<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><br></div>I've had good luck with the Battery Tender, bought the first one below after learning it was the one BMW rebranded and sold for a lot more. I used it continuously for two years on my M3 without any issues, and the quick connect made it, well, quick to disconnect and reconnect. The M3 had a habit of killing it's battery just sitting in the garage, but the tender took care of that issue. <br><br></div>The small tender (Junior .75A), I used for my small gas generator, again, constantly on for several years without issue. <br><br></div>- Ian<br><div><div><div><div class="gmail-a-fixed-left-grid gmail-a-spacing-double-large" style="box-sizing:border-box;margin-bottom:44px;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><div class="gmail-a-fixed-left-grid-inner" style="box-sizing:border-box;padding:0px 0px 0px 120px"><div class="gmail-a-text-center gmail-a-fixed-left-grid-col gmail-a-col-left" style="box-sizing:border-box;text-align:center;overflow:visible;min-height:1px;width:120px;float:left"><a class="gmail-a-link-normal" href="https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FW2MWW/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1" style="box-sizing:border-box;text-decoration:none;color:rgb(0,102,192)"><img alt="" src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41D6xoP3IpL._SX90_.jpg" class="gmail-yo-critical-feature" title="Battery Tender 081-0148-25 25' Quick Disconnect Extension Cable" style="box-sizing: border-box;

are not hydraulic like actually go jacks. They DO lift the trailer
with no issues and I can move it on pavement. I does require alot
of force to move, but that isn't the jacks issue.) I'm thinking the
hydraulic ones are NOT preferred as they have seals that can go bad over
time. These are mechanical and there isn't anything really to fail.</font>
