What brand and/or model of battery tender are you using? I need to buy one and there are so many that I just can't decide. Thanks

I use a Battery Tender Jr. I actually have 3 of them plugged into a surge protector in my garage to keep a couple motorcycles and one of my vehicles, usually the mustang, charged up. They work great for me all winter long. If I did it again I'd probably get a single 4 bank unit, but the individual Jrs have been working so far. Both the bikes I have the hardwired connector because the batteries aren't the easiest to get to. The mustang I just clamp the thing onto the battery posts and let the hood down to the first latch. No problems with either method so far.

Awesome thanks!

Went ahead and purchased the Battery Tender Plus. Should get it Saturday. Just in time too. We might get flurries by the end of next week. I’m going to be out of commission for about 8 weeks coming up soon. I’m getting my right hip replaced. Queue the six million dollar man theme, cause both hips will be completed. I can’t wait to be able to sleep again lol. I’m also looking forward to more garage time with the Mach next year.

Not near the car but I got one with the harness you can put on the battery so no gator clips.

I personally like the cigarette lighter charging option but I’m not sure they “give” You that anymore in the basic package
