Default Re: Winter Storage

I've read some of the winter storage tips and it seems that I should invest in a "Float Charger". I don't know what that is compared to a regular charger or a Battery Tender. Can someone enlighten me? Also, with the Float Charger or Battery Tender, what is the recommendation regarding disconnecting the battery cables? Can I just connect it directly to the battery as it currently sits without disconnecting anything? Is there potential for the electronics or the alternator/regulator to be damaged with the charger running all the time? What about using a car cover with the battery charger? Is there potential for a fire hazard? Many questions but I'm just not too sure ...

I never really considered the mouse probability but I guess I better prepare for that ...

Too, I read of one person who seemed to store the car with the roof up. Is this the preffered method? Does it make a difference?

RIP Leslie Neilson

Best,
John
