I put mine on a timer so its only on a few hours every day, also have a voltmeter hooked up to it so i can monitor that too.

Ive had my battery tender on my 66 for just about two years now. during the winter Ill rotate it between the tractor and the car. luckily haven't had any issues. I do keep the hood of the car up due to we get big temperature swings and condensation tends to build up. always thought about bringing the battery inside but was afraid of one "blowing up". as of yet no issues. its kept a 5 year old battery good as new now for a coupe years.

My old one died (after 40 plus years). This one is automatic. It's so simple, a (the forum does not permit me to enter the appropriate noun) can use it. Actually, it's too simple. From charge to maintain by itself.
Yes, there are horror stories. Yes, there is crap out there. Yes, you got to be careful.

Keep in mind that there is only one trademark Battery Tender. The name however is become generic to describe any battery float charger. There are many out there . Harbor freight sells one for 12.00 frequently. It is a piece of junk by comparison. Battery tender is one of the better performing brands IMO.  Kind of like Kleenex is used to described any facial tissue now.

i have been using these for a number of years with excellent results. price is right too.
