Your not suppose to use them on your Tesla .FYI the 1 Amp version has failed on 2 vehicles; our RX450h and TSX.

You had 2 of the Genius 1's fail?FYI the 1 Amp version has failed on 2 vehicles; our RX450h and TSX.
Yes and no... We have a home 90 miles north in Petaluma, in the wine country. I leave a car there because of room and nice to have one there just in case. The RX was there for maybe a year with the tender on connections in the front (battery is in the boot). Battery died. We swapped out the RX for the TSX after I replaced the RX battery; 2 weeks ago the newer (and larger than stock) TSX battery was weak.You had 2 of the Genius 1's fail?

So 2 cars died on 1 tender. However, I have another Genius 1 here at our Los Gatos main home. I think they are both going to the circular file can unless anyone wants them. Maybe my motorcycle friends can use them? Dunno...

There are fancy versions as well …
Guy at work had a seldom driven BMW 7S and eventually put a Perko switch in to solve the problem …

Did you ever start them with the charger attached and powered on? I killed one that way and make it a point to disconnect before starting now.FYI the 1 Amp version has failed on 2 vehicles; our RX450h and TSX.
NOCO has worked much better for me over the Battery Tender I have. The Battery Tender never managed to keep my lawnmower battery viable through the winter, the NOCO does.How do the NOCO devices compare with the Battery Tender devices...?
