Unfortunately, just like my Schumacher 1.5 amp maintainer, Battery
Tender does not give specifications other than nominal voltage of 12v.
The Schumacher only puts out 12.85 volts so can't get the battery to
full charge. The Ctek that Ian referenced has 3 different charging
modes with at least one supplying 14.4 volts.
