I know that there are people on here that love them, but I think that battery tenders are a money making farce. Every winter my collection sits 2-3 months while I am away. Every spring I just get in, turn the key and start them. If I had a car with a functioning clock I would pull a battery cable for storage longer than a month. Being a cheapskate, I usually buy the cheapest batteries I can find and most last 5-6 years. A tender might be a good idea for a seldom-used car with a computer that constantly draws.

Optimas do hate to be overcharged--saw a tractor with a bad regulator ruin one in an afternoon. Otherwise, they are amazing.
