Re: Battery charger
When I see the words,automatic,floater,maintainer,or if a charger has lights to indicate level of charge I run the other way.I had a Deltrans automatic maintainer melt down while laying on the top of the engine.It didn't hurt anything but itself.I see no reason to leave a charger on a battery.Once in a while I may throw a trickle charger on a battery for a few hours toward the end of the winter,but only if I think of it.I have a roadster that I put a used battery in back in 2002.It is STILL in there.I store that car 3 miles from here,and in the spring when I want to use the car I hook the trickle charger to it overnight before I try to start it.That was the first car I used the Fun Projects regulator on.I'll bet I haven't looked at the water level in the battery in years.That battery and one I got 14 years out of in a Ford Ranger have been the only two batteries that lasted that long for me.
