Battery Tender winter storage....

[03SVTscott]

Do most people use a battery tender when storing their car for the winter?

 

[R.D.P.]

Yep - I use a generic one from Meijer, but same thing - 2amp float charger.

 

[JuStAkId]

Yep. Cheap investment and keeps the battery in tip top shape.
I as well just have a generic 2 amp Battery Maintainer / Charger

 

[BlksvtCobra01]

Yes generic one from Harbor Freight.

 

[Drive XR7]

Yes. I have an actual Battery Tender Plus, got it on a screamin deal from Amazon. I have found the cigarette lighter adapter to be very useful and helpful versus attaching directly to the battery.

I have been using CTEK for a few years. Excellent battery charger:

mines always on in the garage..

most certainly do. Have a battery tender for the corvette year around.
Hardly ever drive it. Battery did die once, reason for that was the wall outlet in the garage went out where it was plugged into.
Had no idea until i try to turn the car on lol.

I use one on my Firebird year round. It sometimes sits for several weeks, so I hook it up each time I put it back after a drive.

Don't even question whether or not you should do it when storing your '03 Cobra. It's one of those no-brainer winter storage necessities.

Yep. Have the battery tender plus hooked up to the shelby right now. I used it all last winter as well. Awesome peace of mind knowing when spring rolls around that I won't have to shell out $130 for a battery or worry about if the tune in the PCM corrupted or anything.

i need to pick 3 up this black friday.

 

[03SVTscott]

Are there any Black Friday deals.....I need either two or one that can charge two cars.

 

[Skitzerman]

I've been using a battery tender for many years. I have the original battery in my 12 year old Cobra and 6 year old truck.

 

[Bdubbs]

I always pull the battery from the car, then put it on a tender.

 

[Riddick]

I use one on my Cobra and my riding mower year round. I picked up one from Walmart, I think its a Schumacher brand and the other is a Die Hard I picked up from Sears. They are both basic tenders, one is 1.5 amps and the other is 2. Both were between 20 and 30 bucks iirc.

 

[Dusten]

All my toys on tenders, year round.

 

[RI-SVT]

yes I used it as well, just in the winter

N00b question here, but I'm getting ready to store my car for the first time ever over winter due to relocation and don't have my own garage since I'm in an apartment. Can you just the pull the battery out and bring it with me every two weeks when I go to start the car? I'm worried that the storage unit won't have wall outlets (is that dumb, or is that standard?).
