Battery Tender

[MadMaxx61]

Okay so ya my truck sits a lot now. With that if it sits for more than a week I need to charge the batteries to start it.

What one is the best looking for one I can mount under the hood.

But open to any that will work right.

Comes with 2 types of cords. A permanent and a alligator clip style. Both have a quick connect so you can leave the cable on truck and just unplug it.

Check the batteries with a load tester. Could be week. Most good batteries can sit for a month and not have problems. Bet your batteries are getting old and weak. Replace both batteries when you do.

The batteries have been tested all good it is that my alarm and all the addons eat power.

Battery tenders are nice but you pay for the name. I have a battery tender and a Schumacher charger/maintainer and both work well. Paid about 1/3 the price for the Schumacher.

ive even used those to jump start the truck... put the tender on for 10-15 minutes then fire it up. those are a must if your vehicle sits for long periods. I use one on my bike too.

bingo. I have one of each as well. a 6/12 battery tender and a 12 schumacher, both for the SLA's I deal with on a routine basis. We also have a small schumacher 5A car charger and an upright schumacher 5/20/50A car charger.

The guy's kid is an umpteen time champion, might as well buy his stuff and support the sport.
