my battery keeps dying and it's not practical to have the CTEK plugged in (it's a public garage at a second home). Does the California have a battery switch similar to the 430 or 360? I know about the small lever on the negative terminal of the battery but is there something more practical?
i just bought a california. i have the exact same problem. i plan to use the lever switch to shut off the battery. i am also thinking of getting a conventional lead acid battery, leaving it IN the car and hooking up an inverter to power the charger. every 2 or 3 months i would take the lead acid battery out of the car and charge it overnight. http://www.amazon.com/outlets-inverter-adapter-notebook-MRI3011BU/dp/B004MDXS0U/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1413942990&sr=1-1&keywords=12+to+110+inverter
