[Shop-talk] Battery charger/tender...again

[Scott Hall]

So we do this every so often, but:

I'm on my x-th Battery Tendr/Mindr. I've bought the big ones, the small
ones, the Tendr, the Mindr, for cars and for motorcycles.

I'm posting because I bought a new battery for the bike, put it on the new
charger...and I never got to use it. The battery was fried after a few
months.

Now the CTS-V needs a new battery. It's got an undersized battery anyway.
I'll but another one--again, but this time I'd like to hook it to a tender
that'll at least get me a few years out of the thing.

It's possible it's operator error, I don't know. I hook them up and plug
them in and...they die.

I wouldn't mind spending on a good unit, and I don't need it to be small or
microchip-controlled (in fact, I'd prefer if it weren't, maybe--I can
always just hook a charger up to an old-fashioned timer and let it run an
hour a day or something), and ideally it'd actually be able to jump a low
battery while it's in the car, too. But if I can inly have a small unit
that maintains an otherwise good battery, fine.

Someone recommend to me a decent battery tender that actually works. Or
tell me what I'm screwing up when I use the things.

Thanks.

Scott
