Disconnecting is safe, cheap and lightweight. Pick the option that makes you smile.

A decent (builtin) tender has kept the crappy Interstate working for more than 10 years.? Forget the battery ..? Although the tender adds a few pounds!

I always am looking for ways to shed weight and modern batteries are an easy way to drop 20-25lbs. Agree with SJ on selecting the proper tender but I have reverted back to just disconnecting the batteries for long term storage. I am switching to a 1.5 lbs (yes, one point five) battery for my motorcycle. Good luck!

Anything by East Penn Manuf (they make Deka) is quality. Get an AGM then make sure your charger has the higher voltage AGM mode.

Then I had one die because the leads were accidentally shorted to the metal chassis and another die because I left lights on at movie theater (and they're never the same after a full recharge). Not battery's fault in either case but the $350 or so to buy them got old, plus they weighed a ton too. Went with optima yellow top, and was more than good enough.

Are any of them really car batteries? We used one of them for surveillance batteries which work just great for 12 to 15 hours.
