RE: Battery tenders/chargers with starting-assist option

Scott--i am very happy with my Chicago Electric Power Tools Battery Float
Charger purchased from Harbor Freight [no connection with either of
them],item no. 41288, http://www.harborfreight.com.
You just plug this little baby in and forget it. Unlike some trickle
chargers it has circuitry that won't overcharge the batt. I bought mine at
the local harbor freight store on sale for like 6 bucks!--i think they are
reg 10-12 bucks. Using this method, the batt is always in good charge and
one doesn't have to have a booster to start car. and did i say cheap?
p.s. will be in cannon beach this summer.

All,

I'm starting the process of shopping for a battery
tender/charger, the kind you plug into the wall and
connect to a car's battery.  Ideally I want one that
serves two purposes:

1 - hook up to car and choose setting A, which keeps a
trickle of current going into battery to keep battery
alive during long winter months of disuse.

2 - hook up to car and choose setting B, which causes
a surge of current sufficient to help get the car to
crank over when the battery is a little flat.

Any brand recommendations, or other words of wisdom on
the process of selecting such a device?
