Trickle Charger

[hvychev]

Hi Guys, could anyone recommend a decent trickle charger? I looked and there are so many different ones. My father needs it for his car which after a few weeks always ends up with a low battery. We just need something that can sit and keep the little charge that is lost when the car is garaged. Maybe a suggestion from Amazon.com? Thanks in advance!

Frank, I've got a battery Tender the does two batterys at the same time works very well.
they also make single units.

Another positive commnent for Battery Tender. I leave one on the R59 Battery in my 69 Chevelle all winter. In the spring it cranks like a brand new battery.

Two single chargers and one Double bank charger <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif
After winter storage they crank the motor like a new battery <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

By the way, I just got my car out of storage today, this is the first year I have ever done an unheated storage. Here's my trick. When I store my cars I remove the battery altogether and store it on a wood shelf in my heated basement. It sits from mid November until mid April. When it's time to get the car I drop it back in and it fires up every time. NEVER in 15 years have I had a dead battery after doing this. The battery literally sits for five months and still holds it's charge.

Myself and others around here use CTEK. I've had mine for over 7 years with no issues.

I sell the Interstate one's, and have sold many with 0 problems. I have them on every vehicle (3 bikes and 3 cars, smaller one's for the bikes)and never a problem. PN: 920008

I have a old original battery tender and bought the Ctek 7002 this last fall after reading up on them, I like it, a slick piece for sure , being their smart technology it cycles the battery in the boat, set it and forget it.

I used Battery tenders for 25+ years until it fried a car battery and almost caused a fire. Now I use this and it works better then a Tender and it built much better. No comparison.. Id never go back to a tender again

Might be something to this. One of my Battery Tenders was charging a battery ( unsuccessfully, I might add) and the housing of the BT was so hot it burned my hand when I picked it up.

Here's one I picked up last summer.
