My son, who is a mechanic, gave me a Milwaukee 18 volt drill and it=E2=80=99=
s pretty amazing.

As for a trickle charger, be aware and do your homework as I=E2=80=99ve =
learned that they aren=E2=80=99t as plug and play as you=E2=80=99d =
think.  A restoration shop I=E2=80=99m using told me even the Battery =
Tender Junior he=E2=80=99s seen catch fire and burn up the car and the =
garage it=E2=80=99s in.  I now have a timer on the trickle charger so it =
will cycle on and off every other day.  I also have an Airsteam trailer =
and found out the hard way, not a fire thankfully, that even the =
charger/converter that came with the trailer when plugged into shore =
power baked the 2 deep cycle batteries.  I was then directed to new unit =
on Amazon that I installed, that is designed to plug in and leave it for =
months and months, no issue.

Back to a battery charger for your car, this one is crazy expensive =
which I received as a gift from my wife for my Porsche 356. Before using =
it I checked to see if this was a plug and play for months charger, and =
it is.

So I=E2=80=99ll be watching this topic to see if there are other =
chargers out there that are safe to leave plugged in for months at a =
time.

Good luck,
