Go to Pep Boys. They carry the Battery Tender brand which is a great quality charger. Pick one up.

Have you looked into a track oriented, light weight battery? I think it's only a few more dollars compared to the OEM and EAS sells it. I'm almost certain if you buy it there they'll discount the coding.

My second problem i live in a condo... and garage outlet is not an option.. so trickle charge or battery tender does not work... I was going to drop the car off to a friends house tonight if i can get a hold of a charger. I drive 7 miles one way and gets me there pretty quick so most are quick short trip... and getting a lower lighter CA and amps might just go dead in less than a year... hope someone can chime in more for those who are using lighter and smaller battery... ![]()

They make solar chargers you could try if the car is there during the daytime.

Our cigarette lighter is not powered after the car is turned off. My understanding is no power out = no power in.

Battery Tender Portable Power Source?
Hi - I have the same problem. Live in a condo with no outlet for a battery tender. What are peoples thoughts on buying a portable jump starting / charging station of some sort with an outlet on it. Then plugging the battery tender into that, connecting it all to the battery and closing it all in the trunk. I'm thinking I could just take the charging station inside and plug it in as needed. Feedback appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks. I was hoping to at least get some feedback on who makes the best deep cycle portable power station. If anyone with experience or knowledge on whether or not this idea is a good solution would share their insight I'd appreciate it.

I'd be interested in seeing what you come up with. I don't know that I've ever seen a deep cycle specific one.
