Do you guys always keep the Battery Tender on, even if you're taking the car out several times a week?
What are the pros and cons of just plugging it in everytime you return from a ride.

I made a few comments on battery care:

There is probably very little harm in plugging this in all of the time, since the output current tapers down as the battery "tops off." It probably should be done if the car must sit for more than a few weeks.

Some of you may know that I will be offering a wireless (non-contact) battery charger in a few months designed for the GT.

Hope this helps,

Mine is on a tender whenever it is not being driven.
