I use a Battery Tender on my convertible which is parked in the garage from November thru March. Too many on-board computers in this car to be able to remove a battery for an extended period. This is the fifth winter I have been doing this with no problems yet. Sometimes I need to start and move the car in mid-winter to access other things. Always starts right up.
Battery Maintainer: Prologix vs Norco Genius

Just ordered the prologix 2320. Should be here Tuesday.
I learned today that I have a somewhat weak battery. Wouldn't start after some time running the stereo. Checked the water and while the plates were covered I could see a lot of sulfation. Added some distilled water, jumped the car off and went for a nice drive. Hopefully it starts in the morning.

I'm not sure. Somewhere in the 3-5 year range.
Also when I say stereo it's not just the in-dash receiver. It's a couple of amplifiers in the trunk too. With the volume cranked up there can be significant amp draw.
Plus there's a lawn tractor battery to be charged as well

I'm currently using "high" voltage, 15.8V to desulfate.
It's effective and brings those batteries with poor electrolyte SG back to good.
I've also ordered a batteryMinder to test desulfation since many here says it's good.

I can't get the prologix to go into desulfurization mode. I just killed my car battery with headlights and stereo in about 20 min , voltage under load was 8.9v
Put the charger on it and hit the button, normal charge mode.
I'm mildly annoyed by this. I can see the sulfation through the watering holes
