(Deland, FL)- Deltran Corporation, makers of the top-selling line of Deltran Battery Tender^® advanced battery chargers, has introduced three unique new solar-powered battery charger/maintainers for those times and places where your battery needs help and there’s no plug-in power source.

They are “100% portable” and fit “a multitude” of applications, like motorcycle, RV, marine, auto, ATV and off-road, even ranch and shelter—“any place or situation in which a battery needs to be either charged or maintained but there are no usable electrical power sources.” Deltran says its solar panel chargers are the only ones available with built-in Battery Tender^® three-step automatic microprocessor controller that prevents overcharging.

The units come in three sizes: the 5-watt/270 mAmp panel weighs just three pounds and measures 13.25” x 16” x 1”; the 10-watt/540 mAmp panel weighs 5.5 pounds at 16” x 29” x 1”; and the 15-watt/830 mAmp unit is eight pounds and measures 16” x 38” x 1”. They have a 12-volt nominal current, are reverse-polarity protected, spark proof and waterproof, have a temperature-compensation sensor, and come with a full five-year warranty.

Suggested retail prices are $79.95 for the 5-watt panel, $109.95 for the 10-watt, and $149.95 for the 15-watt.

In addition, a separate Battery Tender® Solar Controller unit is also available that allows conversion of an existing solar panel to a solar charger using Battery Tender’s “Super Smart Charging Algorithm.” It has a usable input range between 5-45 watts. MSRP is $26.95.
