Battery tender

I have the Genius 7200, it also charges my Pool Vacuum's group 31 Deep Cycle Battery. If I was just going to get a Tender I would have gotten a 1100 or 3500. They are made by NOCO

Ebay. Don't overthink it. A tender is just a completely dirt *** cheap circuit board on a regular cheap *** AC to DC brick and a wire.

Appreciate the response. Did either of you buy any accessories to make connection quicker or nicer looking?

I use this one. It has two different ends that just plug together. One end has alligator clips and the other one has eyelets so that you can connect it to the battery. Just unplug and go for a drive. I have one on my wife's car also because in the winter she does not use the car everyday and we have had issues with the battery draining. I mounted the plug in the grill and she can easily unplug it when she needs to and plug it back in when she gets home. I think that I got mine at Amazon and Walmart has them also.

I don't trust battery tenders to not overcharge or dry out the battery. So I plug them in once a week or so, let it charge and when full I unplug. But that's me...

It’s honestly a concern of mine as well. Up to this point, I had been able to take mine out for a spin for a good 30 to 40 minutes. Last year, I had some really long idle sessions and I could tell the battery was struggling. I really don’t want to get her out for a drive if I’m not able to do a full wash if the roads were salty. Since I’m having surgery this time, I know for sure it’ll be idle for 8 weeks (or more depending on the roads), so I’m ready to give one a try.
