• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

HowTo: Deltran Battery Tender Junior - capacitor failure replacement

The Deltran Battery Tender Junior is a popular brand and model of battery maintainer for Spyder owners. I have one and have been pleased with it so far. Friend of mine has one and it stopped working. The led was flashing green at a fast rate. No matter if connected to a battery or not. Not the normal slow flash green when 80% charged. No voltage on the output. So a search on the internet told me a capacitor was bad on the circuit. So I ordered some from Amazon. A bag of a 100. I only needed 1. Oh well. The original was a 25volt 47 micro farad. I ordered 50 volt 47 micro farad. They came today and I replace the capacitor. It works. The hardest part of the of the job was finding my soldering iron.

I hope this helps if yours fails.
