My cousin keeps two cars at his summer home and they tend to sit outside for weeks at a time over the winter. He recently mentioned to me that he has to call the AAA once or twice each winter to jump

It sounds like you have the perfect application for that gadget. And the price is right. I would just check the battery after a month or so, to make sure that it is not being over-charged and losing

You think he'll actually do it? Hearsay, but I've heard the harbor freight solar charger has a crude float circuit, so it won't overcharge. Not that a tiny solar charger really has any chance of over

I'm using one of the solar chargers from HF. It was the large one for $40. It seems to work. I've put the voltmeter on it with a load and it ranges from 12.6-13.0. I'm going to get another one for th

I was talked out of the HF float chargers by other guys in the HF store both times I looked at them. They both claimed that the HF units can eat your battery because the float circuit doesn't work. A

I have one of those. They are OK, if a bit flimsy. There is a nice Schumacher battery maintainer that is often on sale at Wal-Mart. It has a sturdy case and wiring, and also does 6 and 12-volt batter

Any comment on whether it actually takes the battery to full voltage and then lets it float down ? The ad copy sounds good, but the lack of technical specifications makes me suspicious. Randall ____

As I see it, they didn't have a "float" circuit at all. Just a constant (regulated) voltage. So did mine. But likely that was because I didn't fully charge the battery first. They apparently have no

Will the Battery Minder work on a single 6V battery or do you need at least two hooked up in series? Randall <tr3driver@ca.rr.com> wrote: > They both claimed As I see it, they didn't have a "float" c

Another option for batteries that run down due to constant drain from the vehicle is to add a battery disconnect switch. It can be a simple and inexpensive switch that you add on the battery post or
