Battery Tender with Tazer Mini question

[Dunks001]

Does the Tazer Mini prevent the battery maintainer from fully charging the battery? Need to unplug my Tazer if using a battery tender.

Nope. Tazer isn't anything but a stand in programable security module. It cannot interfere physically to stop the battery from charging when there is nothing between the battery and said charger. The truck could disconnect the AUX as i believe there is a vehicle controlled switch between the two but I'm not sure.

Unplugging the tazer reset the battery tender status bar. There is some connection. I assume the tazer was keeping the systems on and not sleeping.

Possible, but so far I can't recall anyone complaining about tazer draining or causing a battery drain. Maybe I've just not seen those reports if they exist.
It takes so very little to reset some of the battery tenders. I can disconnect and reconnect almost any modern charger and it wants to start over as if all phases are needed.

Not knowing the brand or capacity of your "battery tender" leaves some room for guessing here.

No, they are constantly connected in parallel as long as the truck is off, or running. It only disconnects the aux battery during an ESS stop or for a brief blip when starting to verify it's there, and voltage.

@ShadowsPapa its an honor. ??
There were issues with Tazers draining batteries. They did a firmware update for it. I’m going reset tazer firmware and settings for good measure. The “critical” steps at the end might have messed up last time.

I keep a battery tender (NOCO Genius 10) and I have a Tazer installed without issue.

I don't have a tazer, I have no need or desire for one (as of today), but I observe and see they take any problems seriously and fix anything that is shown to be related to their product. All companies could take note of their support.
