I purchased a RediPulse charger/maintainer for my car which I don't drive much anymore. Leaving the charger hooked up for more than a month, I've noticed that it doesn't do a good job of bringing the

Did you mean to say "After talking to Pulsetech, they explained that parasitic current drain might make keeping the battery fully charged impossible"? If your battery goes dead after a week of non-dr

Many security systems (especially aftermarket units) still draw a significant amount of power even when not armed (it's setting there running the receiver waiting for the "arm" command). I was also o

Yes Well, I haven't charged/discharged it that much, but it is the reason I bought the maintainer, in case it had been somewhat "damaged" or at least "degraded". Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try

My 67 Dino is even older than your VW with even less parasitic stuff, the clock alone is enough to keep my charger from charging the battery. I have one of those Red topped gel batteries from SEARS i

The simplest solution to your battery problem would be to disconnect the battery from the rest of the car and charge it in isolation. Hook it up when you want to go somewhere. Unless the deep dischar

Just for an example of one that was hard to find ... I had a similar problem with a 70 Audi 100LS. But it was erratic, sometimes the battery would be dead overnight and other times it would go for w

Also FWIW, I've discovered that the cheap battery maintainers from HF will fail when connected to a deeply discharged battery. I've killed two of them so far. Apparently the only current limit is th

I've been very pleased with the 'ACI SuperCharger' units I've bought. I'm mostly using them for smaller SLAs, but they occasionally find them onto a battery in a vehicle. I have several of model 1206

If it's a gel-cell (I thought I read that it was?) then it might be ok. I had a friend leave a door open on my wife's Miata when he was using it and we were away. When I returned, the battery was at
