I read much about battery tender in here and on the WCC site they have a nice small unit by CTEK. Anyone have feedback on those, I would appreciate that. The CTEK just looks kinda small but is a nice looking unit just not sure of the quality, etc. Thanks.

This is the one I use, I thought the conditioning feature was worth it alone.

I purchsed one at Sears for $40. It works just fine.

I don't use one. I always start my cars up every few weeks when not using them. It recharges the battery.
Worse thing that can happen, a new battery, costs $60.

I would make sure what ever brand you get exercises the battery, just not charge it.

I liked it so much I got two. They work great.

I use this>>


Got an extra set of the hard connectors so I can use as a 'plug and play' unit on my C6 or Lotus Elise. Has regular battery and gel battery modes (important since I have a Optima bat on the Elise)... small and very effective tender...and it has the 'exercise' (desulphation) mode>>
Here is an excellent link for more info on the subject>>

I have had no problems with the CTEK unit and it has been used in Europe many years and is hitting the US market like gang busters...
