Call me crazy but when you have a car that people don't drive in the rain, put to bed for the winter, enclose in a plastic bubble, wax till it blinds you, clean out-in-under and generally treat better than anything you own, why buy an $8 tender.

Spring $40 for the CTEK.

Plug it in and forget about it.

Default CTEK 3300 Charger

I bought this charger about a month ago and it seems to be working fine. If I find out anything to the contrary I will post an update. Thanks for the help........
