Does anyone have access to a spare "Factory" FGT trickle charger (including the carrying case) they would sell or does anyone know if there is a source to purchase one of these? - I need one. Thanks!

Other than having a long cord, the factory charger is pretty lame. It doesn't have a LED to indicated that it is charging or charged. I purchased a great trickle charger from Beach-GT, a forum member. You can do a search for the contact info. :cheers

David, check with nota4re - aka Kendall at Cooltechllc.com That is what I am using as it is a Deltran unit, with the right cords and either the hidden grill mount coupler or the power plug adapter. The beenfit is that it is current limited with a three state LED to show the status and will never overcharge the Optima

BTW - how's the R&P on the 69? Did you find another unit? I just finished installing the Randall Rack. Easy - and the turn radius even without power is tighter and a hell of a lot easier! .... All I need is my engine back

I also wanted a factory original and got mine from:

http://www.fastpartsnetwork.com/

No. was 4G7V-14B249-AA. Reasonable price ($75 or so and fast shipping).

The guy who runs this company I believe is a member of this forum.

Thanks, Kirby, but I don't need it to charge with (I use CoolTech's remote charger) - I want it for completion of #422's OEM stuff. It's the only thing missing from the "black bag".

Thanks, Mike! I am seriously considering the Randall Rack but I've been finishing up another car project first so I haven't devoted any time to the 'Stang' yet. I don't multitask very well! :eek

My bad. I ordered the Ford unit from a Ford Dealer. It 's the same as OEM but without the bag. :cheers

Hey DBTGT, would you like the one back that I stole from your silver car? Better learn to lock those trailer doors!

trickle charger

One more question, if I can please?: does this just plug into the cig lighter adapter and then to an electrial outlet (like the Z8 trickle charger does) and does it have an auto shut-off? And how much are the chargers?

I have never opened one up to use it on my own car just yet.

Yes

However no charge indicator lights and much smaller than the one with the Z8

Takes care
