[QUOTE="wizbangdoodle, post: 16349240, member: 17037"] Battery chargers, tenders and batteries have changed a lot over the past 5-10 years. Lead acid or wet cell batteries have improved in their efficiencies. AGM are an easier battery to maintain and the new lithiums can really take a beating. Battery charging has changed as well and the best chargers/tenders are programmable to take into account the type of battery. I installed solar panels and batteries on my 5th wheel and learned a LOT during that process. Lithiums can save you a lot of weight. Charge rates make a big difference. With all that being said, one of those units you can pick up at Costco will do a fine job for a car battery. No reason to spend lots of money for a single battery. You just end up replacing it in 5-7 years anyway. [/QUOTE]
