Question for all: I too have left my '08 sitting inside the garage, basically parked and unmoved for almost 60 days now under cover. Its about 50 degrees in the garage. If I run out and purchase a Tender, and put it on the battery now, will it do anything to help the cause? For some reason I am paranoid about having an electric current running into my car all the time.

Also, is the main diff between a tender and a trickle charger... that a trickle charger constantly trickles current, but a tender turns itself on and off between trickles?

Thanks
