    Not familiar with that one but if it is worth anything it will offer a way to recover a depleted AGMs.

    Why don't you just keep them inside if they are gel batteries? No more frozen issues

    I did that last year. Will keep the 2nd one inside but leave the starter one in on the battery tender.

    I had planned on it but the weather was so chill up until last week i didn't bother. Then Bam. negative temps and below 20 in the day.

    oh well.

    Eh..:itllbuffout:

    I've used that charger Mike linked for a while now on my rig, Jens car, and our survey radio gel batteries which are deep cycle and get killed 100-0% a lotttt. Been a great compact charger. Only gripe is it gets hot when bulk charging from a low state.

    Ha interesting.

    Not sure I'd replace my battery with that though.

    I do have a capacitor for my sub's amp. Huge one. 2.7 farad I farad I think though I doubt I let it hit hard enough anymore to ustilize it.

    Capatitors are pretty cool though. Be interesting to have them in parallel with a battery.

    Just went out and fired Frank up. My battery tender seems to be working fine. And he stays outside the whole time as usual.

    upload_2016-12-11_16-12-20.jpg

    pin diagram looks the same.

    Odd about the tacoma one. You sure its a 97 and not a 98?

    Ah i see its a later 97 and 98.

    Wow. Can't believe the connectors changed like that.
