What did you do to your Hellcat today?

I'm not go

Harbor Freight electrical stuff is not a laughing matter to me. Those cheap chargers may or may not burn the garage down, but I sure wouldn't trust them. Also, their output can apparently vary quite a bit.

It's great that they have worked for you, but there are definitely superior maintainers out there. Ones with desulfation and carefully calculated charge curves (voltage, amps, temp). It's a bit like comparing a Yugo to a Challenger, I think.

Yes, both are cars and in theory both will get you to where you're going, but there are notable differences between them. Is a $20 (when on sale) BatteryMINDer really that much better than a $8 HF one? Absofriggin'lutely yes.

To be really nice to some of my batteries I use PulseTech maintainers that cost around ten times of a HF one. Are they worth it? With some 80 batteries to take care of, wanting them to last and perform as well as possible, I'd say yes they are. You may disagree.

I'm not gonna argue with ya...after all..aside from knowin a thing or two...you see more batteries every day,,,than you do people...nobody else I know can say that..

Batteries have some advantages over people.

For example, they are 50/50 positive and negative. Too many people are negative only.

Need to see how this install goes!

One way or another, they are going on. Challenge is to make it as clean-looking as possible, while meeting the main objective of easier plug changes, while retaining all OEM functionality and my catch can. Hoping to get it "done" next weekend so I can test drive the car a bit.

Not today, and not the 'Cat, but on Wednesday morning I'm headed for SoCal in the Challenger GT, and not just to burn up the gas from last year that's still in the tank. It's packed full of parts for the Peterbilt.

Anyway, the reason I'm mentioning this is that this morning I realized that once there I can listen to CA FM stations on the radio. Yes, Demonized 1971, we don't have FM radio reception here, so it'll probably be the first time in 16+ years I won't be relying on SiriusXM.

Cleaned my street wheels inner barrels, they were filthy from last year, charged the lithium battery, put the wheels/tires on, got it on the floor and hung up the big QuickJack items. Made an appointment for Thursday. The dealer is going install the Eibach springs, I am too old for that shit, then it will be totally ready to rumble. Getting close!!

Wow...no FM...do you @ least have "indoor plumbing"..

Wow...no FM...do you @ least have "indoor plumbing"..

That's debatable, I suppose. The water, floor heat, etc. is all in the slab so that doesn't qualify as indoors.

But maybe the fact that faucets, toilets and such, are indeed indoors overrides that?

Sage advice..guess I 'll have to pay more attention to my tenders from now on
