[QUOTE="YFCvii, post: 145470, member: 3252"] Curious :Shrug2: Is the term "trickle charger" being loosely used here? I always knew a "trickle charger" as being a device that applies a constant charge to the battery including when it is fully charged. This may be for cheaper & our hand-me-down gizmos only though (?) as I have not shopped a new one. I have learned to know that a "battery maintainer" is the preferred device to use in storage as it will apply charge to the battery only when it senses a drop in voltage. Please know that I am not intending to be persnickety about the "term" but rather maybe helping the novice to understand this stuff as they look for one of their own ... ??? I can just imagine the part-time school kid at Canadian Tire (or where-ever) helping our novice Corvette Colleague out as they buy one and the store help not even knowing the difference themselves. I will admit I don't know everything about this stuff but I do have devices known as "maintainers" ... [/QUOTE]
