ESokoloff Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 We have a Chevy truck that sits on the side yard for weeks months un-used. I need to maintain the battery & looking for a compact reliable unit. Leaning towards a Batterytender (brand) & don’t know what I need (4, 3, 1.25 amp or????) Suggestions? Link to comment
Rougarou Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I have the older model of the Battery Tender Jr for my '89 Chevy 350. It does what it needs to do in maintaining the battery. I have an Optima Red Top as the vehicle battery. 1 Link to comment
randy Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 assuming a good battery fully charged any level tender will work. but in general I have the 3amp for my truck and 1.5amp for my bike. Link to comment
ESokoloff Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 Ok, I’m ordering this Thanks gents. Link to comment
Hosstage Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I see you have ordered a 4 amp maintainer. I have always just used my motorcycle charger, a Battery Tender Jr., which is a .75 amp charger, I think. Works fine. Let us know how you like the new charger. Link to comment
ESokoloff Posted September 21, 2021 Author Share Posted September 21, 2021 Ok, I caved & ordered the 1.25A unit instead. It’s a compromise as it’s not micro nor excessive. I like the form factor of this one vs the mini mA versions as I intend on permanently installing it & this one has a corded connection vs a direct plug connection that will make plugging in/disconnecting easier.
