I'm looking to buy a Baterry Tender plus 12V 1.25amp within the next few day's. Getting one cause my car usually sits for a week or more at a time before I am able to drive her. I've done some research on Yahoo!, Google, and Ebay. Finding many differences in pricing plus shipping.

Eastwood - Reg. $59.99 (sale $49.99) + shipping ??? =
Battery Country - Reg $59.99 Sale $48.99) + Shipping $5.95 = $54.94
Batter Tender site - $59.95 + shipping ??? =
Auto Geek - Reg. $59.95 (sale $55.00) + Shipping ??? =

Ebay's listing vary quite a bit as you know.....

Which way to go and what's peoples opinions??

Thanks,
Jeff

Eastwood shipping on an item from $30.01 - $50.00 is high.... $10.95. From $50.01 - $75.00 it is $12.95, so if you see some other odds and ends you need to order, it reduces the overall percentage on shipping. But to me that's still a little high.

The Battery Tender is excellent. My car sits for 6 months without being run extensively, and the battery is always in good shape.

I would highly recomend the Battery tender Jr. It's about $35-40 and many times you can find it at you local parts store. The only difference is it's rated at 3/4 amp. I bought one from Pep Boys for my fathers diesel Benz when he went to Germany for 6 months. I also have a Battery tender 4pack that I use on my 2 bikes and ridding mower during the winter.

The battery Tender Jr. is NOT temperature compensated like the Battery Tender Plus. This is VERY important for people storing their cars in unheated garages in the winter time. As the temp decreases, the voltage needed to keep the float charge increases.

Buy the Battery Tender Plus right here for just $34.97

Thanks for the links "Joe Bellman", ordered one just now. Can't beat that price on a blow out Thursday sale!!!

Also thanks for pointing that out on the board when cars are stored in unheated garages. I forgot to post that info.
