Battery Tender (brand) are not battery chargers. They are "tenders," aka maintainers. They are specifically designed to be left hooked to the battery indefinitely and function best when they are always left connected (whenever the vehicle's not in use, obviously). I use them on everything besides my daily drivers. I put mine on the day I get a new battery and never take them off again until the battery eventually dies (which usually takes about twice as long as without using a tender). They're great for modern vehicles with lots of electronics that draw down the battery even when they're just sitting around and they work fine on old iron, too.

From their website:
How are the BatteryTender Plus and Junior battery chargers different from other automatic battery chargers?
Many automatic battery chargers simply turn off when the battery voltage rises to a preset level or when the charge current falls below a certain level. With the battery sitting idle, its internal losses will consume much of its stored charge. Depending upon the age and condition of the battery, it may only take a couple of months before the battery loses more than 90% of its charge. The amount of charge lost tracks pretty well with the reduction in battery terminal voltage.
Some automatic chargers will restart when they sense that the battery voltage is too low. As a battery goes through these types of cycles of repeated charging and idle self-discharge to low capacity levels, the useful battery life may be dramatically reduced.
Both the BatteryTender Plus & Junior battery chargers do not turn off after they charge the battery. They automatically switch to a safe float voltage level that keeps the battery charged and yet does not do any harm to the battery. In fact, in most cases, this type of charge maintenance will extend the battery s useful life by at least 50%.
Some customers have reported battery life increases of more than double what they had before using the Battery Tender Plus or Battery Tender Junior battery chargers.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work.
