Xtreme Chargers: You're Ok In Our Book

We recently attended the Indianapolis Dealer Expo in February, and we had several challenges leading up to a great experience with the Xtreme Charge battery chargers from Pulse Tech. (And by we, I mean our Purchasing Manager Tom. Sorry Tom.) One of the issues that we ran into was the batteries that we (Tom) had packed to power our Scooter Stereo display for our booth were rather dead. All three of them. Lucky for us Tom had also packed a generic battery charger that did get enough juice into one of the batteries that we could power up the display and the show could go on. It lasted about 2 hours.

Even luckier for us, the guys at Extreme Charge were in a booth right around the corner and they happily let us borrow one of their chargers (Part Number: 210-17). Not only did the Xtreme Charge unit bring our battery up to working condition to finish out the rest of the day, but we left one on the Xtreme Charge unit overnight and that battery was able to last the whole following 11 hour day powering our Scooter Stereo System. Needless to say we came away from the Expo very impressed, not only with the Xtreme Charge products but also with their very accommodating team. They’re providing a great product and quite frankly they rescued our show.

The 12V Extreme Battery Chargers are Five-Stage Maintenance Chargers. A unique test feature evaluates the battery thoroughly during the initial connection to determine the appropriate charge rate based on its size and condition. It tests the battery continually for as long as it is connected to the charger to maintain the optimal bulk or float charge rate. This test step incorporates a "Bad Battery" indication if it determines the battery is faulty and cannot be re-charged.

Use Xtreme Charge for maintenance and bulk charging. It's designed to be a maintenance charger for any type of 12V lead-acid battery. By imposing only the appropriate amount charge rate, the battery is maintained safely at its proper operating voltage indefinitely. Conversely, if the charger is connected to a discharged battery, its bulk charge capability (2.5 A actual/5 A effective) will re-charge the battery rapidly and safely so it can be put back into service quickly. Other features of these battery chargers include:

• Increases Battery life by up to 5 TIMES!
• Connect it and leave it - Safely charges and maintains battery indefinitely
• Properly charges ALL lead-acid batteries - standard, AGM, and Gel types
• Acts like an alternator when vehicle not in use by efficiently charging battery
• Exclusive Pulse Technology removes sulfation to extend battery life - even while connected to motorcycle/vehicle
• Weatherproof design
• High Impact Plastic housing with rubberized base
• Five year manufacturer's warranty
