my '64 needs to be on the battery tender all the time.....if I take it off for a week and 1/2 the batery is bone dead......today I tried to put the battery tender back on it and all it did was blink which indicated it wasnt hooked up right.....after trying another tender on it and getting the same results....I decided to unhook the battery from the car and hook up the charger....and no problem....the blinking red light became solid and it is charging now (I hope).....I have gone through a number of batteries in this car and the last time the parts store honored the warranty but told me no more, that there must be something wrong with my charging system....I had that checked by someone that knows what they are doing, but now I wonder if I have a current draw some place that runs down the battery.....the electric clock still works....but obviously that is deader than a doornail now....anyone got any ideas? Perhaps I should get one of those battery disconnect switches and just switch it off most of the time.....thoughts?
