Hey! Ya never know when I'll have to save the world from an evil threat! Seriously... I figured if AM put one in a box within the trunk and built a dedicated port for it and it alone, there must be a valid reason. I love this car but want to avoid repairs, if ya know what I mean Mike "Kube" Kubarth

I have Battery Tender's on all of my cars that are placed in storage. All are either 6v or 12v. - none are both. Funny thing, our Aston Martin (first year of ownership) came with a "tender" of their own making. It plugs in to a socket within the trunk specifically designed for that purpose. Bazaar...

Well, dont know what to say. I just won one at the 2019 Central National Meet and it was 6V only. And the one that I purchased for my parent's handicap van was 12V only. Maybe we dont get all the top shelf stuff here in the "fly-over" zone. But it's good to know that 6V and 12V are now part of the Battery Tender family.

That's odd. All my Battery Tenders have a 6-12 volt switch. I have had them a long time, so maybe there has been a design change. If they now sell only single voltage models, it certainly reduces value to those of us who have both old cars and modern vehicles. As to polarity, all of these chargers have clearly marked battery clips, red for positive, black for negative.

And I just saw that Battery Tender now has a unit that can be switched from 6 volt to 12 volt for about $10 more than their single charging unit. Ahh, the best of both worlds for us old car guys!

I use "Battery Tenders" as "life support" during winter storage, even on my regular vehicles. They will indicate when charging, and when the battery is fully charged. If you make an error in the hookup, it will also tell you. They are inexpensive units, and especially on the modern vehicles which have the under hood computer always on to search for "key fobs" near by, and monitor alarm and other requirements.
