I've heard of the older ones "poofing" out around 10 years (the age of mine). I've also heard the newer ones poof out a lot quicker and some have blown batteries and caused fires.
A guy down the street lost his garage (and everything in it) when his Battery tender and/or the batter started a fire while charging an ATV.
I have since switched to the CTEK model as it's a lot newer design. I still use my old tender, but I don't leave it on for extended periods.
