I use the same Battery Tender I use for my bikes and race quads. Get's rotated between the truck, quads, bikes, etc about every 4-5 days.

everybody should read this..very useful info in this 1..

i charge my batteries twice a week.. and they always rest at 13.2ish after sitting for days.. granted the batteries are only about 3 months old..

but i have a shuriken bt100 when they 1st came out.. something like 3 or 4 yrs ago.. it was used everyday for yrs..and now i have it on a cheap 10dollar harbor freight agm maintainer/charger and it works wonders.. that old as dirt battery still sits at 12.8

chargeing your batteries will make your life so much easier

http://batterytender.com/automotive/battery-tender-plus-6v-at-1-25a.html I use that one. We used the Junior's at the bike shop alot with good luck, never tried a car battery with them but I'd assume it would work.

I love my kinetik intellicharger and it wasnt expensive at all.It lasted me for a while now since I ran kinetiks.This charger charges my group 31 batteries like a charm.I wouldnt recommend this one under the hood because its big lol.But something similar like this one would be cool to have.I take it with me all the time when I go to competitions,its always good to condition your batts.Also I always put it on a charger every time I get home from these events because I always rail on my system lol.I seen some similar to this one at big lots and couple of local car auto part places for like 20-40 bucks.The other thing I like is the convenient sticker on the back with the faulty codes that shows you why the charger shut down,it helps a lot.Awesome post drew,very helpful info here!

the little harbor freight one i have is only like .75amp charge i think... i got it on sale for 9.99

it takes about 8hrs to charge up a 100ah battery sitting at 12.3v..i think a pretty good deal for a 9.99 charger

if anybodys looking for a cheap charger that actually works.. go hit up harbor freight lol

My batts sit on the charger right when I get home everyday. There is no substitute for a XS Power Intelli charger if one can afford it. Simply the best out there period.
