CTEK 3300......should i leave it plugged in?
I wont be driving my car until the airbag issue is fixed so i picked up a CTEK 3300 to keep the battery in good shape. I plugged it in yesterday afternoon, and this morning the green light came on indicating it was fully charged.
My question is: should i just leave it plugged in, or should i take it off now that the battery indicates charged? |

Yes, you definitely want a battery tender hooked up and keeping the battery charged. Otherwise it can drain down and ruin the battery.

I gave my car away at the supermarket due to the airbag issue. The woman didn't believe it was for real. I told her I am not joking, it's as-is, don't be telling me down the road that there's an airbag issue. She even gave me her groceries and drove away. I was very sad, but I had to do it. Now I got a bus pass.

It was just as dangerous all those years i drove it, but the difference is we know about it now. If it is serious enough for them to do a massive recall, its serious enough for me. Some girl just died a week ago from this same airbag....minor accident and now she is dead. My wife is pregnant and i have an 18 month old daughter....why risk it? |

Did your dealer give you a car to use, and let you keep yours until there is an airbag fix? That sounds really good imho.... |

CTEK 3300 is a great product..
My E90 has been sitting in my garage, hooked up everyday continuously for the last... 3 months? ... I think I've driven my car 2 or 3 times this winter, and un-plug the charger, go drive, come home and hook my car right back up.
