Deltran Battery Tender

[junior]

The existing one went kaput after 10 years, ordered a new one and now this on the package :facepalm:

Ooooo contriband.....

I assume because they use too much power?

LOL, you got to be kidding.... Run, don't walk when ya leave there

I believe that issue has been resolved and they are legal for sale in CA again. You probably just got the old packaging.

 

[twobjshelbys]

Wow, what was the issue?

From what I understand, California has been trying to eliminate "vampire" electronics that waste electricity when plugged in but not in use. So all the electronics sold here need a certification. For a few years, Beltran tenders did not have the formal certification, but it was cleared 1-2 years ago.

What about all the computers always running in Silly Valley? I can see CA killing that golden goose in the name of saving energy...
