thanks for the info Jack and Bill............I am obviously a victim of this. My truck sat for a week (I was down south) at -30 degrees celsius.........when I got back and tried to start truck......click, click, click - no juice!
I guess I gotta unplug programmer next time or buy a much bigger battery!

Hey Jack,
Can you explain what a battery tender is? I'm sure I could ask Billy, but if I have the question, I'm sure others do, too, but don't want to ask and sound stupid. I gather what it DOES, but what is it?

They're really cool little gadgets for sure. I use one with my motorcycle in the winter. They do just what they say, they charge your battery if it's low and then they monitor the voltage in your battery and give it a little trickle of juice when it needs a boost. There's a lead that you attach to the battery and tuck out of the way that plugs into the unit when you're parked. I have mine running through the frame of my bike under the seat pan and it pops out right in front of the rear fender. The plug is about the size of two Sharpie caps. They work great!

Well actually Jack I was parked at an airport parking lot and there was no outlet to plug it in. It is very rare that my truck ever since more than a day or two.

Like Cajun said, there's a "quick-connect" plug that makes hooking them up easy as pie. I have it permanently connected to my battery so I can just plug it in when I put my truck in the garage. Darned thoughtless of the airport not to provide an electrical outlet where you were parked, Chris. However, If your truck is driven as often as you say, you should be fine. Mine often sits a long time between drives. - Jack |
