One of the Best in Show

Found an old thread, sounds like 8mm.

That is certainly one way to do it and maybe I will. I had to take the bolts out because the old tender was connected between the head of the bolt and the terminal. My plan was to hook this one up the same way but maybe Ill try you way. Either way I lost the nut and will just refresh the bolt...

Looks like I need a new battery terminal bolt and nut, I believe it is 10/32 carriage bolt and lock washer with serrated flange or at least that is what was on there. Is that what came from the factory? Would a local hardware store have what I need?

I don’t own a charger. It was also my understanding that our batteries need a slow charging process. I just bring it to Autozone, hopefully after this I won’t have to do anything besides keep it on the tender.

I purchased one and it has been delivered. Now I need to remove the battery get it charged and hook everything up. I will report back after it being on the CTEK but it may be a while since it’s the middle of winter here and Im not very excited to do the whole battery swap thing yet again..

Both of those tenders you linked are 12V and the Jr. is 6V. Maybe it is a matter or the Jr. being too wimpy for my car at least. Im going to try the CTEK and hope it holds. $100 is ok with me if my car will start when I need it to.

Is there a specific CTEK model you recommend?

Good info, I will look into that. The alarm guts are under the car so I would have to take the trays off. I’ll revisit that next time they need to come off

Hard to tell how fast it decays, I would say at least a month. What are some possible parasites? Is there a way to find out and button things up? I can certainly try the larger tender, in my research the Jr. should have been good enough but that’s a good suggestion.

Having some battery issues here. The battery for my ‘06 GT is less than two years old. I live in WI so I don’t drive it much at all in the winter or in bad weather. When not in use I put it on a Batter Tender Junior. It is wired directly to the terminals and fished through the front end via...

It’s the Battery Tender Jr. I believe, the one that I was recommended from this forum. Rich hooked up the terminals and ran it through the front end for easy connection. One strange thing I noticed is that one of the rear break lights is out whenever I put the key in the ignition and the...

Random battery question: Would your battery completely die if you left a door(or front/rear compartment) open and it was on a tender, and it was sitting for a month or so?

Where can I order new license plate screws?

Welcome! Im in Pewaukee and picked up my red ‘06 last year. Hopefully it stops raining so we can get out and drive.
