After doing some research, I bought an TecMate Optimate 4 because of the automating desulfating programming. I have always had just "chargers" so I will see if this prolongs life any. It was a little more $$$ but getting to the battery on my turbo Apex is a PITA, being buried under the intercooler and having to remove the headlight POD with all my gauges... I'm banking it will pay off.
I will switch it occasionally between my Viper and Apex.

I have the same charger, haven't had a battery issue since I started using it.After doing some research, I bought an TecMate Optimate 4 because of the automating desulfating programming.

Use an Optimate 3 charger. Have a fused SAE connectors on each on the sleds. No need to removed seat/body panels. Just plug in and your good. Have 7 seasons on the Phazer FX battery since going with the Optimate. So no complaints here.

i burnt out my 1st optimate and got the second one warm enough to turn the sticker brown recovering a bunch of 8 d batteries i used at camp on a solar system.
right now i am using a 4 channel noco genius on 4 of the 5 sleds and its little brother on the last one. been working well for the last 3 years.
