We go to Florida for February & March. I had bought a Schumacher Battery Tender years ago. Used it on my 87 Mustang. FRIED the battery two years in a row. Sears did replace one, the first year. THREW that thing away and just disconnected the Neg. terminal for the rest of the time I had the Mustang. OK now, with the electronics in this XF I was a little nervous disconnecting the battery for two months. After checking around I came to the conclusion the best out there was the "Battery Tender". I went for the bigger one you show. I have contacted the Company because of concerns and have been assured that that unit is designed for just what I wanted. I bring the leads up through a hole in the car cover, close the hood completely with the charger outside the cover. It has been great so far. Just my $.35 cents worth. OH, the car is in a un-heated garage, in MA.
