Hey guys, seriously, I have no problem with whatever battery charger you choose - mine or another brand, etc. (Now, I DO care what brand transaxle cooler you opt for!)
On the chargers, just make sure that it is a float type charger. A visual indicator is a plus so you can tell something's wrong if it is charging all of the time, for example. I would recommend a name brand like Battery Tender or the other brand discussed previously.
The Cool Tech kit will work with '05 or '06. The screen that is on most of the '05's prevents you to mount a nifty little bracket so you just have to zip-tie it on the '05.

I have all of CoolTech's goodies installed and simply couldn't be happier. They're well thought-out, well designed and well engineered. I couldn't recommend Kendall more.

Good stuff, works well, specially designed for the FGT..
Running his superb Transaxle with "thermostat" (tx Black Ice) and Battery Tender are on my car being an '05.. even with the mounting bracket. 05's with the early double grill need the zip tie - late '05 1k+ serial can use Kendalls's mounting bracket (simple to determine as if you have a really obvious front grill you need zip ties). Will do the "butt delete" when ready through Kendall. Already had the halon system...
Here is a guy who insures the upgrade and non intrusive "tricks" of the FGT ownership can be presented to us all..... He even built the seat bumpers after he heard that somebody "blew" the back window out being over zealous with the seat slide.
Keep the fix's coming :banana

MDT, Kendall's kit cannot be fully set up on '05 cars with the radiator screen. There's no pass through for the wire because of the screen.
Optima + Battery Tender
Most of my batterys are Optima replacements for OEM lead acid originals. Optima dealers (Batterys Plus) recommend the Battery Tender for them. I have used them for years on my Optima batterys with perfect results.

On my 05 (#416) I ran the Cooltech wires thru the opening for the tow hook, and it works great.

Thanks for the info. Ordered a cooltech charger. Anyone know if the cigarette lighter adapter will work on a '73 truimph spitfire that is clogging my garage? (worried about polarity or who knows what else...)
