Message	battery in fall of 2018, after my red top died in my insulated, unheated garage while sitting disconnected for a long extended period. I use the tender all year now basically, because letting the Z sit even 2-3 weeks without driving I notice the battery's voltage dropping due to fugitive current draw. Its habit forming. Now using the tender is second nature and my battery is always charged up and ready to go. Inzane
