(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Looking for a battery trickle charger recommendation. 1.25 Amp or 4. Amp best for winter storage on my 914? Price range? Tom in cold Michigan. Price range can be into the low hundreds. It can depend upon what type of battery you have (lead acid, AGM, etc) and the features you want. I recently bought two UltraPro Elite trickle chargers, but I only picked them because Costco had them in stock. 2-6 Amp depending upon setting. $40 at Costco, $65 at other on-line stores. Suitable for a wide range of batteries, and so far them seem to be just fine on my AGM batteries. Comes with a harness you can leave in place and quick connect/disconnect the charger. I have four vintage cars in rotation so all of them now have a harness installed. Don't have to worry about winter storage in my area so I drive year round, but sometimes a car will sit for several weeks between being driven. Your battery manufacturer may have a list of chargers they recommend, although I don't think you necessarily have to follow that recommendation. Good luck! |
