[QUOTE="Bounce, post: 1450774, member: 257"] Battery Tender+ "trickle" charger here. Went from swapping Wing batteries every 2 years (failed at 2.5 consistently) to 4 years. Longer on the FJR. Tried to use it when flashing the RS3 and it couldn't keep up. Was at about 10% battery reserve when the flash finished. Went out and got an 15amp Battery Tender and it does well. Man, talk about battery chargers getting all fancy and stuff. This has a display instead of needles, shows battery % and more. Still use the trickle charger version on any vehicle except when doing like above (long/big load with engine off). My brother just had to replace the battery on his 2013 Caddy and it was $400! EV and inflation are driving up the cost of all this stuff. Ugh! [/QUOTE]
