    I appreciate the advice everyone. I just ordered a Battery Tender brand maintainer and will keep you updated on how it goes. THANK YOU!

    I've used a Ctek Multi US 7002 for almost 10 years as my truck doesn't get used regularly. It works great but, in those 10 years it has been warranteed 3 or 4 times.

    After the last time they sent a new one I decided to just maintain 2 batteries at a time. My set-up is 4 batteries together but wired as 2 banks of 2 as in the older Peterbilts. I isolate one bank from the truck and keep the tender on it for a week or two than switch to the other 2. Kind of a pain but I think it is easier on the charger.

    Looking to buy the Ctek Multi US 25000 next so I can just do all 4 at once.
