Battery Tender from Canadian Tire?
Was shopping at Canadian Tire yesterday and saw a Moto Master battery tender at 60% or so off. Been looking for a tender and brought it as the price is just 
In general I find Moto Master products are not that great but for a battery tender how bad can it be?
Would you guys feel comfortable using it over a $160 Porsche one?
Thanks!

i had one like that for years and used it on my Porsche , never had an issue .. it was a small one I used to charge my motorcycle battery with and tend my Porsche battery with .
I even charged my dead battery from scratch once with it ( 1 amp) coz i loaned aout my big one. Took like a week but it worked great. light would be orange then turn green when charged. I still have it actually and have it hooked to my Audi All winter.

I use one that is made by Delran.Not much bigger than a cell phone recharger.Works great.I don`t leave it on all winter.Maybe let it run 1 weekend a month.
I bought it online from a bike shop in Oshawa.I think $29.95.

Motomaster Eliminator Intelligent Battery Charger, 2A
Product #11-1506-6
$19.99 I bought mine on sale for about $15
just roll down the passenger window a crack
plug in the cigarette lighter
i leave the charger in the rear passenger side foot well
hang the power wire on the coat hook hanger
I run this in the winter one week on couple weeks off
I use a optimum red battery
no problems here , just do not charge with the boot open the light just uses up all the charge.

I have the 2/4a Motomaster Eliminator on one car and a CTEK 3300 on the other and they both work great. I feed the wire through the door by the mirror so I don't have to leave the window open. Take a piece of scrap wire and shut your door on it in a variety of places to find a good feed through spot that won't crunch your trickle charger wire.
