Battery tenders

RE: Battery tenders
Whenever I was stationed overseas for several years, and stored my 65 at the farm, I used a 1.0 amp trickle charger and it worked really great to keep my battery at peak power. Whenever the battery got full, the charger would shut off, then when the battery got a bit low, it would turn back on automatically. They are a bit pricey though. Best I remember, mine was over 50 bux. The brand name on mine is ACI Advanced chargers. It's model 120CC.

RE: Battery tenders
My auto parts store ordered one for me from "Interstate" I believe. I told him I wanted a quick connect with a longer cord, so hopefully that is what I will get. The guy who gave me a jump told me he uses them on his classics but I figured ya'll here use them as well so wanted any tips.

I went to pick it up but I just didn't like the Interstate one that came in. Instead I went over to Sears Auto Center, where the car guy had told me he bought his, and I got exactly what I wanted, it's a Die Hard model. Says it's for "classic cars" right on it .... it's 22 degrees out so once it warms up this weekend I'll put it on and then not have to worry.
(I'm recharging the booster pac just in case, though)

I use this one - I hard wired it to the battery with the plug coming through the grill and hiding behind the fog lights - that way, I don't have to open the hood to connect.
