emailcm Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I've heard that there can be a big difference is battery chargers. That there's a lot going on when a car battery gets re-charged. Anyone know of the best (set it and forget it) type that won't damage the battery and doesn't require any tinkering on my end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin00Stang Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 I have been using the little 1amp battery tender on my dyno trailer, seems to work well. Its supposedly smart and won't overcharge. You could wire a cigarette lighter plug onto it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emailcm Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Are you talking a maintaining charge or to charge when a battery is already weak? IE: one to keep on in storage, or one to recharge when weakened? one to maintain the battery in storage. I travel a lot and have had the battery go dead a couple times.

Joe G Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 I used to go through a battery about every other year on my 68 Mustang. Just didn't use it enough during the driving season and then it would die over the winter, even with a charger on it. Began using this a few years ago... http://www.thebatteryminder.com/12v133abat...e9a4aac456f16d3 Haven't had a problem since. It works great, especially if you go a while without driving. Won't harm the battery like many other chargers. Reasonably priced and works as advertised. Order on the web or I found it on sale at my local battery store.

Joe G Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Since? Does this mean you still have the 68? Did I miss something? Like pics? :hyper: Using this for 3 years - battery is as good as new, unlike previously. Still have the 68 - need to replace the fuel pump, so haven't driven it much this summer. Posted a bunch of pics of it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
