Question: winter storage battery maintenance

[yron]

Thanks for all the great storage tips throughout CAC.
Can someone answer this:

Car is all tucked in with vett custom (tight) cover.

I need to run battery tender (had electrical issues last spring) So...Can I keep the cover on while tender runs? Figure I would prop hood up a bit and loosen the front quarter of cover a bit.

Is this a good plan? Open to suggestions !
Thanks


And yes it is only November and it sucks not driving my vett already...

Don't worry about leaving anything open/vented. The beauty of a battery tender aka. float charger, is that it won't over-charge the battery, so you won't be boiling off any fumes.

Welcome aboard yron. You won't have any problem with a trickle charger hooked up for the winter, cover and all. I have the Deltran battery tender hooked up to both cars in the winter, without any issues. Remember to take the car out for a spin if the weather is good enough.
