Re: winter storage
Instead of removing the battery I suggest you buy a Battery Tender. It's an intelligent trickle charger that monitors your batteries state of charge and charges it accordingly. For more info go here: http://www.4unique.com/battery/deltran/deltran.htm
For best price go here: http://www.accwhse.com I have used the Battery Tender for a few years now on vehicles and my riding tractor, they are absolutely awesome. Hope this helps. |

Re: winter storage
I have a dumb question:
Can the battery tender be hooked up at the jumper connections under the hood, or should it be connected right at the battery ?? Would it make a difference ?? Anyone tried it in both places ?? |

Re: winter storage
Battery tender now sells a cigarette adaptor($10-$12), no need to pop the hood. Simple plug-in connector to existing battery tender.

Re: winter storage
I made my own cigarette lighter plug adapter for my tender...works great! Just make darn sure the polarity is correct.

Re: winter storage
