[Healeys] Trickle chargers

[Richard Kahn]

I have been using a Schumacher battery charger with float-mode monitoring for 15 years at least with no problems. I got 12 years on the first battery. Present battery is 4 or 5 years old.  It says on the box, "Charger maintains the battery when fully charged. Resumes continuous charging when battery becomes discharged". So basically a "float charger" but I don't know what the difference is between a float charger and a tender. Probably marketing. I connect it every time I bring the Healey home.

The lighter weight battery tender has worked well for me. I also have a jump starter that has worked well too.

Listers,



What is the thinking on the best trickle charger to invest in?  Pros and cons on using one?
