Wouldn't hurt to have a large one outside the car, too, in case you're not in it when the lithium battery decides to go up in (hard to extinguish) flames.

Do they give customers a free fire extinguisher, too?

There are surprisingly affordable ones out there. The proven BatteryMINDer, for example, is on sale for just over $20 every now and then. Even at full price ($40 something) they're a bargain compared to buying new batteries more often.

You mentioned Battery Tenders, but do they have desulfation?

Mine's at six years...but I also use a maintainer with desulfation, which might help. If it dies soon it'll be one of my shortest life batteries, and I care for almost 60 of the damn things.

Good luck, David!

Hmm. Maybe I should buy a Charger? That way, if I ever decided to store the Challenger on a lift, having a Charger underneath would soften the landing.

Dannmar is a less expensive version of Bend Pak, and mine has worked well, so far. I suspect that while it's easy enough to copy any design, with identical looking parts, they may not be of the same quality material, or hardened correctly, etc.

Well, people seem to be somewhat happy with their $5,000 (delivered) mini excavators. There's some really cheap shit out there. And as long as it's not my car on a $1K lift, and I'm not under it, it's probably just fine.

Whoa! I thought the snowflakes were in heaven, driving to Starbucks in their EVs.

I drove mine in the rain today! Okay, so there was one short section when I saw stuff on the windshield that wasn't bugs. Micro rain at best, but still.

I'm definitely no expert on the subject, but do they still use Chevys as taxis?

Slacker.

Yep, I saw it. But it has taken me a while to stop laughing enough to be able to respond. And in all fairness, if I were hauling passengers around for profit a Charger would be the better choice. Then, as soon as my shift ended, I'd be in a Challenger. Both to get out of the work environment...

Fixed.

I can only hope you're right. And it's been said that God protects drunks and idiots. I'm living proof of that.

A WD hitch will be your friend.

Possibly, but more likely because of how the car is tied down. For example, my 2,500 lb. Jeep used to ride in the far back of a trailer with a 42,000-lb. weight capacity, but it was tied down to unsprung parts (the axles) and never needed retightening of the straps, despite its squishy tires...

But they cost more than a real tongue weight scale, I think, which is more accurate.

That's also a heavier trailer, putting more weight on the tongue even when empty.
