To ALL,
be very careful of the "tickle chargers" as opposed to battery tenders", I completely destroyed an automotive battery using an inexpensive (harbor freight) trickle charger. These devices place a CONSTANT charge on the battery and eventually will overcharge the battery, and then it is junk. I true battery tender actually turn turns on and off or maintain the correct charge level.
If anybody wants an old harbor freight unit you can have it for free, going into the trash very soon.
