A restoration shop I’m using told me even the Battery Tender Junior he’s seen catch fire and burn up the car and the garage it’s in. I now have a timer on the trickle charger so it will cycle on and off every other day. I also have an Airsteam trailer and found out the hard way, not a fire thankfully, that even the charger/converter that came with the trailer when plugged into shore power baked the 2 deep cycle batteries. I was then directed to new unit on Amazon that I installed, that is designed to plug in and leave it for months and months, no issue.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Back to a battery charger for your car, this one is crazy expensive which I received as a gift from my wife for my Porsche 356. Before using it I checked to see if this was a plug and play for months charger, and it is.</div><div class=""><a href="https://www.stoddard.com/pcg35661171.html" class="">https://www.stoddard.com/pcg35661171.html</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">So I’ll be watching this topic to see if there are other chargers out there that are safe to leave plugged in for months at a time.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Good luck,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div data-mce-style="caret-color: #000000;
