Will this charge a DEAD gel cell motorcycle battery?

It might, depending upon battery size and how discharged it is - if it is totally discharged, nothing may bring it back, but if it is just really low, you might try to pre-charge it with a regular charger and then maintan it ( which is what the Tender is for) wihe the Battery Tender.Remember, it is only 1.25 amp and I would think you might need at least 2 amps for charging very weak batteries

It will if the battery is still good it will take a while ,they only put in 1.5 amp .

Deltran Battery Tenders are maintainers (low output). They will charge a totally dead battery, but to do so requires a second, good battery. Terminate the dead and good batteries in parallel. Hook the Deltran as always. Allow it to charge until 80% complete (green light on, red light blinking). Remove the paralleled battery. Finish charging the once dead battery.

It will if the battery in question is still capable of holding a charge. However, it will take some time to accomplish as this charger only puts out one or two amps. Attach it to the battery and leave it alone until the green light comes on.

Yes. The gel conducts the current. There may be some other type of gel you can use, but I don't know what it is.

Yes this will charge a battery using the same USB you would on your ohibe. Great for trips when you don't want to run out of battery as well if you happen to have a spare!

Should work. Mine does. Can you check amps from unit charger on battery with amp meter? Try again, recharge unit, clamps with good connection and try on dead battery and measure amps. If bad return to Amazon. Good luck

No, it's only for charging any 12 volt automotive type battery. That includes flooded acid, AGM, GEL but not dry cells like odyssey batteries. They use a much higher amperage charger. The reason you cannot use this to run anything is because it charges by sensing voltage in a battery and runns a program depending on each of the 3 battery types I mentioned above. It will charge 1.25 amps until 80% of float voltage which is 80% of 13.2 volts except the GEL that's a little higher and then it cuts the charge rate to .13 amps for about 8 minimum hours and won't stop until 72 hours have elapsed. In most cases batteries are charged in 8-12 hours. If you discharge the battery while it's charging it messes up the program.

With the proper connector, yes. Charger will do it. Charge at 5.0 amp rate for the battery you have listed.

No... but if you are talking about a battery that had the lights left on overnight and 'dead' it will not charge if it is below (I think 2 volts) some minimum voltage left in the battery. It IS very frustrating because the older 'not so smart' chargers would at least try to charge a dead battery where these smart ones won't work at all. I faked one out once by connecting a small motorcycle battery to my dead car battery and fooled the 'smart charger' to start working and then put the motorcycle battery back. Battery was fine after about 6-8 hours of charging.

That depends on your motor. Check if it is a 5 Volts and consumes 5mah or less. If that's the case, Yes it will work.Other thing you can do is to use this cell to charge a battery, then use that battery to operate your motor.

No it is not a gel battery. It is a good one. Had start my roadking in 2 and a half months, fired on first crank. Seems to have alot more power than my H-d did.

No... it will blow the 3 Amp fuse right away. You could connect it and just let it sit and it will charge the battery but don't try cranking the motorcycle while connected. It would most likely draw more than the 3-Amp fuse.

Mr. BuddyOlPal I did a little research on your question, first the term "dry cell" is a little misleading for this battery, it is actually a AGM design Battery, which means it is a glass mat and not a true "dry cell"...that term, belongs to batteries like AA AAA C D Batteries. According to the battery manufacturer... Any conventional battery charger or alternator up to 15.2 volts and 25 amps will be sufficient....However I would not use a charger that high for that type of battery, I would use a lower amperage, say something from 2 -6 amps would be better.....The smart charger does not supply that kind of current, it is only for a charged battery and to maintain it while it is not being used....I installed a AGM battery as a second battery in my 4 wheeler and this battery maintainer worked really well for that purpose, so if your battery is ok and charged, then it should work just fine...

Yes, I have a motorcycle battery, it is always fully charged. Just clips onto terminals. It is hooked up to a meter and works right up till sun sets.

It should, it charges 3 cell lipo's just fine. May take a while, it's not the fastest charger in the world.

I don't think it will. It's meant to keep an already good (or charged) motorcycle/lawnmower/scooter battery from loosing power during the winter or non use months. Meant to trickle a charge to the battery. Sorry this is not a true answer but based on my experience it's all I can share.

This product is not to charge a dead battery, it's to maintain the charge during long periods when you are not going to use your motorcycle.

I tried to charge battery with original charger and it did not charge. I had to go to buy a Makita battery from Home Depot.
