First,what is wrong with your car that makes it need a charger on it all the time?My cars sit for months,start them up and go.Second,chargers scare me.The new smart chargers scare me the most.They don't always do what they are supposed to.I did leave one of those little Deltran maintainers on a tractor in the shed,I went out one day and it was melted inside with the paint burned off.It was laying on the head of the Kohler engine,so nothing was hurt.I will use low rate chargers sometimes,but keep an eye on them.I will never leave a charger on in a building unless I am around to watch it.I would rather fix the car than cover up the problem by keeping a battery charger on it all the time.
