The Delran Battery Tender people who make the slick little maintainer for ATV's, pickups, etc, is now making a 6V one that would be the hot deal for our 8N's. If anyone's interested, they retail for about $34 but right now I ordered one from Amazon for only $23.99.

I also have a Sears Die-Hard battery maintainer connected to my 12 volt 8N with Electronic Ignition. It works very well to keep the 8N 12 volt battery up to par when I don't use it for several weeks. The battery is 6 years old and I feel the battery maintainer/tender extends the life of the battery. I have three other battery tenders...one connected to my John Deere garden tractor, one to my 12 volt gas engine golf cart, and one to my 1996 Tahoe that I drive very little.
You can't go wrong using these battery tenders.

Yep, I agree. I mainly posted for us 6Volt guys, looks like there's not too many chargers made nowdays for 6V systems. Out of desperation I previously got one from the local farm supply but it doesn't shut off automatically and maintain like all the little Deltran Battery Tenders do.
I've had the Battery Tender Plus for about a year which I rotate between my diesel pickup and ATV and an '88 T-Bird I need to get on the ball and sell. The battery in my Polaris has surprised me, original from 2005 and I more or less neglected it during the dead of winter year after year. Still good but I just changed it yesterday to be on the safe side.

The battery tender I bought at Wally world is capable of 6 or 12. I have 3 and need 2 more but I plug mine into a timer to run for 15 or 30 minutes instead of staying on full time. There have been cases where they failed and overcharged batteries ruining them in the past.
