I have a 4-bank Battery Tender and I love it! My Corvette is a 2004 which I bought new. As of right now, it has 10,700 original miles so you know it has sat in the garage most of the time. And yet, all I do is touch the switch and she fires right up like a new one.
Because I had used my Battery Tender since this car was new, I did not have to replace the original battery until it was 10 1/2 years old! That's not bad!!

Why I chose CteK
The Ctek has an 8 step diagnosis cycle..
It does a Desulphation to remove any sulfur build up.
Its designed for Gel type Batteries.
It has a recondition cycle, ( the main reason for getting 8 to ten years out of a battery.)
I have a 16 year old Optima red top that I use as a Bench 12V test supply which I owe to a Ctek Charger.
I know a few things because I have seen a few things

CTEK here...works good and lasts a long time! Using it on Optima Red Top which I bought for my C6 because Delco was not holding a charge. My 10 has 8800 on the clock and doesn't get driven on anything less than "nice" days here in Colorado so keeping battery juiced is important and CTEK has never let me down.

Since I have several cars I rarely drive including my Corvette, I bought a 4-bank Battery Tender and keep them all on it all year 'round. Then they are ready to go in an instant when needed.
