Battery Tender question - multiple cars
I have three cars that I plan on rotating on a single charger:
1. Grocery hauler
2. Kid hauler
3. GT3 - None of above
When I do hook up the cars, they will be charging for about a week each time. The cars will be rotated so that the charger will be on for one week, then off for two weeks on a single car.
Does anyone know if the above scenario will work for 3 batteries, or will the battery life for all three be affected negatively with the above scenario?
Thanks in advance!

depends on your tender. Is it a battery "maintainer" "trickle charger" porsche makes both and calls them the same. You shouldn't have a problem. Why don't you go buy another they're cheap anywhere then the dealer.

Bingo! That's what i was thinking about.
I personally have the porsche charger on the GT3, something similar for the Harley and a jumper box (battery with jumper cables) for the Benz when we go away I can go on and on.

Thanks for all of the responses. The multiple station unit looks good. I forgot to mention: the cars will be garaged in two different sites. I have the Porsche-Ctek unit for the GT3. Might as well buy another cheaper one for the other cars. Again, thanks for the suggestions.

Cheapo battery tenders from Sears. No problems for the past 3 years. Porsches through the lighter socket, Benz to the rear battery in the boot via connector.
