Battery Tender question for 09 ACR

[Shad0w]

So Im looking for a battery Tender for my 09 ACR.

The car is parked in my garage for the winter and I do have access to power...
Which Battery Tender would be best? I noticed there's a bunch of models.

A number of alternatives on the market. I've had good success with Ctek.

I'm using the battery tender plus. It is better suited to charge a battery vs. the Jr. which seems to be mainly used for maintenance.

So this would be the one?
Battery Tender® Plus 12V @ 1.25A

I dont quite get what all the diff models are all about

 

[SSGNRDZ_28]

Yes that one you linked to. There are many models, the main difference is voltage and current output, number of banks, and international vs USA models so you can **** out many of them.

You'll want a 12V model. The JR is meant for maintenance (low current output), there is also the waterproof model with higher output.

I use the Sears Battery Charger/Maintenance unit fastened to the wall near the rear of the car. I installed the quick connect plug on the battery and the cord from the charger stays attached all the time with the deck lid closed lightly {no pressure on the wire}. The unit stays on 2 amp trickle charge and only turns on as needed. I have the Sears Platnium Gel type battery. Hope this helps.

I have several Battery Tenders for all my machines - work flawlessly.

Been using the Battery Tender Plus (1.25A) for many years now. Also bought a Battery Tender Jr for the generator and lawn tractor. They work well.
