There's a thread from last year that claims this doesn't work so let us know if it does. I'm using a CT solar charger under 24 hour fluorescent lights for my Z in an underground spot.

Remind me again why your cars are in "winter" storage? ;-)

No issues last year, I pulled the second battery every few weeks and topped it up. although I did drive the car a weather permitting, probably sat for 3 weeks at the most for one stretch.

Heading to Smugglers for a vacation then up to the cottage for a few day, so I wont have a chance to drive the car until the new year. Two weeks does count as storage, right?!?

Diddo. I actually used mine to drive around Christmas eve with my family to look at all the Christmas lights. First time ever.
My current Hankook v12s were a lot worse in low-single digit temperatures than my previous Michelin PSS. It was getting a little slippery though on the 29th so I decided to finally wash/gas/oil and put away the car.
