Battery Tender - Voltage?
I went on-line to buy a Battery Tender Plus. What voltage do I buy for a 2001 vette?
Thanks.

OK. I see that 12V units come with a choice of amperage. What amperage do I need?
Thanks again.

Either size Battery Tender will do fine, the smaller current rated unit will just take longer to charge a partially discharged battery.

I have a Sears DieHard Battery Maintainer - cost about $30 and works very well. It has an auto shutoff feature.

The Battery Tender Plus is what you need (12V).

Or a VDC Electronics Battery Minder. You can leave either of these
on indefinately with no fear of battery damage.
