I just found out I'll be leaving town for a week which has caught me a bit off guard with my new car. I've only had it for a couple weeks so I haven't had a chance to buy battery tender or anything of that nature.
What options do I have that will allow me to start the car when I get back? The car came with a Braille B14115 battery and it looks like the previous owner had a battery tender of some sort as it has the plug-in cable attached to the battery. The car has enough problems starting after sitting in the parking lot at work for 9 hours so I'm not too hopeful about the prospect of just leaving it and coming back a week later.
I have a junk charger I bought from Harbor Freight back when I had my FD, is this something I could use or will it likely ruin the battery? Here's a picture of the hardware in question:
What about simply disconnecting the battery before I leave? Am I going to run into issues with the alarm when I plug it back in?
Just to stay on top of my laziness, I'm planning on ordering whatever I need to prevent this from happening in the future. I've heard the Battery Tender Jr (Batterytender.com - Home of All Your Charging Needs Battery Tender Jr.) mentioned before, would this fit the bill for a small Braille battery?
Thanks in advance for the advice.
