Yea the winter here will pay a toll on my newly painted hood and front bumper with all the rocks and salt they spread on the roads..

Which one did you go with?

RPMulli

The cheapy duracell on Amazon.com. I let you know how it looks when i get it in the mail.

I went with the one from suncoastporsche.com. I'm waiting for mine in the mail as well....

It really hurts me to put this car away, and drive a 97 accord for the winter... But it's time to save more money and stack up a few parts for the spring! That's always an exciting feeling of knowing you have various parts lined up for install...

Is it spring yet?................................................................

RPMulli

I hear ya.. I plan on doing the water pump in the spring and new wheels soon after!! I have to drive my 2000 A6 in the mean time.

Maybe we need to start a Winter Driver thread to discuss our winter cars for those of us who store our cars.

Today i got the battery maintainer and I hooked it up. Looks great to me. Only $20! Check it out.

I hate to rain on your parade, but this looks like a trickle charger. See where it says "2 amp constant output"? I wouldn't use it on my car, certainly not for weeks at a time. Sorry, and I'd be happy if I was wrong, but I don't think I am.

I am looking at the box here and it says "Battery Maintainer.. , Maintains batteries fully charged over long storage periods and during cold weather; includes reverse-polarity and overcharge=protection features." I guess I'll let you know when the winter is over.

Tim will be happy to hear you're driving the Honda .....

I'm telling you this Duracell is just as good. I've been watching it everyday. It turns on and off as needed.

I bought the CTEK US 3300 today. The only negative is that it doesn't come with a cigarette lighter
adapter. I'm off to look on eBay for one.
Cheers.
