Suggestion for trickle charger wanted

[Johnny Danger]

For those who are still in the market for a simple cost effective battery maintainer, I just picked up a Deltran Tender Junior complete with the cigarette lighter adapter
for $36.00 including shipping . It's virtually identical to the one Porsche offers for much less money .

I use to buy them by the case at Harbor Freight Tools to give away to my customers when I owned a battery co. Buy a battery and get a free "maintainer"!!!. The ones with the direct hook up to the terminal with a disconnect are a little more "sure" that the cig lighter style. I use to pay about $2 - 3 dollars each. They are also called "float chargers" Sold that company in 03 and I am sure the price is up a bit now.

I have had a schumaker maintainer for more than eight years works perfect and is generally less expensive than competitors.

I got an eyeball on one, working out numbers. I should just replace the schumaker, you're right. I shouldn't let it touch a new car after being used on the 986, might catch m96 motoritis.

Yea... Too much juice for those ultra light batteries in the new Spyder.

I use a Deltran Tender Plus. They have three or more models and they work great. When I'm going to be out of town for a month or more, I hook mine up and never worry.

So is this what you are using now? How is it? I have a 2001...can I charge/maintain my battery through the cigarette lighter?

I been disconnecting my battery every winter which I been told now is not a good idea....:/

I purchased it last week, and so far it's worked perfectly. I'm aware that there are more sophisticated maintainers than this one. However, it more than satisfies my needs.
