Default Winter storage/battery removal

What brand of battery tender do you prefer? Do any of you use fogger oil?

Top rated is the Battery Tender Plus.

Don't forget to add stabilizer to the fuel.

I have had excellent performance from the $6.99 Harbor Freight Automatic Battery Float Charger PN 42292-8VGA. I have been using it for the past few years without any issues. Like tighed1 said don't forget the fuel stabilizer. I would also recommend unloading the suspension during the winter here is the link to what I used. I just put my car into storage two weeks ago, this will be its' fifth winter in storage. I always add STA-BIL to the tank and top it off for the winter. Then I change the oil, lift the car slightly off the suspension and then connect the battery charger. Once a month I start the car and let it run for about 15 minutes until it comes up to temp to keep the valves lubricated. This year I changed the antifreeze since it would be five years in the spring.
