Make sure you get a float charger, not a trickle charger. There is a big difference. The battery tender is a float charger, I'd get the standard size (not the ...

I'm in Hawaii for a 2 more days having attended my Mom's funeral this past week. While visiting my sister she informed me that I still had a 74 Europa wheel at...

Scott, it's not just the high performance types you need to keep on a battery tender. You'll need one anytime you leave the cars for several days without...
Much as I generally like HF stuff (and cheap stuff, even better...), the output of that unit is just a BIT high for 24/7 use -- hence my earlier recommendation...
