Leaving a battery tender plugged in over winter is not a good idea.  It =
can cover up a failing battery and as soon as you leave it somewhere =
where it's not plugged in the battery can let you down.  If it's on all =
the time you don't know when and how often it is going into charge mode. =
 If you only plug it in periodically you can keep an eye on it and see =
how long it is in charge mode before it goes into maintenance mode, and =
that gives you an idea as to the condition of the battery.  About the =
only good reason for leaving one on all the time is when you are away =
from the property for some time and will need the car as soon as you =
return.  But with cut-off switches on all my cars I can leave them a =
couple of months or more and they will start just fine.

  Thanks.  I don't think it's the battery.  The battery is about two =
years old, and it's been plugged into a battery tender over the winter.
