Battery tinder

[klee168168]

I live in sunny Southern California. Mostly nicer weather here year round. I garage my v8v all the time. Some owners recommended the battery tender and also some sort of adapter where you can hook it up to the back of the trunk. They said if you don’t drive the car often to use the tender. If I drive it once a week, do I still need the battery tender?

I leave my battery conditioner connected whenever I don't use the car.
You shouldn't have a problem if you take yours out once a week, up to about 15 days you should be OK.

If you give it a good drive (> 20 miles, I’d suggest) every week, you’ll be fine. I have on that basis for 2 years.

I recently had the worry of leaving my ‘16 V8V for 3 weeks. I didn’t know if asking my other half to plug in the battery conditioner was worth it. In the end, following advice on this forum, I left it. When I returned, it started on the button with no indication of any issue.

It’s amazing that there is a tinder section for batteries now , I suppose it’s best to be positive about it - each to their own

You have to swipe right until you feel a spark (apparently)

At least there will be little negativity and polar opposites attract
