[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 467026, member: 15636"] For pure charging a depleted battery I say ‘no’, use a good charger w/ more amps. ‘Tickling’ batteries can do more harm than good ... The difference between a ‘trickle charger’ and a ‘battery tender’ is that a trickle charger constantly applies a charge, whether the battery is fully charged or not. Whereas when a battery tender senses the voltage has dropped, it will resume charging. Because of this a battery tender can be left connected indefinitely. (But I personally never do that ... ) [/QUOTE]
