The racecar is stored at the in-laws for the winter so thinking about a battery tender. In the "non-winter" months I would just start the car up once a week or so and let it run (or drive a drive the block a few times) and all is good. Car is now 20+ minutes away so thinking a battery tender would be a good idea.
Any recommendations or are they all pretty much the same? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

I've just stuck with the Battery Tender brand as they seem do OK and seem to support the old car hobby. I believe they do use the charge/discharge type of cycle so they don't continually keep charging and boil out the batteries.
Optima also makes some battery chargers/maintainers that should work well with their batteries, but I've never used one of theirs. |
