"Amazing what a battery tender will do."

Well that was an easy fix!

That is how I fixed my Grand Marquis that drains the battery in the winter when is sits for a week. Never could find the drain source so the fix was the waterproof battery tender mounted under the hood and plug it in when it is wintertime. Starts great every time now.

I have the marine type one in my boat and use it all the time for the insurance that when it is time to go boating I know the blower motor will crank over in the Scarab for sure. Nuthin worse than dead batteries when it is time to use a toy.

It seems when you have lots of toys you are always screwing around with battery issues. Second comes waxing 'em all.
