I'm looking to get a battery tender for my vette. I know alot of forum members use them, my question is what is the best and give me a number for it so I can find a reasonable price. Thanks

The Schumacker 1.5 amp battery tender at Wal-Mart is under $25. I use one for the Vette and one for the lawn tractor. Works fine and a reasonable price.

Here's a previous thread covering tenders.....a few...

Quoted from another thread:

"You can get the Black & Decker Automatic Battery Maintainer (part number BM2B) at Walmart. Small compact unit and has 2 charge rates 1amp and 2amp so it's perfect for cars or ATV's, motorcycles etc. Comes with 3 adapters for connecting to the car (cigarette lighter adapter, alligator clips and a quick disconnect type permanent mount connector to battery terminals). $16.99 per unit. They were so cheap I bought 4 last weekend for the C6, C5, E55 and motorcycle, only the daily driver does without. If you stop and think about it they are so cheap it's not even worth the risk of possibly killing a battery by not having one!"

I use this one.

That is the exact same thought I had when I bought mine, cheaper to buy and maintain the battery than to spring for a new battery, especially RedTops, like most of us have. $20. + or - for a tender, or $130+ for a battery, you make the call....

I've been using a Battery Tender Plus for a few years now - paid about $60 for it and it has worked perfectly.

Same here, works great, and with the lighter attachment I just run the cable inside the cabin & plug it in.

search internet for ''battery tender plus'' . they are a nice product and they are cheap from someone on upper west coast [of usa] but don't remember who .

I just bought the Battery Tender Plus. Works great. Just over $50.

The one i have is a battery tender plus its about $59.00 dollars at pep boys.I am sure if you have no pep boys where you live you can probably find it at another auto parts store but it has to be the plus one the cheaper battery tender is not the one you want for the vette

walmart 15 bucks works great

DeeGee

Looks like you had some good recommendations

Mine runs off 240volts so I guess you wouldn't want one of those

CTEK 3300, works great.
