Battery Tender or Trickle Charger?

[mdillian3690]

Has anyone used a trickler charge or Battery Tender http://www.batterytender.com/? I am storing my P-car for the winter and was wondering if these two listed items are needed?

My 11 is a daily driver, but even so, I do a lot of short in-town drives. When I'm away for more than a day I do use a battery tender (the junior version w/ its lighter accessory) and it works very well.

A good source for it and the cigarette adpater is http://www.batterystuff.com.

I know you had a question on proper storage before...take a look at the current TSB's. The fifth one down the list on page one shows the factory recommended storage procedures to follow...just temper those with common sense...

like Jim mentioned I would follow the tech bulletin. the airing of the tires does help on the flat spotting. also the Porsche battery tender works very well

I just bought the Battery Tender Plus 12volt 1.25amp. Do I just attach the pos and neg to the terminals and plug into wall outlet and there I go? Thanks!

Is Battery Tender the same as battery maintainer? If the battery is full charged, there is no current running to the battery, right?

I was told it is the same thing www.battertender.com. Not sure what you mean by current running through it?
