Lift Pads
Re: Lift Pads
While I have you, I need to get a trickle charger for winter storage. We go to Florida. I want to get a GOOD ONE. I had a Schumacher in the past the did not work. I had to end up disconnecting the battery on my 87 Mustang instead of using a charger. I don't think this will work with the XF. I thought the Schumacher was a good brand but was proven wrong. Any help? Thanks,
Bill T.

have no problems with any of them.
I have one for the riding mower, the old '90 Suburban, the '89 Probe, the Crossfire and a spare.
I bought some 2 pin trailer hookup wires so I could plug them up without opening the hoods.
( make sure the 'hot' pin from the battery is the female so it can't touch anything, probably a good idea would be to also include an inline fuse, but I didn't )

I guess I just got lucky. A few years ago I bought a lot of 5 2 amp ones from a Chinese eBay site and
have no problems with any of them.

I've been using Deltran's for sometime on both Crossfires and my motorcycles and have not been disappointed. Deltran Battery Tender A lot of folks in the motorcycle community have been using them for years and come highly recommended.

I am going to go this route. I hear nothing but good reports about the Battery Tender.
I will check it out further and make sure I get the right one for my needs.

Hiya George, just bought two (from Harbor Freight, friend in NC picked em up, just have to wait until he or I next visit each other). They were on sale for 6 bucks each, original 20 bucks each (They have a boatload of em and need the room I guess). Can't wait till they come in, I have 5 things with wet cells in them but one with a backup would be more than what I think I would use.
Re: Lift Pads
The float chargers (not trickle chargers) will maintain charge but not overcharge. I bought the Chinese made from Harbor Freight and they have done great over the winter on my 3 stored cars, motorcyle, and lawnmower batteries. Everything started in the spring. I replaced my XF batteries at 8 years not because they were dead, but because they leaked out of the overflow. Batterytenders are excellent, but Harbor Freights work as well.
