I just got a Schumacher sem 1562a CA for my Crossfire because I found the battery dead yesterday. To be truthful it has been a month or more since I started it.

ctek and noco are the two best newer style non linear SMART battery chargers, they charge much faster and have tech built in for much better battery maintaining, plus they are super small. NOCO will not overcharge your battery.

I would use either a NOCO g3500 or g7200 to maintain your car battery.

The CTEK MULTI US 3300 will not overcharge your battery either, but I still would not leave it connected continuously.

I read it already before, not planning on leaving it continuously connected. It was local and available. If you'll notice mine is a different part number, make a difference I don't know we will see.

I've utilized the Battery Tender Jr., I've had this one over a decade. I appreciate the voltage accessory option available, just for convenience of being able to instantly read the batteries "health."
