  • Battery Tender

    Anybody used a Battery Tender (trickle charger)? Thinking about getting one and wanted to know if anybody had anything to say about them good or bad. Thanks.

      Yup - Angie's car and my car are both on trickle chargers. Creight has been selling one - the Battery Tender Jr - that a lot of people on here seem to use. I'm about due for buying a trickle charger but I want to get one that's a charger and starter - nothing is more frustrating than going to start the car and the battery is dead to the point that the ignition doesn't do ANYTHING (no lights, no fuel pump, no relays, nothing) and having to trickle charge it for a few hours before you can start it.

            I have no shipping / handling charges for any Battery Tender I offer. Even the Jr at 24.99 has free shipping / handling.

                  My original battery was just replaced last year, I would say 11 years is very good on an OEM battery using one.
