difference between trickle charger and battery tender?
im leaving my car(infiniti g37) in the garage for 4 months,which work better?
You can get trickle chargers that will “turn off” or if you want to use the correct terminology – “cycle” to keep the battery charged.
The best bet is to ensure the electrolyte level is correct, loosen the vent plugs on top of the battery and connect charger.
Another hint if you are going to leave a battery for that long is to disconnect from the car, the smallest current draw over that period of time can draw power (radio memory etc).
If it is removed from the vehicle ensure the battery is placed on a timber bench or timber block on the garage floor in a well ventilated area, cold cement or concrete will also discharge a battery.
Hopethis helps.
Cheers.
