The battery tender is Schumacher and I have several on my cars. They work perfect for years on all mine including the Optima i bought a year ago

I have a 1990s Schumacher 6/12 (Schumacher, iconic drag racer team). My charger has been thrown around and dented. Still works like a champ. Use the closed cell/maintenance free mode, as optima is. Just use it to charge once a yr, once it's charged I disconnect it (it's charged), gen picks it up on driving season. I do have one of my batteries laying horizontal for yrs. Great battery the Optima is.


I should also thank Bubba,skip, and the countless others with ever start.
