge Mode: If charging can not be completed normally, charging will abort. When charging aborts, the charger's output is shut-off, and the "Charging" (yellow LED) will blink. To reset after an aborted charge, unplug the charger from the AC outlet, wait a few moments, and plug it back in.

Desulfation Mode: Desulfation removes deposits on your battery's internal plates.

Completion of Charge: Charge completion is indicated by the "Charged" (green LED) When lit, the charger has automatically stopped charging and switches to the "Maintain Mode" of operation.

Maintain Mode (float-mode monitoring): When the "Charged" (green LED) is lit, the charger is in "Maintain Mode" In this mode, the charger keeps the battery fully charged by delivering a small current when necessary. If the charger has to provide its maximum maintain current for a continuous 12 hour period, it will go into "Abort Mode". This is usually caused by a drain on the battery or the battery is bad. make sure there are no loads on the battery. If there is, remove them. If there are none, have the battery checked or replaced. If you do not want to disconnect your battery cable from your battery, Lectric Limited offers battery disconnect switches.

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.

n/a
1 Year Warranty ???
Car Show Judge Approved! For show car owners concerned about judging, these quick-disconnects are accepted by most, if not all, car show judges as a necessary safety feature.  Some judging standards actually award points to those using our quick-disconnect switches.  For example, the N.C.R.S. (National Corvette Restorer's Society) will award you 3 points!

For maximum battery life and vehicle security, our Quick-Disconnects can be used in conjunction with our Storage Chargers. Simply connect the charger to the battery terminal side of the disconnect switch.
