[QUOTE="Driver_WT, post: 320081, member: 6798"] I disconnect the batteries on all cars that I store for the winter, including C8 Corvette. Gave up using battery tenders. Garage is heated to 60 degrees F over the winter (at least until the heat pump does not restart after a power outage). I then stick the battery charger on in the spring, but it is not required as the battery charges up very quickly. I have been doing this for the last 5 years now, all vehicles start right up in the spring. Some reports of fires caused by battery tenders as well, which also factored into my thinking. Some years previously the battery tender would malfunction and not be working in the spring. I store 6 vehicles for the winter, so this is just simpler for me. [/QUOTE]
