Ive been looking for a cheap battery tender to use when i go to costa rica (im gone for 3 months at a time)

I found this one at harbor freight: http://www.harborfreight.com/automot...ger-42292.html

I dont really wanna spend $90 on a damned battery tender, ill just keep it disconnected for that much.

Anyone have any reviews/opinions on that tender or suggestions for another one thats fairly cheap?

ive tried googling it and ive gotten mixed reviews on it.

I didnt think this was tech or off-topic so if a mod finds a better place for it let me know/move it for me

 

I personally haven't had good luck with the Chicago stuff from HF. You can pick up a decent 20-ish dollar one at like O'Reilly's/Advance/AutoZone.

I use that one on my Mustang that sits in the garage. I drive it every other 2 weeks, sometimes longer and its always cranked right up, no hesitation. Same battery been in the car for about 5 or so years now.

 

Never actually looked at oreillys for a tender, always go in there for parts and im in and out in 5 mins or less, maybe ill stop by today and take a look.

 

Wal-mart has a battery maintainer for like 20-30 dollar range I've got one it works just as good as my Battery Tender Plus.

 

i got mine at harbor freight and had no issues,kept my battery charged for like a year i think.

 

Sorry Wal-Mart one of Americas economy killers.

 

i use a battery tender plus on my harley, an all others , they work great. it's called battery tender plus they also have muti uints too

 

Rich, sorry if you don't approve of where I buy things. Where I live there are few choices, so I'll probably continue buying what I have to at Wal - Mart.

 

I've gotten several from Wallyworld, no problems yet. Got them on my 2 ATV's, bass boat and ******, all used infrequently.
