Which battery maintainer are you guys using?

Like to keep the backup slide-in battery, boat and zero turn battery maintained and ready thru the winter.

This is the one thats been on my shelby for the past 10 years also have the same on my spare machine. Haven't had any problems, it will charge , although it's only 3amp but it maintains and exercises also. I have it hard wired with a quick connect plug but it also comes with clamps that plug in too

The mustang sets all winter on maintainer it has summer only tires that can't be driven below 40° and the spare van often goes several months without starting.

Is there a maintainer that does several batteries at the same time?
Im sure their is but i would rather have 3 59.00 maintainers than 1 for 150.00 that maintains 3 i prefer the flexibility. you can parallel the batteries and maintain more than 1 with 1 charger but you would probably need a more powerful one. When i had a boat i had a dual bank charger. It charged 2 main start and 2 auxiliary deep cycle batteries . It was built in and cost around 300.00 in1999 heres 1 i found by googling multiple battery bank charger

:headscratch:
you're overthinking it, Raf

if the batteries are out of the boat, mower and TM, (or even in) go buy a 10/2 amp auto-off charger.
just throw 2amp charge on them once a month thru the off season and they'll be fine.


..L.T.A.
I gotta ask what does ..L.T.A. mean? Im not a textin kinda guy and you folks use so many acronyms that i have an acronym dictionary on speed dial

Sure is. Just Google 4 bank battery tender.
I have a large commercial 4 bank unit but I rarely use it because you have to pull all the batteries to tend them.
I have 4 single maintainers that get way more use.
