This is a nifty little little device you need!

If you have anything with a battery that is stored for any length of time , consider purchasing a CTek battery monitor. Don't confuse it with a battery charger as it isn't that. It monitors your battery and keeps it at an ideal state of charge for longer service. However , it won't charge a dead battery. I picked up one of the these at the Hunter's show and they're about the same cost as replacing a battery. So if you're like me and have a vehicle you store over the winter months , this little device is just the ticket for keeping your battery alive and is good insurance at a very reasonable cost. This is a good review here:

Sounds like a good thing to have---maybe our C/S members could use this. I don't winter/store my gals & am surprised you do; I guess you get hit harder than us in the valley?
