Plug the charger into the AC after connecting the battery cables when charging. Unplug the charger from the AC then take the cables off when disconnecting.

All else is second to this bit of advice.
To repeat: Plug in last, unplug first.

Battery Tender junior. I have my ATV hooked up to it year round and it does a great job maintaining the battery all winter long. It has green and red lights that flash according to what they are doing.
Battery MINDer Plus is the first of a new generation of "Computer-On-A-Chip" technology. It conditions "sulphated" batteries as well as automatically charging any type 12 volt storage battery without ever over-charging. Dubbed the charger with a "brain," it is believed to be the first charger of its kind to reverse the primary cause of early battery failure known as "sulphation". "Sulphation" batteries that were once considered beyond recovery can now be brought back to long-term useful condition
so basically the same as battery tender in a sense
