Battery tender has been on it the whole time, shouldn't be a problem ... I am worried about the gas though !!

Did you put a little "Sta-Bil" and "Techron" in the tank before you parked it??

If you did, you should be OK!

I'm not sure what I'm looking at, but if it's what I think it is, I'd like to get one. WHERE?

This is the ONLY car I've ever had this situation with, as I've been storing various cars since the mid 70s.

I bought a battery tender jr. just for that reason, even with a new battery, mine dies within a month. I'm on my 3rd battery in 4 years since I didn't use a tender before. Of my other vehicles that aren't driven very much, only the vette kills off the battery like that
