![]() ![]() The purpose of the Float / Maintenance Charge Mode is to maintain the battery voltage just slightly (typically between 1/10 and ½ volt) above where it would be if it were fully charged and sitting at rest. Some BTJR models have timers to limit the duration of the Absorption Charge Mode.Īfter the current drops or the allotted time expires (typically several hours), the BTJR automatically switches to a Float / Maintenance Charge Mode. The Absorption Charge Mode is complete when the battery charge current drops below a very low value, usually below 1/8 ampere. The battery voltage will rise and when it reaches a predetermined level the BTJR will hold the battery charge voltage constant at that level, allowing the charge current amplitude to drop. Then it will deliver its full charge at a constant rate of 0.75 amperes. Even though the marketing description may still be applicable, again, in a limited context, we can say now that the BTJR has a larger brain that enables it to create maximum charge effectiveness with minimal output current amplitude.Īfter connecting the BTJR to a battery and then applying AC power, it first conducts a number of checks during Initialization Mode to ensure that the battery functioning normally. Since mid-2006 the only major functional difference between the BTJR and the BT Plus is the maximum amplitude of the charger current, 0.75 and 1.25 amperes, respectively. That description was based in context on two parts, first the relatively low output current, and second, the reduced level of charge control sophistication on earlier BTJR models relative to the BT Plus. Some legacy marketing literature refers to the BTJR as a “Trickle Charger with a Brain”. ![]() More than any other model, it created Kawasaki's reputation for building "scarily fast, good-looking, no holds barred motorcycles" and led to a further decline in the market place of the British motorcycle industry.The Battery Tender ® Junior (BTJR) battery charger has microprocessor controlled power electronic circuitry which enables it to preform and safely control a number of sophisticated charging functions, well beyond the capability of inexpensive trickle chargers. Which brought about the nickname "The Wheelie King". Nonetheless, its tendency to pull wheelies and a less than solid feel through high speed corners led to adjustments to the design as it evolved. ![]() By the standards of its time, its handling was sufficient to make it the production bike to beat on the race track. It handled better than the notoriously dangerous Mach lll, nicknamed the "Widow maker", that preceded it. In its day, the motorcycle became the undisputed "king of the streets" beating legendary muscle cars of the era such as the Plymouth Barracuda. The H2 was a Kawasaki triple sold from 1972 through 1975.Ī standard, factory produced H2 was able to travel a quarter mile from a standing start in 12.0 seconds. The Kawasaki H2 Mach IV was a 750 cc 3-cylinder two-stroke production motorcycle manufactured by the Kawasaki. It was sometimes called the "Widowmaker". The H2 once again proved that Kawasaki was at the top of the performance market. The H2 set the standard for performance, becoming the quickest bike available with quarter mile times of 12.28 seconds 110.29 mph. The 750cc H2 was the top of the line of three cylinders. Got the same one from harbor freight just one red light means its on and working, 3rd year with it no problems, just bought a 20 dollar one from wallmart for my H2 and it has the green when charged light.I hate winterH2 ? ![]()
