I have a CTEK with desulphanation mode but I have to bring my battery upstairs to use it (on the balcony). No plugs anywhere near my parking spot and the building won't let me run a long extension

something about asking for forgiveness rather than permission. I'd never survive apartment living.

Norm I bought one of these for my lithium battery and it's a nice unit...

NOCO Genius G3500 Smart Battery Charger | Canadian Tire

Also, I took my car out a few times this past week... couldn't resist!

Perrin... if you're looking for something reliable, inexpensive and fun maybe try looking at a Civic Si... or a TSX 6 Speed.

That may only work with the wife, but worth a shot?

I just picked up an optimate 6 that's supposed to desulphate. Currently sitting beside it right now. Hopefully it works. Three batteries in less than a year would suck.

What lithium battery are you using D?

I got the Odyssey pc680. This will be the first time trying out a lithium battery for me.

Saw this little gem today and just had to share a pic, this is a tiny car compared to an S2K.
