May even break 30* this weekend, Steve. These little Battery Tenders are great for many things; lawn tractors, etc. I'm going to buy a second one because my son's Jeep Liberty only gets driven short miles here and there; I think it could benefit from being plugged in a couple times a week, just to keep the battery fully charged.

Funny thing, my 911, which is stored in a friend's heated building in Wisconsin, is left unplugged all winter. It has an Optima Red Top dry cell which never looses any power when left sitting (car has a battery cutoff switch). As for the Box, I'm on my second OEM Moll battery, but will consider an Optima when the time comes.
