[QUOTE="thill, post: 518070, member: 4972"] It was a name-brand battery tender that caused me problems years ago. I don't want to pay for new batteries if one goes bad again. My method is simple and my batteries last as long or longer than anyone else I know, so I see no reason to change, even if the new tenders are perfect. No dumb questions ever. If only two weeks, I will plug in the charger while loading my stuff. It should only stay on for a few minutes. If it takes longer, after the trip I will run it through the desulfur cycle on my good charger. That works great. But eventually the old battery gets sent to the gate opener and one day it gets swapped for a new one. Now that I'm on the Lithium kick, we will see how things change. I really love my TimeUSB batteries. I'm in my 2nd year now of zero issues and crazy long-lasting power. For $40 more than lead acid, it was a GREAT move! [/QUOTE]
