I have a 2009 2LT V6 6speed. build date of october 08, purchased new in october 09. the car currently has 24k miles on it.

the car had a dead battery 3 times in November, dealership replaced battery under warrenty in December. This past week, the wife drove the car home monday just after 8 AM from work pulled it into the garage and left it till this evening (friday 6pm) and it is completely dead, IE unable to pop trunk to get to the jumper cables. the car frequently sits for 3 to 5 days in a row, as she works weekend nights at a hospital. this is starting to get alittle old, does anyone have any tips or advise? this car is more of a PITA than the '92 ford aerostar with over 200k she got rid of.

Tommy,
I've seen those battery tenders advertised on TV (Speed channel and a number of PowerBlock series). They are more advanced the old battery chargers with trickle charge in that they're supposed to know when the battery needs juice to charge and when it needs just a little bit to keep it topped off, without boiling it and drying it out.

I use a Battery Tender on the Camaro, as sometimes it sits for over a month at a time. Works great.
