You mentioned Deltran, and I am not trying to hijack your thread but what about this? My wife has a 2007 BMW with about 5000 miles on it. After about 2 years the car would not start. Took it to the dealer and they said the battery was not covered because it did not get driven enough. I fought and escalated to corporate and they replaced the "smart" battery. They did say I should put the BMW charger on it and that we have done ever since. I see it is a Deltran charger with BMW logo.
So, after observing it for months at a time when the car was not being driven, I was worried it would never check to see if the battery was getting drained by phantom draws. So I got into the habit, when I thought of it, of unplugging the charger and plugging it back in again and then it would start with the red light... then the red plus blinking green and eventually green. Am I doing the right thing?
I am also thinking of getting the Optimate 6 earlier than I need it for my other project to see what it says. That should be safe, correct?
Also, thanks for all the good info in this thread.
