Thank you all very much.

I just wanted to mention that if you use a Battery Minder it will desulfate your battery after it fully charges it and keep it charged. Kind of a bonus. Also I should add that this winter I had it hooked up through my cig lighter and it was perfect. So much easier than connecting to the battery itself.

Could I ask what make of minder or tender (same thing, I assume), what store and how much? That's what I'd like to get if it's safe to have hooked up when no one is home for a few months at a time.

Is it the Accessory Power plug the item that plugs into the 12 volt outlet?
Looks good. Many thanks.

I use a Schumacher battery minder that can be purchased at Auto Zone and other auto box stores. When I store my Z and X-Runner in the Fall I plug them into a hard wired Schumacher battery minder until this time of year. I have done this for several years now with no problems...........

I think that I purchased an adapter off the net... you do not need one to go right to the battery but to hook conveniently into the cig lighter you do.
