TRICKLE CHARGER

Can someone send me a link to a solid trickle charger to mount in the car for a plug in. Think I've seen one for like $20 google isn't being too kind at the moment. They're all stations that you have in your garage.

Thanks in advance.

 

I am guessing the CTEK that comes with the car wasn't included when you bought yours.

This thread should give you all the info you need -

Also as you will read in the thread, I would advise you to get a battery tender, not a trickle charger.

 

Battery Tender. And not a generic version......

I bought a cheepos when I had a fleet of Bikes. Went out to the garage to find a few flat batteries.

Sean, as Adam also pointed out, SEARCH is your friend.

 

Sean - funny timing. I took my 599 in for service this morning. While I was there, I asked to have a battery wire added so I could plug the car into a charger. I have a bunch of the Deltran Battery Tender products that others have mentioned, they have worked well with my other cars and motorcycles.

The service advisor checked my car, I do not have the factory installed tender/charger in the trunk behind the small door (I was not aware of that feature). He has them in stock, $419, I got one, I figured I might as well have the factory setup. I hope it works well.

Best of luck on your quest.

 

Thank you Men

 

Did you check that your car doesn't already have the factory port? May just be there, and all you need is to make the plug and fit to any tender of your choice - see thread linked above.

Jackpot. This is what my 550 had.

 

Able to get one shipped to me for $59.99. 4.3 and everything!

 

It helps to find the the best deals after that kind of capital outlay.

 

Agreed! Hahahah. I still feels weird putting down $100k and only financing $32 for a few years. I could've paid off my condo - But I tell ya - I am getting very excited about adding this trickle charger, taking her in for a fresh service (oil/plugs/brakes/transmission/differential) and deleting those secondary cats - she is gonna be a beast!
