Trickle Charger
Hi Guys, could anyone recommend a decent trickle charger? I looked and there are so many different ones. My father needs it for his car which after a few weeks always ends up with a low battery. We just need something that can sit and keep the little charge that is lost when the car is garaged. Maybe a suggestion from Amazon.com? Thanks in advance!

Re: Trickle Charger
Another positive commnent for Battery Tender. I leave one on the R59 Battery in my 69 Chevelle all winter. In the spring it cranks like a brand new battery.

Re: Trickle Charger
Awesome guys, thanks! This one looks good!
http://www.amazon.com/Battery-Tender-021...=battery+tender By the way, I just got my car out of storage today, this is the first year I have ever done an unheated storage. Here's my trick. When I store my cars I remove the battery altogether and store it on a wood shelf in my heated basement. It sits from mid November until mid April. When it's time to get the car I drop it back in and it fires up every time. NEVER in 15 years have I had a dead battery after doing this. The battery literally sits for five months and still holds it's charge.

Re: Trickle Charger
I have a old original battery tender and bought the Ctek 7002 this last fall after reading up on them, I like it, a slick piece for sure , being their smart technology it cycles the battery in the boat, set it and forget it.
