I'm going to buy two more and keep all batteries in the vehicles, but charged.
Would it be easier to just unplug the battery? Are these trickle chargers safe to use? Is there some kind of benefit to keeping the battery fully charged at all times?
Sorry for all the questions. Just curious what I should do now that I don't drive my Crossfire as often.
